Moving sucks

So I've declared myself on a new project hiatus. Which hurts. It hurts bad. BUT I am moving in 10 days, and I can't unpack the yarn. So I have been working on my brothers afghan (mainly because it's half done already, and it's T & Q, which means bulky as all hell. That and the Noni bag are all I am allowed to work on right now. Mainly because I want that bag done. I'm okay with not felting it until after we move, but I would like to get the knitting done. I would felt now, but unless I can get it done tomorrow, I doubt this thing is going to have time, it being so dadgum thick.

Moving is not fun. It makes me put away my knitting needles.

Ugly Bath Mat

In an effort to use the massive amounts of ugly cotton yarn I had laying around, I made a bath mat, one which I find hideous. But it's a bathmat, and the Boy liked it, and he hates it when I frog things, so I left it alone. Besides, the cats just going to pee on it soon anyway. I might type up the pattern soon, for posterity sake, I might try it again, but knit it, and use prettier colors. But here are pictures anyway.

So I finally finished the crayon blankie for Wendy/Noah. For the most part I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Made a note of all the changes on Ravelry (for which my name is YarnHussy, btw). Embroidering on those letters was a bitch I must say. But the recipient at least pretended to like it, so it was worth it. Now I want to play around with the idea. I am thinking about making a felted version as a bag, maybe a laptop case. But I am forbidding myself to buy yarn until after we've moved. We'll see how my resolve holds up.
