Knitting Project Complete

Posted by Nat on May 14, 2012 | 1 comment

I’m so glad that I finished this cowl… just in time for June.  (Read that with as much sarcasm as you can stand.)

I don’t know what the deal is with me and knitting projects lately, but it takes me f.o.r.e.v.e.r to complete them.  This one will have to get tucked away into my closet and come out in the fall because I know I won’t need it this summer.  But I still LOVE how it turned out.  I first saw this on Pinterest, and sourced it to Jen Geigley’s blog, Hey! Jen Renee.  Jen so nicely posted here about seeing this cowl at The Gap and she just made her own version (without a seam, to boot).  I used the exact same yarn, just a different color.  I’m really into gray.  Grey.  However you spell it.

I did run out of steam at the end, so mine is not the full width it should be, but it’s still plenty thick.   And I LOVE the seed stitch- I’ve never done it before.  I do worry that with my next project my brain is going to get confused with when to purl and when to knit, but I’m sure I’ll get back on track.

So that you can see it in action, I even made you a video so you can see how it looks on….with my summer tanktop and all.

Thanks for such a great pattern, Jen!

VLOG! Chronically Distracted & the Happiness Project Update

Posted by Nat on Mar 29, 2012 | 1 comment

Helloooo there to all of my friends participating in the Happiness Project!  I am so thankful to these two ladies, Meagan and Wendy, for having such a fabulous blog.  They are awesome.

Check out my video.  It’s a bit long, but I think I make some good points.  And you can also see how my brain works because I birdwalk juuuuuust a wee bit.  That’s okay.  It’s all good.  🙂

For some reason the sound is better than the video- my lips don’t seem to keep up.  Oh well.

Can’t wait to link up and see what others post!

Happiness Project Linkup: VLOG!

Posted by Nat on Feb 23, 2012 | 3 comments

Hi everyone!

I am pleased to give you my first VLOG!  I’m linking up again with Chronically Distracted and their Happiness Project.

I already know that I need to make myself a HUGE sign that says, “Don’t Say UM!”  I also realized that I didn’t talk too much about vitality, but that’s okay- I’ve always had a problem following directions. 🙂

I’m also learning the ways of uploading a video onto my blog.  I would love to hear how you do it, if you’ve done a vlog before. This one I did by uploading to YouTube and then embedding it into the post.  Is that right?

Can’t wait to link up and see what everyone else says!
