Knitted Fingerless Gloves (Magic Loop Method)

  

Needle Size: US 6 (4 mm) Addi Turbo Circular Needles (29 inches)

Yarn Weight: Worsted / 10 ply ( 9 wpi )

This was knitted using the Magic Loop Method, which I prefer over double pointed needles any day. I was originally knitting gloves for the husband, but it was too small, so now they are mine. :)

I actually finished this last week, but I never got around to taking pictures. This project took me longer than planned due to my friend, procrastination, visiting. But if I really focused, I could definitely knit a pair of gloves in a couple of hours. Right now, in addition to other projects and orders, I am currently working on another pair for him. Hopefully, going up a needle size would work fit/size-wise. We shall see, I guess...

The 52 Week Money Challenge (Weeks 1 & 2 Update)

Week 01 - July 12, 2013
Week 02 - July 19, 2013

Current Savings : $3

(Image courtesy of: www.savingeveryday.net) - I'm just adding the red check marks as I go along.

As of today, I have $3 saved up for this challenge! Whoo Hoo! LOL.

In other news, I am currently working on a pair of gloves, and catching up on my "shows." I just got around to watching last season's Leverage, and I just found out that it was canceled back in December due to its ratings falling. Bummer... I really loved that show. Plus, I loved the actors/actresses, their characters, and their onscreen chemistry. :(

Now, let's talk True Blood:
     - Not liking the Billith story line, but I do like the Vampire-Faery twist.
     - Eric Northman, a.k.a. Mr. Alex Skarsgard, still F****** HOT.
     - Still love Pam and her feistiness!
     - Could not stand Tara as a human, but love her as a vamp!
     - Sam's sex appeal (?) is just not doing it at all for me.
     - Lafayette is still Lafayette. Love, love, love!
     - I still find Alcide (Joe Manganiello) hot, but I am not a fan of how his character has been acting at the moment. That she-wolf (bitch? LOL) has been getting on my nerves... She needs to go. Really.

I have been crocheting and knitting for many years now, and I love it.  I find it very relaxing and enjoyable.  I'm hoping that this blog will whip me into shape since I have been slacking on it for the last few months, and I now owe certain people certain things.  Hahaha!  I figured that if I make an actual list of what I need to make, I will be forced to actually make them.  :)

So here goes my list (not in any order):

• Peejay - purple cowl/hood
• Peejay - black slouchy beanie
• Phoebe - slouchy beanie (color to be determined)
• Phoebe - black cowl/hood
• Elo - red & gray striped beanie
• Elo - red & gray striped fingerless gloves
• Justin - white beanie
• Elo's mom - slouchy newsboy cap (color to be determined)

• Joy - maroon slouchy beanie
• Ron - brown scarf
• Mike C. - charcoal gray infinity scarf
• Mike C. - gray striped beanie
• Lowell - gray & green hooded scarf 
• John R. - black, white, or purple skinny tie 

I'm sure I missed some people... I just listed what I remembered I owed people.  I included a couple of finished projects in there just so I can strike them out.  It makes me feel better, makes me feel like I accomplished something. LOL.  I will periodically refer to this list, and update this list as I progress along.  If I did forget someone, please remind me, and I'll add him/her to the list.

Here are some pictures of some of the projects I finished.  I have made more, but I never took pictures of them...  I wish I did though...

Come to think of it, I do have more pictures but they are currently stuck in my inaccessible external hard drive.  Hopefully, this blog will also compel me to start taking pictures.  =P
