Valentines', Lazy Kitty, and Secret Pal Package

My Valentines' Day was wonderful, and I hope yours was, too! DJ and I went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner (and desert... Hehe.) Then we went to the movies. We saw Fool's Gold. It was sooo funny!! My favorite part of the whole movie, hands down, is when Tess hits Finn in the head with an old man's cane. He says, "You're not really gonna hit me..." WHACK! Hehe.

Lazy Matty:














In other news, I got a package from my Secret Pal today! She is too awesome!

Shrug This and Happy Valentines' Day!

I finished this on the night of the 12/ morning of the 13... At about 2 am. Yeah, stayed up pretty late. Oh well. I think it was worth it, because I got to wear it to school! ^_^

Presenting... Shrug This:


Pattern: Shrug This from One Skein Wonders
Yarn: Lion Brand Jiffy (about 168 yards, or just over one ball)
Needles: US 11
Knit for: Moi!
Notes: The finished product was REALLY short, so I ripped it back a bit and added a few more inches of St stitch, then did the three rows of ribbing. Overall, I am happy with it. I do think this yarn is maybe a bit fuzzy for this project, but it's alright. I also went up to a size 11 rather than a 10.5 because my gauge was a bit off with the 10.5. I will be making a few more of these for myself, I think, and at least one for a friend.

Also, I joined a new group on Ravelry called Chunky Monkey. It is for knitters that like to use big yarn and big needles. They are doing a Knit Along in March for the Kangaroo Tunic. It is pretty cute, so I am going to be participating. The only drawback is that I think I am going to have trouble finding size 19 circular needles... Hmm...
