I'm Still Here...

Barely; I feel like, sometimes... lol I just recently got my Rat Race Scarf kit in the mail (WOW that was the fastest I have ever gotten a package, I think!) I started one yesterday. (Not with the yarn in the kit though.) This is Red Heart, and it is 'turqua'. It looks light blue to me in the picture. I thought I knew all there was to know about knitting (well except garterlac and intarsia! Which... I don't know if I will ever get intarsia...) But anyway I was completely stumped here as to how to join the new rat to the old rat. ;) I asked online and got the answer. I tend to overcomplicate knitting for myself, I guess. It was actually very simple. (It didn't sound simple though...) So anyway this is what I have so far. Actually, I am on rat #3, so I am farther.
And here is love bug #3 that I have finished. I did it in variegated like Chrisdfriend made hers. I think it is really cute.
Progress on my Central Park Hoodie. I'm actually farther than this, too. I completely missed a cable~ RIGHT where I did the armhole decrease. I got done with them and thought, whew, now I just knit straight... AAAAARGGGHHH!!! If you heard screaming like a pirate a few days ago, it was probably me. ;P (I didn't actually scream at all, folks.) I was SOOOO disgusted though, I put it away and didn't work on it for a while. But then I picked it up and said "I have to fix this or it will bug me to no end..." So I did. Now I am back to where I was, and more. Almost done with the back. I'll post a picture when it is done. :D
And last but not least, here is my first square for the Square A Month Swap from Crochet Mania. I think my month isn't even until May. This is from JazzRizz. Thank you, JazzRizz~ I love it. (It's the Bobby Square.) I have made many of these myself and love this pattern. In fact I was thinking about making this same square for someone else in the swap, myself. And thank you for the card, too. I love getting 'mail'. The butterfly is so pretty.
Guess what?.... :D I finally got in to Ravelry! WOOOO HOOOO! I am slowly (and I do mean slow) getting to find my way around. I need to set up a Flickr account. Which I may or may not have already done, knowing me... Well have a nice week everyone.

The rat race scarf looks cute and realistic esp. with bead eyes! I won't have it around my neck, though...
Your knitted cardigan is looking good so far...keep it up!

lol I don't think I would want it around my neck, either. ;)

I am one inch away from being done with the back of the sweater. It was looking like it would be too long.... but; I decided to just stick to the pattern. Since I don't really know enough to change it....
