Could've fooled me...

It appears I have a life. At least the maker of this quiz thingy (shamelessly ganked from beentsy, who shamelessly ganked it from Lizz at Knitting by Moonlight) thinks so.

There are 239 movies in this list. Apparently, if you've seen 85 or more of them, you, unlike Piggy, do not have a life. But don't worry: I have a sneaking suspicion this quiz fails to meet any scientific standard.

BTW, I suggest you see both of these...for the same reason: Paul. Gross. 'Nuff said.

FO Friday

No promises this will be a weekly event. I mean, I can't seem to manage to post for WIP Wednesdays -- even when I have a non-secret item on the needles.

No, it's not Festivus Leaves. I've yet to start it. I know, I know. The month is almost half over. I'm not sure what's wrong, but I just haven't been motivated this last week or so. Unfortunately, I'm not quite apathetic enough to not care about being unmotivated. Which sucks.

Ok, so before I get too Debbie Downerish, let's have the finished object, shall we?

Hippity Hop Bib
A bib for Bunny

Project Details:

Pattern: Hippity Hop! Bib by Elaine Fitzpatrick (Rav link)
Yarn: Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, Hot Purple, approx. ¾ skein
Needles: 4 mm/US 6 for the bib, 3.75 mm/US 5 for the ties
Cast On: August 29, 2010
Cast Off: September 2, 2010
Mods: None
Notes: The bunny doesn't show up as well as the monkey does in the Imp Bib I knit previously. Perhaps because of the colour? Using the smaller needles for the ties this time (per the pattern suggestion)was a good idea.

I've actually got two more FOs to show you...maybe I'll save them up for the next two Fridays.

What do you do to battle the knitting blahs?

WIP Wednesday 4

Well, really WIP Wednesday 1, for Piggy. I'm always late to the party.

The WIP Wednesday meme is the brainchild of Tami, one of the great members of The Blog Hub group on Ravelry. Today is the fourth installment of the meme, but my first. :o)

Right. So my first-ever WIP Wednesday offering is hardly spectacular, I'm afraid. I've only got one project on the needles at the moment, a bunny bib in dishcloth cotton for my friend's daughter:

row 56
Hippity Hop! bib, row 56

Actually, that's not true; I do have another project on the needles, but I can't show it to you. It's for my secret partner in the Terminal City Yarn Wranglers' Festivus Miracle Swap-o-rama, so off-limits until early December. Sorry. It's too bad, really, as that project is a lot more interesting than the bib.

Fortunately next week's installment should be more interesting, I hope. Today marks the start of 'term' for the Harry Potter Knitting/Crochet House Cup (HPKCHC) on Ravelry, and therefore the start of my second attempt at Spring Leaves (re-named Festivus Leaves).
