And now a word from the funk

What is the funk? Many folks describe the funk as a sickness similar to a cold. Some refer to it as a state of mind. The meaning for funk that I love to use it for is both. Cause I have it. I've been coughing a bit (from smoking) and my mental state of mind is that of a crazy person at times only due to the fact that a certain someone is driving me crazy.
Oh well. I've got to get over this although he' s making me really wish that lawyer was not out of town.

Completed projects.......
My first pair of blue baby booties thanks to the free pattern from Carole Barenys
Pardon the pic. I'm still trying to figure out the best ways to take a pic with my new digital camera. My old HP cam is so easy I never have a problem with not enough or too much flash.
Anyways, the booties were so easy and so quick to make! I am such a pro until I noticed after the second bootie was sewn together that I goofed it up when I was knitting the sole.
If you think this is a different pair of booties, you are mistaken. These are the same ones, but I had to turn the flash off in order to get a defined shot. I accidently knitted an extra row with the first one and didn't log it on my pattern so I didn't duplicate the mistake on the other one.
The yarn I used was Lionsbrand Babysoft pale blue. And I still have a ton of it left to knit more. Next time I will log my mistakes or undo them for the second one. ha ha ha

I don't know which way the sole is suposed to be. Is it like the one on the left or the one on the right? I've seen more like the one on the right but when sewing it together it seemed like the seam may get on the baby's nerves. hmmmm Thoughts anyone?

Basket weave project became a Hat!
The basket weave knitting from my last post finally decided to turn it into a hat! I did the same basket weave knit that I did for my friends purse. (No I havent finished it yet. I'm still trying to figure out how I want the strap.)
The Hat was of my own design.
Unfortunatly, I really didn't count how many stitches I cast on, all I did was cast on a number of stitches that were divisible by 4.
K4 P4 for 4 rows. On row 5 P4 K4. Then repeat pattern until desired length (enough for a roll or fold or not)
At desired length begin decreasing!
K2tog, k5 and repeat that until about 8 stitches remain then cut the yarn, and thread the yarn through the remaining stitches for a tight close.


Great wineNews:
That wine store will start carrying my MandraRosa. They are even selling it to me for $9.99 a bottle. That's not bad. It is cheaper than paying my mom to buy and mail me some and I don't have to wait (not as long). Ah Ask and you shall receive, sometimes. I'm still asking for my sanity back.
Cheers & Happy knitting!
