ok the thing about ravelry is that you spend time on ravelry and you dont want to knit. it's just click, click, click and then hours have passed and you are just overwhelmed with everything you want to knit and yarns that just look fabulous. it's really a great site... when you get your invite make sure you add me as a friend... it's sparkli over there too. it's just amazing over there.
another reason i am slacking off in the knitting area is that i'm stuck on sheldon the stupid turtle. i have everything knitted. the directions say to single crochet 2 rounds around the part that holds the turtle in the shell. when i do that it's making that part too small to fit the bottom of the shell. i have redone it twice now and ripped it out twice too. it fits fine if i dont crochet it. it probably doesnt help that i am using a hook that is about 3 sizes smaller than what the pattern calls for. but i dont want to go pay money on another hook either. (but i probably will if someone tells me this is a very important step) otherwise, i am thinking about just trying the applied icord with that part with out the crocheted rounds.
and that is another thing! applied icord! i have read the directions atleast 5 times and it sounds so freaking complicated and i dont even understand it. i am hoping it's one of those knitty things that when you actually just *do* what the pattern says that it will work out. because if it isnt, then i am screwed. and it's july 4 and it needs to be IN tennessee by the 10th. pffft.
here, i will leave you with pictures.... but you better give me some freaking turtle advice... i dont know what i am doing over here! :D
and a sock i knitted for my sister.
