Emma Gorodok asked on her blog for us to post about our "knitting firsts", and link her to our blog for a chance to win a free copy of the GORGEOUS bag she made for the bag contest in the HSKS5 swap. Here's mine!
Today I tried i-cord for the FIRST time. I needed to make some for the bag I'm making for my spoilee. A bit awkward to start off, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly, and was soon on my way! I have one done, and one to go. It only took me about five-ten minutes once I got the hang of what I was doing!
I'm also currently working on my FIRST sock (Monkey) which is ALSO my FIRST lace project.
At the same time, I have my FIRST sweater OTN, a gift for my dh. It's my FIRST cabled project as well....
Lots of FIRSTs for me! All during my FIRST year at Hogwarts, too! I should be exhausted!!!

Excited
About a bunch of things!
1: I've started the ordering for the things in my Hogwarts swap package, and my handmade item is done. I can't wait to see everything come together!
2: I got my swap partner for my "Favorite Things" swap, and have started filling my box.
3: I've signed up for the "Baker's Dozen" sock KAL. Starting in June, there'll be a pattern a month for a year, with a 13th pattern on-going as the year goes by. I think I'm going to piggy-back this with the F.R.I.E.N.D.S KAL, and make the monthly socks in the next season's box color... Two birds, one stone... All that Jazz.
4: Laura is finally potty trained at night. Just in time, too... I had used my last diaper the other day!
5: Kyle (my brother) picked out his birthday present. He was looking through my "Son of Stitch 'n' Bitch" book. He was debating between a hat and a sweater. Thankfully (for both my sanity AND my wallet) he picked the hat. LOL

Swap Partners!
Yay! I'm so excited! The owl dropped off my parners today! Both the person I get to spoil, and the person who is spoiling me are in Slytherin. I can't wait to get to know everyone. Hopefully my spoilee will post on her blog soon so I can get to know her. I can't wait to start tailor-making her parcel!

HSKS 5
I just found this cool thing on Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com). It's the "Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap 5: The Order of the Phoenix". How cool is that? I signed up, so hopefully I'll be accepted. Would that not be the most awesome thing in the world? lol. It's a three month swap, at the end of which you get (and give) a package with a handmade item, sock yarn in your house (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin) colors, new knitting needles, a knitting accessory (stitch markers, row counter, etc.), and a knit or crochet pattern. There can also be other "extras". Stuff that the person who has your name has learned about you during the three months the swap has gone on. How awesome is that? :) I'm super excited, and really hope I get into Hogwarts!
