Here is the totoro so far, he's a big boy.  I haven't made any more progress on him.  I have more yarn but I think I'll take a break foe a while.  Even though I have projects to do I kind of started another one.  A while ago I made a shawl with some recycled sari silk.  It got a hole in it from one of the knots coming undone. I ripped it out and made a big granny square blanket out of it.  It's not actually finished because I ran out of yarn.  I need  a little more for the border so I'll order that soon.  It only took me bout three days or so.  I'm going to be going back to the fingerless mitts, maybe I can finish them soon.  Fingerless mitts, totoro and a hat, that's the plan. We'll see how it goes.

I haven't been doing much with k-drama or podcasts, I have been watching some U.S. TV since my husband has been home. I'm getting back to my podcasts but I'm way behind on all of them and my k-dramas.  I'll let you know know if I run into anything interesting.

At the end I'll put a picture of my daughter's nails that we did before valentine's Day.  We used the water marbling method.  It wan't hard to do but it was kind om messy.  We have been looking at lots of nail art and have some interesting ideas.  I'll put up some pictures if any of our ideas turn out well. I think that's it.  I know I've been skipping days, I'll try and do it more regularly.  See you next time.

Ok here is the finished hat.  I really need to get a picture of my husband actually wearing it. I really think it needs something on the end but my husband doesn't want it.  My daughter tried to steal it already. The pattern is free on Ravelry. I finished one fingerless mitt and I started the next one.  I got the totoro body finished as well.  The totoro ate yarn like crazy and is really heavy.  I stuffed it with old yarn some of it was older than my daughter.  It has inspired me to clean out my yarn especially the old acrylic. Right now the yarn is a big mess but I'll get it taken care of.  The next projects are a new hat for my niece, a new little fox that is better, and then I'll see about digging out my socks so I can finish them.

On Monday my husband was home so I watched some U.S. TV with him.  Other than that I have finished Knitting Pipeline and am working on Dramatic Knits.  I should be able to finish that up today and be able to move on to Knit 1 Heart Too.  I'm so behind on my K-drama as well but it just means I won't be bored for a while.

It's probably been around a while but my daughter and I have been watching videos about how to do a  marble effect on your nails and we want to try it.  If it turns out well I'll show you.  We are excited to try it and are getting some supplies tonight.  It should be a fun adventure.  I think that's it, I'll talk to you next time.
