Frustration

Hi everyone, long time no speakie. I've been busy, moved into a new place, got a puppy, potty trained my son. I have been keeping up with my knitting but i can honestly say that the only knitted project i've completed was a worsted weight pair of socks that i can't find :( I think i get too overly excited about new projects, and i start too many and get overwhelmed.


Right now, I am on a desperate search for a Red riding hood cape knitting pattern with a hood, I recently watched "The company of wolves" , it's an 80's movie, and it's sort of a  different take on the little red riding hood story. Not my favorite movie, but entertaining none the less.  So the main character's grandma makes her this BEAUTIFUL cape with a hood, it was too red though, but i would like to make one for me, i am having a hard time finding a pattern, and since i'm a plus sized girl, it's even harder.  So if anyone out there has ANY idea where i might be able to find a nice pattern, that would be awesome , please comment.

What am i working on right now? I am making a Super mario brother's Wii character Amigurumi for my son I bought the pattern on Etsy, You can see it here Wolley ,a hat for my best friend called Urban jungle which can be found here Urban Jungle  , and a crocheted dog sweater for my best friend's mami's doggie, the video tutorial is here if you're curious  Button crocheted sweater , it is absolutely EASY, and it's actually a lot of fun to make, i'm actually pretty much done with it and i started last night!

In non-knitting related news, i have plans in the near future to have a Gastric Bypass,  which i am really nervous but excited about,  i also joined a Bariatric weight loss center to help me lose the 10lbs that i have to lose before the surgery. I'm horrible at diets, but i think i'm finally gonna give in and do the 1200 calorie a day diet that the weight loss center requires.


Christmas is coming up! and it's project season for me (i know i procrastinated and should have started earlier),  I'm thinking of making my son the entire cast of super mario brothers, i think he would really enjoy that.  As for the rest of my family, i have to start asking what they want, i love making things, so hopefully they want something handmade.

That's it for me for now, Thanks for reading and i should be back soon. Again, if you know of a good hooded cape or cloak pattern, please please please let me know. Thanks in advance!
