it didn't happen
so i was supposed to have some fantastic new knits to show you after my long weekend of knitting. well i don't have much. i fell into this mode of trying to get stuff done that i had promised people way back. the first on the list was another cupcake hat.
this will go to the grandaughter of a co-worker.
next i cut out the fabric for an amy butler bag that i owe a friend. it was for her birthday LAST july. eek.
speaking of amy butler. crap. her new stuff is so cool i can't contain myself. i just promised my mom that after this bag i am working on i will never do another. i hate sewing, i hate cutting fabric. i just like the end result. the process sucks for me, unlike knitting where i enjoy the process (for the most part). and the new stuff has home things. like cool pillows and stuff. i need home stuff. ah the inner turmoil.
and then i knit this. 3 times.
it's another incomplete handbag. this one will probably be frogged. i just couldn't wait to use the yarn that stacey gave me and so i knit and knit and frogged and frogged until it was the right size. now it is the right size but not the right look.
i did get a few inches done on my second lace sock. for now that is the only knitting i'll be doing. i am focusing (again) on some house stuff (like those dandelion prints). tonight is knit night though so i'll probably get inspired to come home and find a thousand things to knit. i have yarn all over the place in my office. it is awaiting more ikea furniture (did i ever tell you i took the billy stuff apart and returned it all??). once i get organized in there things will be better. like maybe i'll actually get some stuff done for my store! jeez. i said coming soon right? okay, well soon is relative :)

Happy Birthday to me! I finally get my cute Amy Butler bag!!!

I totally know that feeling - big ambitious knitting plans for the weekend, only to find on Sunday night that you haven't accomplished a fraction of what you intended to do!!
I do love that cupcake hat though. I'm so enamoured with all things relating to cupcakes.
What kind of things are planned for your store?
(sorry if you've already discussed this - I'm new to reading your blog)
Who says you have no knitting to show us? I see a handbag right there. Forget about the fact that its not the right size. It's still knitting!
Hey woman! Why don't you like the bag? I think that it's fabulous!! You'll have to go read my latest entry and spot my Grey's reference. Tell me what you think!
Yummmm! I think I might make some cupcakes. That hat is adorable.
The cupcake hat is so cute!
I love the shape of that bag! Were you planning to felt it? Or line it? I think it's a keeper!
