20 Week Update and Knitting!

Alright, time for another update!!!! First of all, we found out that Peanut is a Miss Peanut! Well, we’re 90% sure she’s a she! So in spirit with my BSG knitting group, her new nickname in the group is Sixlet.

Now, again, I ended up getting sick halfway through the month. So my knitting was stuck to the back burner. Ugh. But I did get a pair of PLAIN socks done for the RR #3 Gaetas Mutiny. The self striping yarn didn’t make for nice purling with the Vampire Boyfriend Socks.

I’m still working on Crystal’s Baby Blanket. I should be able to get that done by this weekend, if I actually work on it. Too bad it’s now Christmas time and I want to put up my Christmas decorations! And tonight is cleaning night because our new bed is being delivered tomorrow! I can’t WAIT!!!!!

I’m also hoping to get my Swap Partner’s Tea Pot Cozy done for this weekend to ship out no later than Saturday. I don’t see that being a problem, since I’m already half way done! Woohoooooo!!!!

I’ve also begun working on a Baby Bunny for Peanut. I’ve decided on a teddy bear theme AND baby animals. So I’m going to attempt to knit a bunch of stuffed animals for Peanut to play with.

We shall see how the next few days go with cleaning before I start up knitting like crazy again!

16 Weeks and a New Month of BSG FPB

Another month done, more projects are now finished. I wasn’t exactly motivated to knit this past month. The first half of the month I was working out my anniversary plans, and the second half I ended up with a horrible cold and fever! Blech!

There were only two things I knitted this month. One was a cute little baby Santa hat. Which I found out yesterday my friend I made the hat for, got her baby a store made one yesterday too!

SIGH!!!! And I made myself the Hermione Cable and Eyelet hat. It seems a bit big so I’m thinking of actually giving it to a friend for Christmas.

This month’s FPB has some frakking good ideas. I think I have my ideas for almost each room!!!

RR #1 Algae Planet:
For this project, I plan on using my Knit Picks Shine yarn for a mini bag for a friend of mine who requested one. She’s actually requesting two, but I think I still have one that she wants. But the second, she’s requested a button at the top, instead of the ribbon edging. So this one will have the plain button top.

RR #2 Chief Tyrol:
For this project, my friend, Crystal, has requested hats for her and her daughter, Hannah, in matching colors. I’ll be making two beanies of the Bernat Design Studio Ruffle Hat, minus the ruffle! It’ll be in the Peaches & Cream colorway. I’m very excited to cast on!

RR #3 Gaetas Mutiny:
For this project, I’ll be making My Vampire Boyfriend Socks, by Kate Atherley. The True Blood group is also doing this as a KAL, so I figured I could kill two birds with one stone. I’m using my Cylon colorway yarn. I’m super excited to start on these! Hopefully I can even get these done by November 25 when I go see New Moon with my friend Becky and her coworkers!

RR #4 The Opera House:
For this project, I plan on using the yarn Djinnij sent me in our September Swap. I’ll do another Swallowtail Shawl! Yay!!! But this will wait to be cast on until 11/15 most likely!

RR #5 FlashBack:
For this project, I NEED to finish my friend’s baby blanket for her daughter, Hannah. She was born at the end of March, and I’m still not done. I put it on hold while I worked on some other baby things for my girlfriend Jackie, and then when the first rounds of FPB came up. But now, it’s just ridiculous, and I HAVE to get this done. I have 20 repeats to complete, and I’m at 17 at the moment. So seriously, I should theoretically have this cranked out by Thanksgiving. I’ll give it to her at Christmas, along with the hats!!
