My First Tag

I am officially a knitting nerd. I tagged my first object and I am so proud of it! I first learned about tagging from my friend Robyn. There is a group of knitters called Knitta Please that go around their cities tagging objects such as stop signs, street signs, door handles, trees, buses, etc. They do it just for fun and to add a little zaniness to the everyday. I decided to tag a stop sign that is near my home and the home of my friend Robyn as a surprise for her. I'm not sure that she has seen it yet, but I hope when she discovers it, it will bring her joy. 

Here is what I knitted using leftover yarn from other projects. 

The stop sign pre-tag.

The stop sign post-tag.

It was so funny watching the people drive by and stare at me while I sewed this sleeve to the stop sign. I put this up around 9:00 pm on Sunday night and around 6-7 cars drove by in the 5 minutes we were there. That gives you an idea of how busy this area is. This is the stop sign at the corner of Westcreek and I-20 if you want to check it out. :) 



I had to go back and check it out the day after to make sure it was still there and to take a better photo of it. How long do you think it will stay up? My best guess is 30 days. I will keep you posted.

Bow Ear Warmer

We went skiing over Spring Break, so I decided to make a new ear warmer to take on the trip. The pattern for this ear warmer can be found on Ravelry.com. If you would like to purchase one, they are $19.99. Just comment on this post. 

Day 11: Sock Bun

Yes. There is a sock in my hair. See this tutorial on how to recreate this look. I used the first method that she talks about. I tried the second method, but I think I have too much hair, because it created a giant bun. 

Lamps

I'm looking for lamps for my living room. Aren't these cute? I saw them at Pier 1.  This lamp has a strip of fabric from my curtains on it. Don't you think it would look fabulous in my living room?
