I have been very busy this week. I decided that I was going to do several challenges over at
Gotta Pixel and do my two favorite RAKScraps challenges at
RAKscraps. I also joined and completed a few swaps at
Swap-bot. I'll get to the photos in a bit.
Knitting wise I've just been killing time this week. I had a bag of blue yarns & decided I was going to make a hat & scarf set from them. The scarf is complete and the hat needs finishing but it is knit. Since I still had some yarn I knit up a square that I'll use in an afghan one of these days.
The thing is I still have some of that yarn left and I'm running out of month. The goal of course being to use up all of the skiens that were in the bag, who knew there was so much yarn in there. Since there were only five skiens in there I thought it would be easy except that I used #15 US needles so I didn't use up as much as I thought I would.
I am torn between seeing how many more things I can knit out of this one bag of yarn and moving onto another one. One of my goals in 2009 is to empty the top shelf of my yarn cupboard so I can maybe buy some nicer stuff than the acrylic I'm using.
The Dishcloth of the Month... sigh... I messed up by using a multi when I should have used a solid for the first one & the second one starts with "Use a long tail cast on". I do not know how to do that and then there are several instructions I don't understand in the body so it's on hold until I either get to a stitch & bitch or I screw up enough courage to try.
Now for some pictures. None of the knitting of course but lots of scrapbook pages & ATC's

First up is this ATC for the RAKscraps ATC challenge.

And these two pages for the Quick Page Challenge

One of my favorite Challenges at Gotta Pixel is the Ad-spiration Challenge this is my entry for this month

This was a font challenge and it seemed to suit the subject of this image perfectly.
I have done several question type email swaps at swap bot & will be adding my answers to my
listography page later on today. They were quite a bit of fun. I have four ATC swaps to complete for the next two week & will add them after I send them. For a sneak preview you can always go to my
Flickr page & see them & a lot of my other work,
