Calvin's not happy...

Last night I decided to frog the gray cardigan I had been working on. It wasn't coming out to the right size on the directions - it most definitly was going to need more yarn than the directions said. So, I said screw it and frog! After pulling out two and a half skeins - I decided to make my cat, Calvin, an airy spring sweater. He was a good sport, until I finished. Needless to say, he wasn't too happy about it. Here are some pictures of him wearing the sweater...and sulking.

I modified a pattern that I got from here. I used Caron Simply Soft in Mardi Gras. Great yarn to use. I am looking forward to making more from it!
Like my toes in the bottom of that last one? hehe. So, I that should finish another WIP for me. Unfortunatly, I have started not one, but TWO more projects. Julie at the 'Ville is going to have me walking the plank when she gets back. I started Beths Little Star Afghan, but I am making it a big one. I figured it would be nice for my first 4th of July in Pennsylvania. Nothing beats a boy, blanket, and fireworks on the 4th. Now, if I could just work on the boy part.....darn =(. Anyways, here is a picture of my progress. I have 11 rounds done. I think I am going to do 12 red, 10 white, and 8 blue. I think that should be big enough. Keeping my fingers crossed!


I also started working on an edge for a light flannel fabric. This is for my girlfriends little boy. He will be 6 months old on June 11th. So, he has graduated from his new born blanket and needs something that will keep the sun away from his sensitive little skin. Hopefully, this will be done tomorrow.

I started a crochet (and knit but more of a crochet) journal to keep track of what I've done, what I'm doing, WIM, Christmas list, etc. It's nice thus far to have everything in one central spot. Does anyone else do this? If so, do you have a method to the madness - I'd love any suggestions. Mine is pretty primative right now!

On life notes: I am loving my new car! It is so much fun to drive. Definately don't regret this purchase. I was worried that I would regret having a car payment and such - but I do love the new car. Gave me something to be proud of. I'll put pictures up as soon as I can - I promise!

Other than that - life has been relatively normal. Nothing cr
azy exciting - which is welcomed right now. It is nice to have everything a bit calm. I know in a few weeks - it isn't going to be that way when I am moving. Grrrr - I absolutly hate moving.

Well - until next time - here is one more pic of my man Calvin.
