Bright Red Meathead!

My finished Meathead!
Yarn: Lambs Pride Bulky
I knit the small size and still had a good 3-4 yards left after seaming.
I added some glass beads as embellishment.

Knitting for selfish purposes

Yarn: KnitPicks Merino Style in Coal(only 1 skein, with a couple yards leftover!)
US 4/3.5mm DPNs
Pattern from Knitty
cabling w/o a cable needle (awesome!)
Added 2 extra rows to the body of the glove( 18 rows to 20 rows)
No picot bind-off
Picked up a total of 8 stitches vs. 4 for the thumbs
to account for the smaller gauge of the Merino Style.

It took me a month to knit these!
I think weaving and other homework got in the way.
Now I have toasty warm gloves to wear,
and the cabling w/o a cable needle was strangely fun to do.
The merino was a nice yarn to knit with, and now i'm a bit addicted.

A poor attempt at tapestry weaving

I'm taking a beginning tapestry class through my university!
I was so excited to be learning how to weave, and it's a lot of fun.
Tapestry is turning out to be much more time consuming
and much slower paced than knitting.
To tell the truth, I get so overwhelmed with fiber
after class that I really don't feel like knitting.
I've gotten to the half way point of the circle since these pictures were taken,
but we are using LeClerc looms!
