Here I go!

I was told by family members last week that I NEEDED to blog, so I'm back! Who knows for how long, right? I didn't think I had much to show, but I found a few things post-worthy!

Yesterday was my friend Rochelle's birthday, so I baked her a cake:

(Dark chocolate fudge cake on the inside, milk chocolate frosting on the outside... mmm)

And knit her some socks:

(thanks for modelling, mom!)

Here are the specs (for those interested!)

Yarn: Dream in Color "Smooshy", 1 skein in "Blue Lagoon"

Needles: 2.75mm 40" circular (knit Magic-Loop style)

Pattern: Basic, top-down vanilla socks. 64 sts.

We had lots of fun celebrating her birthday yesterday! We went to dinner at Claim Jumpers, played Quelf, and ate cake! Hooray!

As far as knitting goes, I just finished those socks and two other gifts (that haven't been gifted yet, so no pictures! Shhh!) and now I don't know what I want to work on! I need some divine inspiration... I do have some things that I could finish (blah), like this:

The pattern is the "Little Coffee Bean Cardigan", and I knit it up really quick, using scraps of wool in a bunch of colors using a random stripe sequence. All that's left to knit are the sleeves, but do I want to knit them? Of Course not! You're so smart! ;)

It is cute, though!

Well, party people, that's all I've got for today, I'm off to go troll Ravelry from my next big adventure! Have an awesome day!
