I got my hooks up!

I finished my first pair of fingerless gloves the other week and since then have received a few orders for a few of my friends. I am really excited about this.

This is more informational for my new "customers"
The gloves that I posted on facebook were made from this yarn:

It is called Denim Heather Mist. Those gloves were slightly larger for a co-worker, who had very large hands for a female. We actually call her, "Man Hands." So, if they look large, that is because they are.

Most of what I'll be making for everybody, unless specified otherwise. Is this kind of yarn.

Yes, Vanna White has her own yarn. She has so many colors and I love that. I have a pair of these in the Tangerine Mist color. I love how warm they are. However, they are not as soft as the Bernat Silk. So, keep that in mind when I'm making these.
I ask that each of you please measure your wrists for me. Please send me your measurements via e-mail or you can just reply to this post.

I know that somebody asked about making them a little longer. I can do that as well. I currently have a pattern to make them almost more an armwarmer style.

Here is what the original patern will look like on your hands:



I know somebody was debating between a gray and black. I love the Charcoal gray, it is a dark, smoky gray. Let me know as soon as you decide. I am working on an olive green pair right now and will start on the black pair for Melissa unless specified otherwise. So, I need addresses to send these to.

I also wanted to say thanks for requesting these. I enjoy doing this and hope you will like yours.

What about the dance floor?

This made me crack up while driving home from work. Gotta love XM radio. It may be old, but to me it's new.

I think I'm in need of a night out on the town.

I successfully made it through 2009. I typically don't do New Year's Resolutions, but I figured what the hell... I've slowly been thinking about what I want to change and try in the new year and have compiled a list of some stuff/junk/the new me:

1. Begin crocheting a blanket

2. Exercise at least 3 days a week- when possible

3. Try at least one new restaurant a month

4. Limit eating out to twice a week with Jamie and Hannah and only once a week for lunch

5. Limit sweets and soda

6. Eat vegan at least 3 times a week

7. Start a compost pile

8. Spend less time watching tv

9. Read at least 10 books this year- already finished one

10. Learn to sew, successfully and make four dresses for Hannah

11. Purchase

12. Attempt 1-2 family activities a month

13. Shop less

14. Save $$$

15. Continue to be positive regarding my job

16. Learn to knit

17. Blog more

That's it. There you have it. I don't think anybody even looks at this, due to my irregular posting. But, here is to 2010. Here is to a great year!
