That's a wrap x2

I don't have pics right now but I'll post them later, promise. I have totally finished E's hat. I even made the pom pom. I didn't use the basic method with the cardboard that I saw everywhere. I found one blogger who said you don't need the cardboard, just use your hand to wrap the yarn around so that's what I did. I'm too busy and carefree to be tracing circles on cardboard with a compass....no sir, not for me! This method worked fine, I also learned that last time when I thought I did something wrong, I didn't..I just hadn't tied the string around the middle tight enough and then didn't bother trimming it because it looked like tiny pieces of yarn with a tie around the middle. I didn't realize that I had to really tighten the yarn to make them start to poof out. So mission accomplished on the hat. Good thing because we are heading over tonight to watch the game in high def. Originally, the plan was for some hanging outedness on Saturday but lucky Mr. M has been offered a ticket to the game should the Sox make it past tonight.

I have also completed My So Called Scarf. It's just the perfect length. 2/3 of the way through I was questioning whether I would have some left over yarn but I needed everything I had.

Now, as I've said before, I'm focusing my energy on the blanket...this time I mean it!

I'm still waiting for word on R's bebe....crossing my fingers for a girl!
