I just realized, I have lots of projects on here that need photos. I'm hoping that we have at least a semi-decent weekend weather wise (meaning sunny, no rain, no wetness) cause I have plans to take pictures of the FOs that I've said "I'll have pictures soon" in the postings.
So that means, hopefully, this weekend I'll be able to put up pictures for:
-The Fugly Granny
-Mukluk style Slippers
-Jammer hat
And, I'll have to take pictures of the following FOs which have yet to debut on here:
-"I Wanna Be A Ninja" Cowl
-"Busty's Hopelessly Long" Skinny Scarf
Also, we have another tentative Stitch N Bitch planned for Thursday. My desire is to bring my camera so that I can take pictures of anyone while knitting. So far it's just going to be Wolfe, Bone and myself. Small, but intimate :)

In a strange turn of events, I've finally finished my Fugly Granny Square blanket. I finished it earlier than intended, because I had 3 more skeins of yarn I wanted to add to it, but I felt that it really was just big enough. blankets of yarn don't need to be HUGE and, besides, it's much easier to drag it around the house with me as it is :D
That's all for now. A quick, short and to the point post.

So I Clearly Lack Time Management Skills
At least in the department of THIS blog, anyways.
I haven't been doing terribly much knitting or crocheting lately. I've been so wrapped up in school and work. Any free time that I have is devoted to homework or sleeping. Or driving to and from work and school.
I decided to sit down and start work on some new projects and an old project tonight because, well, the weather is getting colder and we had a fire going and it seemed like a perfect time to drape the fugly Granny square blanket across my lap and get to work on finishing it. It won't be finished until for a while yet though. I have one more skein of black soft boucle and then a red soft boucle and a skein of red Jiffy to throw into it before it is finally complete.
I also decided to start myself on a new scarf. I really don't have many scarves and I felt like putting some of the fun hand spun yarn that was gifted to me into that project (sadly, a lot of the gifted yarn was re-gifted and donated to charity when I moved back in june). So I decided to make myself what I am dubbing the OCD scarf. I'm not sure why, but I had my age in mind when I picked the yarn from my bin. I picked two hand spun purple yarns and a hand spun blue. In my mind, these screamed out the number 26. So I cast on 26 stitches and am going to (hopefully) wind up with a scarf that has stripes that are 26 rows thick and repeat 26 times. I say hopefully because I'm not 100% on how much yardage is in each ball I have. I'm not going completely batshit OCD with this, though, I have no prayer of trying to make it 26 inches long so I'm not even going to try that. I could, if I wanted to sit down and gauge it and work out the calculations but Busty + math ≠ friends.
I've also started plotting out a few xmas gifts that I can whip up for people. This year I am NOT NOT NOT making gifts for everyone. I am merely going to make gifts for a few people. Easy gifts that won't result in me sitting in a pile of yarn pulling my hair out in frustration.
I'm going to make a brimmed hat for the Giant Boy (Bone's son) and either a hat and scarf set for Bone or a little messenger bag, I'm not sure yet. But either way, it's gunna end up with a bone motif on it.
