Let's Talk Knits...

I know it's summer and it's too damn hot to even think about winter accessories, or even just handling yarn in general, but how pretty is this scarf?

It's called the Gathered Scarf, and the pattern is by the very talented Maryse Roudier. Even her name sounds cool! This is definitely going under My Future Projects section, and I can't wait to work on it. As of now, I am currently working on 3 (knitting & crocheting) projects, which I hope to finish soon.

So... with my husband and family's insistence, I had relaunched my online store:

www.charmed.etsy.com

For the last couple of weeks, I've been busy filling orders, trying to get it to my customers in time for the holidays.  I would usually do this after I get home from my full time job, which means I am sleep deprived! I have averaged about 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night!  Thank God I have a very supportive husband. :)

Anyway, I should really get back to my orders... Maybe I'll take a break later and blog again. :)

Chick With Sticks

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)
• Elo's dad - beanie (color to be determined)
• Lyssa - scarf
• Lyssa beanie
• Roy - black beanie
• Jan - blue beanie
• Vin - gray beanie
• 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
