never just one thing....

I can never do one thing at a time

don't know why

have never been able to

it drives me crazy too

I showed you the stars yesterday

well here is a half a star

the other half still to finish

the grandson found this the other day

one of those teeny tiny little things I was making a while back

it comes from some site where she makes little pin cushions in tea cups!!!

so....

well I don't have to say it

one finished fingerless mitten

started the other day while watching a movie

it's just a chain of 32

I used my hand ...it measures a little more than 7.5 inches around the knuckles!!!

but it isn't for me !!! so I hope the person they're for has hands close to the same size!!!!!

sc all the way around for 6 rows

on the seventh row

skip about 8-10 stitches by making a chain of 8-10 sts

and in the 9/11th st sc around

that is the thumb hole

when you reach the chain on the next row just sc around it and continue

round and round and round we go

until it's long enough

I stuck a pretty edge of two rows of star stitch at the end

and

cast off

the second one is on the hook!!!

love this colour!!!

then yesterday while I was surfing and perusing

I saw something that tickled my fancy

so out came the #6's and the merino mix yarn

and after a good gander at the picture

I cast on 24 stitches

we had to go out so i took it with me and did quite a lot in the car

 the pattern?

cast on 24 sts

knit to the second to last st

yo and knit last stitch

turn and knit back

do this for ten rows

 you will have little peaks at one end and 28 stitches!

on the eleventh row join a new colour

make sure you are at the flat, even, not peaked edge

and knit all stitches

turn

knit two stitches

bind off the first

do this until you have bound off four stitches

knit back to the beginning

change back to the first colour

and repeat the

ten rows

knit to the second to last stitch

yo and knit last stitch

turn and knit back

on the eleventh row change colour and knit to end

turn and bind off the first four stitches

and what you end up with

is like a crown

and on the top are little eyelets

my only problem is................................................. I ran out of the white yarn

so I had to frog it and change the scheme

red with white instead

of

white.......

oh well what's new

and I'll finish a proper pattern if anyone wants it!!!

see complete and utter chaos

sorry!!!!!

plus I've been changing passwords on everything

and answering emails as to whether I had sent this that and the other

and doing the wash and trying to decide what to have for dinner

poor poor me

boo hoo!!!!

:)

and

trying so so so hard

not to start something else

that my brother in law sent me

if I have time maybe I'll whip one up and send it to him for

Christmas

that'll teach him!!!

:) :) :)

see ya's
