My sister demands pictures and well, what else could I do but supply them, which meant finishing this little critter here. Ok but wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
Like I said, I've been all up ons the mochimochiland little projects... anything that I can accomplish in a day makes me feel better about the universe.

So The first I made was the misshapen multicolored heart. The shape was as much a product of that yarn as it was my way fabulous knitting skills coping with a new way to increase and decrease stitches I had never tried. Then came the Blade of Grass. He's a bit more minty green than you can tell in this picture. So much fun to make this, I have no idea why. But then... I went awry.
It's not like I have to follow recipes to the T or anything, but I lack confidence and skill to depart from most crafty patterns. But that's what I did. That orange guy there? He was a heart. He became the Deviant Beet. I even deviated from my sister's suggestion for the leaves! Craziness! And then, to make matters worse, I made Purple Robot there
without a pattern at all. What am I turning into?

Well, apparently, someone who knits plastic bags. Eventually this will become the welcome mat that can be stolen without heartbreak. For now, I'm still odd.
Just wait, someone asked me to make them a beanie this week.

I love them!
The beet looks like some kind of weird KoL monster...
That mat is awesome. I remember you telling me about that. I don't know why I am surprised that you actually did it!
Okay, I had weird dreams about that damn plastic bag mat all night long, ending with you & I taking a surprise road trip to visit Julia (yes, you, Julia. Not my daughter :)) because she is the one that was in need of a welcome mat. Then this guy I used to have a thing for when I was in college was there. It was one of those dreams where you wake up saying "huh?"
Anyway...I must have an update on the plastic bag project. It's haunting me!
Ha! Well, since you've been teaching yourself how to knit, maybe I'll just have to show you how to make an i-cord so you can start knitting your own plastic bags... whee fun!
