Wow what a week! Work is kicking my butt and I either have a cold or I have allergies but I can't really tell which, and it seems to have affected my knitting. Knitting was a disaster every time I tried it this week which was frustrating because I wanted to continue on my FO rampage which has been going so well.

First I spotted a hole in my Nashua Bloom Yoke Leaf Cardi. It was due to a double increase that got stretched out. I did do some surgery on it and managed to drop the stitch and redo it so it wasn't as bad of a hole. Then I attempted to knit the paw tips on the Huggable Hedgehog but that went awful. I plan on bringing it to the Barbra Walker seminar on Saturday and if Claudia has time maybe she can show me the best way to seam those little guys up and not have them be awkward. I think my knitting went so badly more because I felt ill and tired, and I probably shouldn't have been knitting but well you would think the knitting would relax me!! So last night out of frustration I cast on for another project which I have been wanting to knit, which is a Rowan cardigan with a *gasp* crochet edge. Also in the photo it looks like it's knit in one piece but apparently it's not and I don't see how it looks how it looks but I'm going to stop stressing and just knit it and hope it comes out right! I always over-think my knits.

I also wanted to start the pumpkin hat this week and cascade 220 calls for size 7US needles and I felt it was too loose and I didn't have 16" size 6 that I could find. So today I ran out during lunch and stocked up on a few extra needles. I also got a pair for tomorrow’s class as I believe we will swatch a bunch. I ordered a cool vintage copy of Barbra Walker Mosaic knitting book from 1976 and read up on how Mosaic knitting is accomplished. I tend to do better in one on one teaching sessions and this is a big class so I figured it couldn't hurt to read up on it and get prepared. I'm excited to try this method out! So yeah, I'm whiney because I didn't get any knitting accomplished all week except fixing the hole in that one cardi.

At work yesterday they threw a really fun shower for me and my other pregnant co-worker. I must have eaten 6 chocolate covered strawberries.

I also brought my pink uggs to show off and I thought they matched these little cakes they had;

I only ate pink ones, heh!
