Out of this came two dishcloths. They're those ones that apparently people's grandmothers make, the ones on the diagonal. I'd never made one before, so that was fun. I also now want to play more with cotton yarn, and have bought some Lily Sugar N' Cream so I can do so. (I think I actually want to make a skirt or shorts out of it... cotton's nice and light, and seems to be a good thing for summer!)
While I was on my way home on the bus, a couple of girls sitting across from me admired my backpack (the Hello Kitty one - the front panel of it is my icon) and were asking me about knitting. We had a nice conversation, as I'm always happy to share the joy of knitting with others! You'd think it was a religion or something. ;P
As for what I'm working on now... I'm making a GIR. His head and body are finished, but he still needs limbs and eyes. Wonder if I can also make him a cute little doggie suit?
Also... it's really hot lately. This makes me disinclined to do much of anything... and oddly, I've been finding myself betraying my natural hide-in-the-basement tendencies and instead laying in the sun and getting a tan (which normally I hate). Any suggestions for light/small/summer-type knitting projects?

so, Jack finally got finished a few days ago. For some insane reason, I have moved onto Dahlia, which (for me, anyway) is insanely difficult. I want to extend the "skirt" into an actual skirt so I can wear it as a dress, but... well, let's not worry about that yet. I got confused just casting on!
Well, okay, maybe that's a teensy bit of an exaggeration. However, I managed to misread/misunderstand the directions a few times, leaving me very confused!
I think I've got it now, though, and hopefully it'll all work out. *crosses fingers*
And now, onto the picspam... which is probably not so much picspam considering there's only three pics. But whatever...
( pics be here )
Oh, and for those of you on Ravelry? If you want, you can find me there, under the name willowkat (link to my profile).
Hug Shrug (scroll down - it's the last one on the page).
I'm pretty much always cold, but it's mostly in my arms (I tend to wear mostly T-shirts), so I figure a long-sleeved shrug would be a lovely thing to have! Not to mention that I was able to get some lovely fuzzy extra-bulky yarn for a dollar a ball the other day, so I've got enough to make a project like that. Yay!
I've been slacking on my knitting for the past few days, though, so who knows when I'll get around to it...
Note: This pattern is also on Ravelry, if you're a member there.
I think I've found my next project: the

Anyway, today is Monday, and Monday is my watch-stupid-amounts-of-TV day. And why am I mentioning this? Because TV watching means knitting time! Tonight I'll be starting Jack Skellington (links to a pic of a finished project), which should be fun.
If you have Ravelry, this is a free pattern, and can be found here.
I think I'm going to try the suggestion of using pipecleaners as a "skeleton", so he can be bendy. As far as I can tell, this should be a quick project!
EDIT: Two out of my three hours of TV aren't on tonight, so I might watch a movie instead. Must have knitting time!
