Finished Objects!

Well hello! Yes, it has been a while since I've written. Yes, I did drop off the face of the earth. Yes, I will TRY to get better at posting more frequently! GAH!

So this weekend I went back to Canada for Mother's Day. It was great, had a nice weekend. And for the first time in a while, I got some hardcore knitting done. FINALLY! So here are some finished objects (well, I say finished in that I finished knitting them, the actual finishing part is yet to come but really, that's neither here nor there):

Okay this doesn't look like much, but it is a second attempt at a cell phone cozy. The first one I made when I followed the pattern was too big and the BO/CO for the antenna was messed up. This I managed to knit on the drive home from Canada, in 2 hours. This is my quickest EVER! It works well to knit when John is driving because I criticize his driving way less...it's a win/win. It was also the first time I tried to change a pattern ALL BY MYSELF! I know you knitting pro's are laughing at me right now, but there is a first for everything!

This is a dishcloth for my girlfriend who just moved into her first house with her boyfriend! I don't know why, but it took me a while to get this done, probably because I didn't have a deadline (their open house isn't until June sometime). I plan to make another one for her in yellow, but I think I'll look for another pattern.

I'm hoping to post (and knit) more after this week. Work is crazy insano and I have been working lots of OT, hence the lack of posting. I will be at Knit Knite, however, for anyone who is reading! :)

Oh, and a special shout out to my Yarn Faerie from the One Skein Secret Pal Exchange. I know you will be reading, so you will be my motivation to post and knit!
