Edward Progress

I am currently 25 rows or 25% into Lani's CBN Edward.  He doesn't really look like much yet.....But he looks pretty good I think.

Once I finish Edward,  I am going to start a Hogwart's Bunch Blanket.  Its for me,  so it'll be a "pick-up-put-down" project. 

I also have another project OTH right now.  Its a Hello Pitbull.  rebecca182 from Ravelry emailed me the graph she made last night.  The one I am making doesn't have the eye patch,  but he is just so darn cute!  I will post progress pics of him later. 

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.  What are you working on today???

What A Weekend....

My demo for CBN didn't go as planned.  Handed out quite a few flyers,  and got asked if I wanted to do a craft show with my CBN pieces.  The show is in November,  so I have time to get a few pieces done before then.

Lani's Edward is coming along.  I am 12 rows in.  Looking good in the blues,  even though it doesn't look like anything yet.  I will post some pics tomorrow.

I started a Jacob yesterday,  but I think I screwed it up.  So it may have to go into the frog pond.

I don't have to much to write about today.  I will write more tomorrow.....

Elvis....

is now a pillow!  YAY!  I finished it up last night,  but didn't have a chance to get pics until today.  I am not overally happy with my "stuffing" job,  but it turned out ok.

I have a promo/demo set-up for tomorrow at 1pm at the Hobby Lobby at Walden & Dick Rds in Buffalo.  Plus a class set-up for next Friday from 6-8 pm at the same location.  If you are in the area,  stop by!

UPS.....

Brought me a present!  LOL  Not really,  I paid for it, but still!  My Herrschners order is here.  I ordered some Red Heart yarn for a few CBN projects.  Herrschners is the only place I can get all the shades of browns.  The ones on the bottom left are actually Aran,  not white as they look.

Onto other CBN news.  I maybe possibly doing a demo/promo on Saturday.  Not sure when or where yet,  but I will keep you guys updated. 

Also,  one of my closest friends,  Rilana,  loves Edward from Twilight.  So,  I am going to be making her this one.  But he will be in shades of blue.  I hope she likes him!  I need a CBN project to work on during the demo,  so this will fit the bill!

Book Review: Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

I finished Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick last night.  I loved this book.  It started out kinda slow,  and it was really hard to follow.  But after a few chapters,  it really came together.  Nora is the ultimate "good girl" until Patch comes into her life.  She is very attracted to Patch,  but he also makes her uncomfortable.  She knows that he isn't good for her,  but she can't stop herself.  Its like an invisible thread holds them together. 

Someone (actually 2 someones) is trying to kill Nora.  Her best friend Vee,  honestly believes it Patch.  Nora questions herself,  and Patch. 

I don't want to give away too much information with this book.  It is a YA/Paranormal read.  I give it 4 1/2 stars out of 5.  I will definately be reading the next 2 in the series.

New Project....

Nope,  not a CBN.  Socks!  LOL  The pattern is Oregon Grape Socks.  My friend,  Rilana,  is a knitwear designer and this pattern is hers.  I love it.  Very pretty.  Feminine without being overly girly.  I am knitting them in Knit Pick's Stroll Tonal in Springtime.  The pic is very washed out.  The color is very bright and happy.  I need that right now.

Its been snowing off and on since last night.  We had 65+ mph wind gusts last night.  The Southern Tier is getting hammered with snow.  We only got a little over an inch.  The temp is supposed to drop like a rock.  High of 15 tomorrow.....BRRRRR....Going to make a big crockpot full of chili to chase the chill away.  I hope everyone has a great week.

A Knight's Vengeance Book Review....

Yesterday, I finished A Knight's Vengeance by Katherine Kean.  I picked this book up as a freebie,  but don't let that dissuade you from getting this book.  I kind of "waffled" about whether or not I liked it.  But,  as the story progressed and the characters personalities came out more,  I enjoyed it immensely.  Elizabeth is a very headstrong woman for the age the book was written for.   I never really warmed up to Geoffery though.  He just seemed too wrapped up in his own personal revenge against Elizabeth's father.  But still,  I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
