Ugh, I'm having knitting ADD today. I have a few projects going: a zombie monster, a scrappy wrap/blanket, and a pair of socks. I'm just having trouble sticking to a project I actually want to be knitting right now.
Yesterday, I bought some really nice, yummy cotton with a little bit of elastic in it, and made a spring beret. It's a really nice. I love the yarn. It's Crystal Palace Yarns Cotton Twist, in colors Cornsilk and Ketchup. I wanted to make a hat I could wear in the summer, since my head gets really hot in the sunlight.
But I finished the hat this morning, and since then, I haven't been able to decide what kind of new project to start. Tried knitting the pair of socks, but they are going to be too big, and I don't feel like continuing, since I don't know anyone they would fit, or least anyone I would want to give them to. This is why I don't knit with Opal. I don't feel like working on the scrap blanket, because I have to pick up stitches for that, and I don't want to do fiddly little knitting, which is also why I don't want to work on the zombie.
I do have a lot of yarn, but most of it needs to be skeined up. I don't want to do that either. Ugh.

Squiggy
I finished writing a monster pattern today, Squiggy the Squiggle Monster. I knit a lot of monsters, for me, my family, and to give away, and I decided to make up my own pattern. I've written patterns in the past, and improvised my own designs, but I've never decided to release a pattern for other people's use before. I'm excited that I will be releasing Squiggy as a free knitting pattern soon. I've written the pattern and made the first Squiggy, and now it's in test mode. So excited! I hope to give away some Squiggies very soon. In the meantime, here is a picture of Squiggy:
Hopefully, the pattern for Squiggy will be released in the next month or so.

Monster Spring Break
While I was on spring break, I finished a lot of monsters. The first was one was Angus, for my nephew's fifth birthday. He was so excited to get him!! And he calls him Angust, which I think is pretty funny.
After that, I worked on Ganni's Baldwin, at my nephew's suggestion. Ganni's Baldwin is for my mom, just because she likes monsters.
Finally, I finished Charlie for my friend.
I'm also working on my own monster pattern, which I hope to have test-knitted soon. I'm calling him Squiggy, and he's totally adorable.
