yeay

well the girls came over and we knitted, and we ate and we drank...and it was fun! and it only took about a thousand tries, well not really a thousand but at least a gopod ten tries but i got cast on for chickami. i think i'll make it as a twinset with the one skein wonder or maybe with the boob holder top but i don't know. decisions decisions. and i'm either gonna make it with a block of purple at the bottom and them use some multicolored artful yarns fable or i'll stripe it i just don't know. but thats all that is really going on. i got some help and i think i ow know how to do the eyelets to finish up my bad penny. and i still ahve theat second sleeve to sew onto my moms sweater but things are going well.
