Can't find a project I WANT to do..

Well, I can find a million that interest me..just not enough to do them. I started one earlier that I am not too sure will work out. I am making a sweater out of Peaches & Creme...against my better judgment. I just can't find any other yarn that jumps out at me that is cotton or acrylic. I hate that the colorways on acrylics are so short or just plain suck. Why can't they make things like Ty-Dy in acrylics? It's not that complicated...really, it isn't. Just make the colors run longer. Seems super easy to me...

Over-Achievers





Okay..so I taught my husband how to knit yesterday morning. It took him about 5 minutes to get casting and the knit stitch down and he was off and knitting. Then my 6 year old wanted to know how to do it. He taught her. Took her about a half hour to get it.
Over-achievers really piss me off LOL.

Yarn out of Control...


This is getting a bit extreme. This is just one part of the stash. And yet I buy more..There are still multiple boxes and bins in the storage room. Sheesh. No wonder my husband rolls his eyes.

Leather Skirt Bag




I bought this skirt at a thrift store for a dollar. I decided to make a bag out of it to haul my knitting stuff around.





It was already lined so it made this super-easy. I turned it inside out and made a seam along the bottom of the lining.











I cut off the excess and used it for a strap.
