I haven’t been anywhere, I just haven’t been knitting/crocheting and posting like I should! The summer really makes me useless – it’s HOT here and when I get home in the evenings all I want to do is sit and stare at the wall. Couple that with all of the things that I SHOULD be doing, and I get nothing accomplished!

But I did manage to turn out a FO this weekend:

Kate the Cat from knitty! I am not 100% pleased with this at all, due to my yarn/needle combination and my still crappy embroidery skills. (I really need some more practice!) But I think that this turned out Ok, despite the obvious flaws. I used Lion Brand Cotton Ease, and while my fabric is way too stretchy, I really like the colors. (Almond, Berry, Lake and Lime) I used size 7 needles and really, should have used 5s. This was so hard to stuff! The face is really so stretched out, and that makes me sad.

This will be my last amigurumi for a while, unless they are to give away (which incidentally this one IS). I am really going to try and get some yarn used up since I will be moving in with J at the end of next month. I found a few afghan patterns I’d like to try, but first things first, I am going to attempt to finish up some projects that are ongoing and NEVER ENDING.
