September Review

 September is over already! Time to reflect on my progress. (Ive left out the un-started projects to make it look like I've done a lot ;))
Grrl Friend Market Bag- no progress.

Unisex Gloves- I can't believe I haven't uploaded any pictures yet, I've finished one but I think I may toss it.
 Slippers- also half done, I'm sorry I'm so lazy with picture updates.
Chrysalis Cowl- I have yarn, but not yet started.
Finishes:
Wood Grain Scarf

Review

1. Grrlfriend Market Bag (I cant find the link to this, but luckily I downloaded the pattern.) 
This will be on hold for some time because I am out of bags.
2. Beaded Pulse Warmers  
I can't find the yarn or the needles (00)
3. Thorpe 
I don't have the needles for this either
4. Unisex Gloves 
I now have one of the sets of needles and new yarn
5. Wood Grain Scarf
I'm close to being finished!

Well... it's a scarf

Project: Wood Grain Scarf
And if you go to this link you will discover that there are no pictures because no one has made this yet. This is a good thing in my eyes, because if I mess it up, no one will know.
Needles: It doesn't really matter because it's a scarf and mercifully, gauge doesn't matter.
Yarn:

Progress: My computers been down so I haven't had the chance to upload any thing, but It's just stockinet stitch so you can imagine it. I already finished one of my 120 yard balls so I may be able to finish part one this week. Part two is a mystery yes to be reviled.
 PS Next week I will do a recap on all my projects so far.

Backwards Progress

Project: UniSex Gloves
Yarn: Purple tweed yarn from KnitPicks
Needles: They say 6 and 7 but I only have eight

As you can tell I'll be knitting slightly above gauge so I decided to knit the children's size and also make it a ribbed cuff. Uh oh, so many alterations cant to well. Read on.

So things are going okay and I decide to try it on for fit and things are looking big.

Way to big! I couldn't take a picture of it but I can fit two arms in there and maybe more. Sigh. So I gave up on that for now.

Other projects: Market Bag- I have ran out of Target  bags. We shop at target a lot so I didn't think it was possible but it is. Double Sigh.

Other News: My LYS is closing. Sob. Though this shall turn into a good news story, for they are having a mega sale. My mom bought some green yarn and a Mini Mochi (I'm so jealous.) and I bought some blue yarn for my next Year of Projects Project; Wood Grain scarf. 

PS Here's a YOP graphic I made, lets pretend like it's a "readers only" exclusive.

Plastic? Fantastic!

For my first project I'm going to make the Grrlfriend Market Bag.
Yarn: I have decided to up-cycle my own from shopping bags.

Needles: She uses so many, I'll just stick with my only reasonable sized double pointed needles and use 8.
Progress:

 As you may be able to see, there is a random row of purled stitches because I messed up but oh well.

Books

It goes without saying that I have made no progress on my projects, so I'll just tell you the books every thing comes from.
