Poppy

Outside we have a small bed of poppies and I wanted to  take a picture of one poppy everyday, from bud to death (?) and then finally figure out how to make a .gif on Photoshop.

(I'm not to sure about the order of those) Then I come out the next day and...

My and 4 other poppies are gone, I still don't know what happened.

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.

Candied Limes

They taste horrible.
