I finished the Hitchhiker but it's not easy to take a picture of.  I ran out of the sari silk on the bind off, so I used a little but of some hand spun from a long time ago.  It's black but it's only about eight inches so it's not too noticeable. I'm going to try and enter the Hitchhiker in Nerd Wars and Nerdopolis.  I'm still not sure how to take a picture of the blanket but I have an idea I'll try.  Other than that I'm working on charity knitting.

I tried some nail art and I think it turned out o.k. but not great.  Making flowers is harder than it looks. I've also been stalking a Ravelry group that is dedicated to nail polish so I'll probably join that group.  I'll leave the picture at the end for you.  I think that's it.  I'll try and post again soon.

I have not been feeling myself this week.  Between getting a crick in my neck, sinus headaches, and running around like crazy I haven't been really crafting at all.  It still aches a little just to type.  It may be time for more decongestant.  Hopefully this week I'll feel better and can get back on my regular schedule.  This may not be a long post since it's making me tired.

This picture at the top is the finished fingerless mitts modeled by my daughter.  They look loose and bulky on her but they fit me well and do the job I wanted.  I really haven't done much of anything else but I did contact someone about more yarn for the sari silk blanket.  I caught up on The Fat Squirrel Speaks and Joeli's Kitchen.  I'm so behind on everything.  My daughter and I have still been doing some nail art but not everything comes out well.  The picture at the end is my attempt to copy a design by Sarabeautycorner on YouTube.  The white cat turned out well but the black cat did not.

I think that's it.  I don't feel the best so I think that is messing with my brain.  I'll try to writ again soon.

Here is the first fingerless mitt.  I finished the pair but I haven't taken a picture yet.  I wove in the ends and have them waiting for  a soak with a bunch of other hand knits.  Since I got my U.S. size 2 back I put that in the red and black striped socks and got the size 1 out.  I don't really like the colors of this yarn so even though there is a lot left I added it to the blanket square.  Since I have two size 1 needles I started on some socks for my daughter, with the pink yarn from her fingerless mitts) from the inside and the outside of the yarn cake.  Not like I need another project.  The other thing I may cast on soon are some knit boobs.  One of the girls in my K-drama group recently had a double mastectomy and said that knit ones would be good so I think a few of us are planning to knit her some.  I want to wait and find out what yarn she wants to use first since that is a very sensative area.  I'll let you know how it goes if I make them.

I caught up on Knit One Heart Too and Knitting in Circles, I'm working on The Fat Squirrel Speaks,  I'm not doing to much else in the way of watching or listening.  I have been watching some nail art videos and have some good ideas but that's about it.  I tried something on my daughter's nails and it turned out o.k. Drawing with nail polish was harder than I thought it would be but attaching the jewels was way easier.  If any designs turn out well I'll show them to you.

I think that's it, not much going on in my life right now.  I don't think that a bad thing.  Oh I remember now I was (am) upset that I misplaced a crochet magazine.  I don't use them much anymore but I was saving it for the article and I can't find it.  I was going to show it to a teacher but now I'll have to just explain it.  Oh well that is a first world problem so I guess my life isn't that bad.  See you next time.
