So, this project only took one month shy of a year to complete (granted I put it aside numerous times when I messed up and had to tear back rows. However, it is finally finished and in time for Halloween. I am so glad I picked up the floofball to put on the top, I just love it, and so do the cats.
This is a blog I created to post my creative projects. I write as well as do fine and graphic art and crafts. Enjoy.

Current (active) Works in Progress
To be honest, I have nine projects started, but I am only focusing on the following three so I can start a Tree of Life baby blanket. So, the first project, which has been going for a while and I cannot wait until it is done, is my Portucula Cardigan. This has been a true test of my patience and ability, and once it is done, I have a feeling it will be a long time before I start the grey one.
One of the aspects I found interesting was that you attach the arms and continue to work the sweater. It has been interesting as I have never made a sweater before, and of course, I start with the one that is intricate. One change I intend to make is the length. I would like it to be longer in the waist. I hope when I block it, it will be a bit longer, this was based on the measurements in the pattern.
The next project I am hoping to get done soon is my Halloween cat hat. This was my first attempt at knitting in color works so it has been a learning experience. I have reached the decrease rows at the top, so hopefully, I will get it done before the end of the month. I even found the most adorable floofy to go on top when it is complete. Yay!
The last project is one I started at the end of winter last year, I picked up some fine, lace weight, yarn on clearance and found the prettiest shawl pattern to work it in. This project is crochet, and I am enjoying the way the pattern is coming out.
