Link Hat

I finally made a hat that reminds me of Link's hat in LOZ. I've wanted one since forever. But never really had the patience to make one. And the ones I found patterns for online were not something I was happy with. So I just made a pixie hat that had a nice slouch to it. And yeah I don't think Link's hat had a ridged band on it but it helps me keep the hat on so I added it.
.
On a much more awesome note... Woodstock on tape is awesome and the men were much more sexy then, than they are now. Which is sad but whatever. <3

A moment of bubbles

Have you ever just had your heart feel like its slowly just expanded and then poof it exploded and you feel so in love, so happy, so beside yourself? And yet theres no one in your life that you're in love with at that moment. So you relize that you're just happy and you don't need to feel bad anymore. And it basically feels like a weight was lifted off of you and you smile and you laugh and just feel all together good about everything. About where your life is right now, about how you feel about yourself, about pretty much everything. Well at the same time about nothing, cause you just feel... but it doesn't identify itself to anything really. I enjoy moments like that. When your heart just explodes with happy and love and the lack of the world can't burst your bubble. I just had a moment like that. It was awesome.

Heart and Scarf

Being bored and surfing the web is probably never a good thing. But it made me think about Valentine's Day which is the bane of every single persons existence. Though I have always had fun with the girls. So in honor of V-day i've made one of a few sweethearts. This one will be for Nadine since shes so lawl worthy.
Next would be my Luna Lovegood Scarf. I followed this pattern. Which I thought wouldn't bore me what with the variety of stitches but I did get bored and distracted a lot. But I love this scarf and am so glad I finally tried the pattern out.


And last but not least this started out to be a blanket. But I just got to bored to finish it so I connected the ends. And now its a cowl scarf thing.

Starghan and Handwarmers

So I definitely finished two of my 50 projects. Yay me.

Starghan:
Being me I couldn't just do a normal one nope not at all so I went and found the pattern for the Chromium Star Blanket. It wasn't that difficult but I found myself bored easily with the pattern. So it took me longer then it should have to finish it. Mines also a bit wonky because I think my tension differed from going up and down on the points. Oh well I'm pleased with it.

After that I was worried i'd never want to crochet again. Cause well it was a pain and went from being fun to a choir.

Well at the mall on a shopping trip with the girls I came across some fingerless gloves in Hot Topic that I loved. They have bows on them hello! But looking at them I said "I can't buy these, I could make them so buying them would be a waste of money." Of course being me this is something I say often and never really end up making the item. Well I wanted them bad enough to remember. Mine are no where near as long as theres but they make me happy and thats what matters most.


They're not black, obviously and they're not as nice I suppose. But they have the cutest bow on them. And they're made with a soft yarn that i've been saving since I bought it. I'm pleased so that's all that matters.
So the goal for 2010 is to complete 50 projects by the end of the year.
