where does the time go?

EDITED TO ADD NEW PHOTOS OF FINISHED HAT


the yarn is SIRDAR COUNTRY STYLE double knitting yarn.... its really soft.. the "drape" is nice... and the stitch definition is great.... im pretty stoked to have this hat... i love the color of green... the pattern used is.... FELICITY
but i did change up the pattern... it called for worsted weight and i used a yarn thats a little under that so i just added on 10 stitches (on 1 size smaller needle then called for, both sizes) and i think i added one more set of increases as well... and i think i did a few extra rows in between incs and decs.... but, the basic idea was from the pattern...
and back to original post...

well, im not really sure what happened to January and February is zooooooming by.... i figured i should post something.... at the end of january i went back home for 24 hours.. i had some visits with friends and i also sold my car.... its gone... done like dinna... im sad to see it go, but stoked to not have to pay for it..

this is little baby Echo wearing my hat... he just turned one a few days before my visit... hes such a little doll... i cried when i left ... hes all walking now and its so cute... it makes me sad that i miss it...

This is me with my car i was giving it a hug goodbye....
and this is mike humping his new car.... i sold my car to my ex.... so its ok.. i will still get to see her and im sure i can get rides in her when im near...
i still havent photographed any of the knitting i have been doing for this craftster swap i am in... soon... im almost done the sweater for my friend john... need to finish up the hem on the one sleeve, knit the other sleeve and then the hood.... the other sleeve will go pretty quickly since i wont have to keep getting him to try it on to make sure the fit is good...
im also currently knitting a slouchy hat for me.... its the "felicity" hat... im hoping it turns out ok and looks good on my head cause the yarn is nice and a great color... hmmmm nothing else new really... except the fact that im going to JAMAICA on saturday!!!!! yeah... when did that sneak up on me?!?!?! i can hardly even believe it... so anyways... i should go. i want to sew a bag for taking to the beach.... wow... beach.. hot sun... sand.... shit yeah...

spiral.... out.

Jamaica? OMG.. I'm so jealous! I would probably spend a fortune on beads/jewelry & fabrics -- and food! OMG.. I love Jamaican food.. especially spicy chicken patties. Yum. Have a great trip!
