After a couple hours spent finishing, seaming, and crocheting edges, it’s finally blocking! I had to block it in two stages, because of the ruffled skirt… and I have yet to decide whether or not to sew and create a picot edge or not. The open-lace edge is quite pretty on it’s own, and I don’t think I have enough yarn left anyway…

What Liz Means |
 You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience. You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along. But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge. |
What Your Shamrock Says About You |
 You are a high achiever. Success comes fairly easy for you. At times, you can be slow to act. You don't like to be outside your comfort zone. You don't really consider yourself a lucky person. In your view, people create their own luck. You are stylish, in a classic sort of way. You are particular about how you like things. |
Progress? What Progress?
So Thermal has been thoroughly neglected this week. I can't even blame it on "second sock syndrom" since I'm not even finished the first sleeve yet. I think I may be intimidated by the should er cap. Can I blame it on the ambiguous "knit these 4 rows 5 times more" part of the pattern. Which 4 rows??? I'm so confused… maybe someone will read this and take pity on me because I'm afraid to continue less I completely muck up a perfectly good sweater sleeve.
In other news, I knit a baby hat the other night ^_^ They're awesome 'cause they're so quick! I even manged to use up some stash that's been lying around since well before Christmas. I'm going to add some embroidery to it this weekend and then maybe I'll have some FO pics to share. As of right now, you'll have to be satisfied with other internet silliness.
I know it's Photoshop but it still makes me happy ^___^

I love this kind of thing, I'm just amazed at the creativity in some people.
And if you happen to have $600 to spend, head on over to Vitamin D(esign)
Stupid Quiz Fun
Who is your inner bombshell?
WAAAAAHH!! You're inner Bombshell is the zany Lucille Ball! You like making people laugh, but also know how to turn on the glamour when the time is right. To most guys you're the perfect all-around gal. But sometimes you get into trouble and have a heckuva time talking your way out of it. You may be accident-prone on the outside, but your a first class business woman on the inside. A pioneer, so to say. Lucy can still be seen hamming it up on her most famous television series "I Love Lucy".
