Well at least my knitting skills are improving, in 2 days I have managed to not only knit up to the point that the cats dismantled but, I have passed it!  Yes I am happy :)

Ok so I am ready to scream!  I came home today to find out that all the hard work I had done on my wolf double knitting project was destroyed by one or all of my wonderful cats.  I have probably restarted the damn thing 5 times and here we go again.  UGGGG!

Here I go again :(  I had to unravel all the knitting I did because there were too many mistakes for me to handle. One or two is ok but I had more.  Oh well I will keep trying I guess it serves me right for knitting while watching the almighty johnsons lol.

So I am finally making headway with my wolf double knitting piece.  I had to pull it apart a few times because of mistakes but I did 4 rows perfectly so I am proud.  I was really worried about it because it did seem so hard and complicated but when I finally decided to slow down and talk my way through it (yes, I actually started talking lol) I finally figured it out. Not to mention I am kind of a perfectionist so I had to pull it apart until it looked good. :)

I have decided to attempt double knitting. Yes I say this matter of fact because to me it is a statement of achievement. lol.  I only learned how to knit recently and all of this is very exciting and I want to make sure that I continue with it.  Has anyone out there tried double knitting and what do you think?  I also think that I should make better use of my time and finances so I have been looking up ways to make different things. Food stuff like peanut butter (which is amazingly easy) and regular butter.  Since I already bake my own bread I thought I would give these others a try :)

Gabriel's curtains

So here are the photos of my son's curtains I absolutely love them.  They were so easy and ordering fabric from the states was not nearly the pain in the ass I thought it might be. :)  Here, I just used a basic 1/4 hem on the sides, 4 inch on the top, and 2 inches on the bottom.
