Woot! Created my first Ravelry free download at the following link.

Candy Corn Mittens

Of course I goofed it up and double listed it, so they are working on merging it all together for me. ::blush::

So very excited! Yes, I know you are asking why I need mittens in Florida... we all do I say!!!

Pieces of Flair!

I know know know know you have seen that movie 'Office Space' where Jennifer Aniston has a roll of the upcoming girlfriend to the main actor, but in the movie she is a waitress at like a TGI Friday sort of restaurant. In it she has to wear 'flair' aka buttons with funny sayings on them or pictures.

Well Facebook has a similar premise. YOU can create and share flair with your friends. Pass it on, save it, create 'Flair Albums' on your homepage, etc. The uses are boundless.... and yes, I have fallen again and started to create flair myself. ::facepalm::

So drop me a note and I shall send you some FLAIR on Facebook too!

I win!

Yes, I was able to pick up Pink Lightning Gothic Fairy from Jasmine today! It is absolutely gorgeous!!! I was able to attend the free Celebration Art Festival here in Central Florida where I was able to visit with Jasmine and Matt and even meet another devoted Jasmine Art fan. I have my Pink Lightning home, hung and looking gorgeous.

Unfortunately the hubby was not well and could not attendthe festival with me. While it was a clear day, it was a bit too warm for me, if he had come he would have been burning up and it would not have as enjoyable for him. Also, since he was not with me, I pretty much directly went to Jasmine's booth and chatted with them for a bit. On the way out, I did grab some Paella from the Columbia Restaurant and some freshly squeezed Lemonaid.

Pillarwork Cowl

My latest knitting has proven to be a work in progress.  Many times I have had to double check myself, as the pattern is so easy I would forget to stay in rhythm and not remember where I was.  ::blush::

I really need to make notes as well!  At one time I forgot how many stitches I cast on and had to recount them a few times.  ::double blush::  How am I to tell you how I did it, if I don't take notes???  

I have written to Ravelry and requested a 'designer' sort of account.  It's nothing super special really, mainly a way for me to post free patterns to the database.  ::nod::  Or at least I am telling myself its not too overly special, because I see such intricate and inspired designs out there and I am no where near their calibur... YET!  ::wink::  

So I will chug away and keep creating easy and fun patterns.
