Here is my very first finished project on my very first blog! This is the Fulled Lopi Tote.
Isn't it cute?! I did it one day too.
I used Rio de la Plata knitting yarn in Honey Mustard-A48 and Dye Free Brown-N28 on US#15, 16". The yarn comes in 140-yd skeins, and the pattern calls for 200 yds. I would estimate that I used about 1 skeins worth of yarn on this project. (I'm not a math wizard when it comes to this stuff.) I would also guess that I have enough for another tote! Woohoo! I used more mustard than brown. I'll just make the reverse next time.
I can't wait for My Dangshin to come home so I can show him. He was working on the Oscars tonight. Ah, the glamorous life.

The Beginning
Welcome to my new blog site.
First of all, I'd like to tell you why I'm starting this blog. I've been completely obsessed with them recently. Didn't even know this world existed until I started looking up knitting patterns. So I thought, shit, why not start one myself!
There are many advantages to this form of spilling your guts to complete strangers. One of which is that I'm growing older, and the use of my hands is becoming increasingly difficult--especially in the writing department. It literally looks like chicken scratch. So, needless to say, journal writing has gone by the wayside. Another advantage is that I don't have to fear that others are looking at my private thoughts. I'll be sharing all the ugliness and beauty that lies within this cerebral mass I call my brain.
Not sure who would be interested in viewing my mundane thoughts, but all are encouraged to comment, laugh, sob, point fingers at often.
So, we get to the part of the section on explaining Garlic Breath (GB). GB is in reference to my love of eating and cooking especially with garlic. The more the merrier, I say. I love it so much that my wonderful boyfriend, from this point on will be referred to as My Dangshin (ask your Korean friend what that means), scruntches his nose and jerks his head away in sheer horror whenever I try to kiss him. He still loves me, and he continues to enjoy all different cuisines with me. He is my soulmate. (Click on him and it'll take you to his website. Check out the trailer for our next movie.)
GB is delightful or repulsive depending on how you look at it. Because I'm pretty outspoken, I think I'll probably delight or piss off those who venture onto this site. Besides irking and watching people squeal with laughter, I'd like to also connect with the knitting community out there. There are so many of you. Who knew? Any encouragement, advice, criticism will be cherished.
