FO and weekend shopping spree.

I finished my wrister warmers from Last Minute Knitted Gifts last week. They were pretty easy and quick to knit, but I don't know how much I'll wear them since it's too cold out there right now.
I stopped by LK Yarns on friday and picked up a bunch of sale yarn, as if I needed more yarn. I do have plans for all of it though. The Patons Katrina will be used to make a couple shrugs, that multi-coloured stuff in the bottom right will make a nice lacey scarf and the purple cotton in the left will make booties and a hat if my sister has a baby girl. If she has a boy, I will have to rethink it. As you can tell, I am hoping for a girl.

The yarn wasn't the last of my weekend shopping. I also went to Simmons and ordered a new bed. After sleeping on a 30 year old mattress (clealy a hand-me-down) I figured it was time to upgrade. Now if bowling balls were to drop on my bed beside me, I can sleep undisturbed.

What a fun website! After seeing this I decided to try out this nifty site for myself. This is my sister's dog Winston. Not really sure what look he was going for here.

My First Sweater!

I finally finished my first sweater! It's the Lady of the Lake from Fleece Artist. I think it turned out okay for my first attempt. I tried to take a picture of myself with it on, but that didn't work out so well, hopefully I will have a good shot of it soon...If you look closely you can see how desperately my carpet needs to be vacuumed...
