Wasting Time - Pinterest

I got sucked in again. I don't go on Pinterest very often, but when I do, the time warp is ridiculous. All of a sudden, it's 2 hours later and my eyes are dry from not blinking.
So, to feel as though I didn't waste all my time, I'm sharing with you some pins that I thought were interesting, cute and some, even useful.

Have a peek but don't. get. sucked. in.!

1. Some family fun
2. These look fun, though a little time consuming.
3. So sweet
4. Simply amazing! I need to learn how to crochet.
5. And these are just adorable.

Falling Off My Needles - Slouch Hat

Slouch hats are all the rage now, aren't they? It seems anyone can wear them. Hipsters especially seem to like them.

The white one I'm wearing with Lady Gaga in the background was for my son's former daycare provider. She knows I wore it before giving it to her. It was so warm and smooshy and lovely. And yes, the Gaga concert was AMAZING! That woman knows how to put on a show.

The Blue one is one of the projects that I mentioned here. The Cashmerino is a bit 'looser' (I'm sure there's an appropriate knitting term here, my brain just isn't finding it) so it has more slouch than the white one but it will do. If I make another one, I think I'd choose the Diamond Luxury Collection again.

Plans For Knits

Oh. My. Goodness. Our local yarn store had their 3rd anniversary sale this past Saturday and I went prepared with my list of knitting potential.

Here's what I got.

1. Some Tanis Fiber Arts Green Label for these beauties. I had to cast on these mitts because I'm still a little upset that the Fiddleheads didn't fit. These are looking quite slim but when I try them on, they do stretch. I should probably have swatched these first, and perhaps maybe gone up half a needle size. Next time?

2. Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in Navy for this hat.

3. Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in black for Eric's Valentine's gift. Here's a picture of it. Ignore the creepy head. (good thing my hubby doesn't read my blog!)

4. And some Diamond Luxury Fine Merino Superwash for these lovelies.

Surprisingly there are no projects in here for the kids. I typically like knitting for the smalls since their projects are usually fast and size forgiving.

What is on your needles?
