Short post, more to come, I promise!

So, today's post will be short, and lack pictures and anything really fun...sigh

After a busy weekend, including a day trip to Maine with my sister and then a rush of activity yesterday...I am lacking pictures of my most recent endeavors, and also missing pictures I took since my sister and I switched camera memory cards on Friday cause hers was full, and her camera is nicer than mine so she was in charge of documenting our adventure. That said, my memory card, with a few pics of my latest V-day get up (completely revamped from what I last posted) is about 100 miles away, at the mercy of my sister.

And yes, the question is asked "Why don't I take new pictures?" well the answer is simple, my camera is sucktastic and the only decent pictures I get happen when I have natural lighting...and now it is night time, and therefore only crap pictures can be taken (I hate using flash, it washes out all my colors...)

So, there you have it, no pictures. But here are the updates on my projects.

February Beret: I cam SO close to finishing it and ran out of yarn. Luckily the yarn company it came from is still in booming business, I just need to wait for the opportunity for access to a car to arise...

Envelope Afghan: Not much more work, , maybe a row...yeah just a row, the needles I am using for it are really awful cheap circulars and the tips are extremely blunt, so they're difficult to use without getting annoyed.

Rose-Leaf Lace Glovelets: I have finished the second glove and only have to do a bit more weaving in of the ends before they are good to go! If anyone is actually reading this keep and eye out for them in my etsy shop!

V-day Get-up: After finishing the top I have come to the conclusion that I made it too small, not that my boobs are just too big for anything without a wire...So I dropped it and found a new pattern on Threadbangers for a bikini top, might not still be the best for my situation, but I think it will give better support and coverage than the knitty pattern. I also switched out the yarn for a doubled combo of some silky black yarn made from Merino wool and acrylic something or other...and this random, thin, kind of fuzzy pink/white gradient yarn I got from my ex-boyfriends mother who used to crochet everything. The ball of it is MASSIVE (one of the pictures on my vagabond memory card) and I've been looking for a use for it for 3 + yrs...

The END!
