what i did realize in 2011 was that i love knitting. and not in a normal human-hobby kind of way. this sh*t is real. at first i was eh about it, but then i really started liking it. but then it got all "i was just a stupid bet" with me and tried to make me cable and read charts and i tried to walk away. i thought i knew what i wanted. but in the end, i was able to overcome all our differences and make it work. call up kate hudson, cause we have a fan-fucking-tastic romcom on our hands.
i love knitting so much that i made a lot of my christmas presents this year, which i was very excited about. i pulled a grandma cully and made marmie and meg the same thing, and even made them open their presents at the same time!! they both got a cowl based on something completely overpriced from the gap, and a pair of fingerless mitts. btw, my mom is a fox. and can you tell meg moved to la?? i think it was around 80 when she took the pic for me.
my favorite present, however, was what i made for my dad. after much searching, i realized i wouldn't find a pattern for a sabres hat, so i kind of made up my own based on a couple of others. in the end, i'm super excited with the end product! the only problem was that its a tad big for my daddio's head. oh well. he rocks it like were a winning team! LETS GO BUFFALO!!
since i was having such a great time knitting, i didn't stop with just the presents. i made an owl hat with a pom pom!!
and mustaches (elephant not included)!!!
so while the 2011 resolution may have been a bust, im hoping 2012 is much better. i made a ton of resolutions, including knitting more and possibly starting my own site to sell some stuff (who really needs 6 pair of owl mitts?!?). i've also resolved to learn a foreign language (spanish), learn basic web coding, pretend to go to the gym, and yes, cook. so far so good on each resolution, but its still january!!
happy knitting!!
