Friday couldn't have come sooner.....

"Burning Down the Hut"

What a week! I'm still getting over being sick. I have yet to block Icing only because of my crazy cats. I fear they will annihilate that poor scarf that has taken me a month to knit. I'm not about to let that happen. J is hooking me up with some styrofoam to block it on. I figure I'll get it totally blocked at some point on sunday. (J = my awesome man that's almost too good to be true but all in all I know it is meant to be)

In the mean time I'm knitting on a grey hat for J. I know there's that Curse of knitting for a boyfriend but this time, i think it will be worth the risk. He's awesome and not going anywhere. Which is a first in a long time for Sym and Me. It's a mindless hat just a simple 1in rib of 1x1 then stockingette all the way to the top. Blah boring. I'll knit better later. After the Yo's and the SSK's of my first lace accomplishment, I needed boring and easy instant grat. I'm actually in the decrease for crown stage so I'll probably finish it on the way to our weekend destination. Which I intend to take many pics and post about...well maybe not all of it. ;-)

Project Complete

I am Pleased. Here was the before More pics to come. :-) Some may recognize it. It was the cake topper from my wedding day to the ex. Why in the world did I keep it all this time? I have no fucking clue, it just happened to follow me. All I know is that it was white and it deserved to be black. It was still in the original box, with the $24.95 price tag from back in 1999. It even still had cake on it. EW!! Luckily my dear, dear friend Utini cleaned it and painted it black for me. Thanks hun!! Check out his blog. You'll know why I got him to help me with the base coat and cleaning. ;-)
I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I honestly had a million ideas for this thing but ended up just letting go and let it flow. I put all the color on it. My camera crapped out but will take more pics when the battery is charged. They will be on flickr. XOXOXO
