I am so embarrassed to show you this.  I look like snowman or something.  The button band pulling is bad sewing not my fat. It did kind of work out because of the "polar vortex" or whatever they called it (where our temperatures were colder than Alaska's) a blanked you can wear came in handy. The picture I posed yesterday was one of some little granny square butterflies I made for my daughter.  You make a little granny square and tie the middle with some yarn or a pipe cleaner. I put clips on the back so she could wear them in her hair but you could put magnets or googly eyes or what ever.

Apparently Internet Explorer and Blogger are not getting along.  I can post pictures as long as use Chrome.  So now I have IE and Chrome on my computer and every time I want to do  search it says "do you want this to be your default?" It's like your kids saying "mommy do you love me best?"  Really when I click on you I want to use you if I don't I don't get over it.

I've been working hard on the ice cream pillow.  I have five of the six scoops I need.  I also bought a pattern an yarn to make my husband a sweater.  It has cables I haven't done cables before (but I understand the concept).  It is worked flat and seamed and that seems illogical to me.  I want to make it in the round but as you can see it was disaster last time I tried to modify a pattern.  I'll probably do it the way the instructions say and grumble in my head the whole time.

I listened to a bunch of podcasts and watched some Running Man.  Yesterday was supposed to be a WOW day but I was feeling "bla" so I'll do that today.  I think that's all I have to say but now that I know I can post with Chrome I will try to get back on schedule.

Here's the sweater.  I'll get a picture of me wearing it sometime though I'm a little embarrassed. The buttons are a bright green.  I am going to add making this sweater again to my list of things to make.  Maybe I'll make it in green then I can use the same buttons.

I got 1000 views!  Thank you so much.  I know not everyone stays to look but it's fun any way.

Mostly I'm just trying to finish the scarf I stated last Saturday so I can enter it for NerdWars.  It ends tonight at 11:00 p.m. my time so I have to finish it, take a picture and write it up before then.  I keep changing my mind on how long it should be.  I still have a few hours. 

Other than that nothing interesting is happening around here.  Just trying to get back on a regular schedule.  The kids have one more week off school and my family Christmas has been moved till next week. I'm trying to figure out if my brother will want an alpaca hat.  If he does that's what I'm saving up for next (alpaca is expensive). 

That's it I'll talk to you next week.
