Valentine's Day Recap

So yay, it's Valentine's Day! And yes, I know that there are those who adamently oppose it, but I feel that it's harmless enough. Any "holiday" that celebrates love can't be all bad. My fiancee and I celebrated last week on Friday to sort of combine our four and one half year anniversary with Valentine's Day by going out to our fave restaurant- Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro... pricey, but worth every penny. Our puppy was sick this morning so we took him to the vet this afternoon. Turns out he most likely got into something he shouldn't have eaten or picked something up outside any gave himself a royal tummy-ache... poor guy. So he's on the rice and eggs diet for a couple of days. Is it sad when you envy the food your dog gets to eat? I could really go for some stir-fry right now...

Any who, I made Heart Lace washclothes for my roommate and old suitemate following the pattern posted on Smariek Knits blog. It took me a while to figure out how to follow it exactly, but I made two- one in pink varigated (in the picture) and one in a solid pink S&C. They both loved them, so yay!
My roomie is a die-hard (and extremely talented) crocheter and she made me the little black and red heart bag for val-day. Isn't it the most adorable thing ever?! (And it's Fuzzy!!!) If you look at it from the narrow end (side?) you can see the whole heart but I couldn't really take a good picture of it. She whipped it out yesterday when I was at class and it's perfect for my phone as my old bag for it is pretty much falling apart at the seams.


The white scarf is a 100% angora scarf that I started on before Christmas, actually, and never got around to finishing. Well, it's finished! I found the yarn on ebay- it's a discontinued yarn by Cascade called Conejo (which is rabbit in spanish) Chunky. I got a great deal on it too- almost 200 yards new for 12 dollars (yay me!). I planned on making it as C-mas present for myself, but with all the knitting for everyone else I obviously forgot about it. I'm trying to reclaim all my needles from my unfinished projects so I sat down and worked on it today... it's only a repeat of the double moss/seed stitch. I didn't want to do anything too fancy with it as it's fragile and fuzzy enough on it's own. I cannot believe how amazingly soft it is! But enough about that.

I just found out my friend's sister is pregnant again and I missed my opportunity to knit for her first baby, so time to break out the baby patterns! Yay fuzzy stuff! On a more somber note... there is a pile of homework staring at me that I've been ignoring for... um.... six hours now? I should probably go and um... do that now....
