Okay, so I don't actually have a project to display, nor a pattern to post, but it's still about knitting!!!!!!!
My first design, for a simple pillow cover, is underway. As in, I've figured out the vague gauge, and how many feet of yarn per row, and what colours I want to do it in. Now all I've got to do is order the yarn! Well.. also, I've got to convince Mom to let me buy it, then I have to get her to pause her stuff for more than 5 minutes so we can order it, then I've got to get coupons and go to Joann's, and buy the proper needles.... And THEN I can knit the pillow!
Here's yarn colour #1:

I haven't decided yet. Since pictures can be misleading, I am hesitant to buy the pink yarn, since it might be a bright fuschia, or even violet! But, I'm still determined to buy this yarn, because it is gorg, and has good reviews. Nearly everyone said that the colours are as pictured, and that the yarn doesn't split or pill, but it is a bit slippery, they say. Me says challenge accepted. YAY I CAN'T WAIT.
