Super Mario :-)
Hello there! It is 12:52 am, November 20th, and just a couple of minutes ago, i finished my Super Mario! I got the pattern courtesy of a VERY talented crochet wizard, Wolfdreamer. She's absolutely amazing and her instructions are clear and easy to read, it took me 2 days and that's only because i only worked on it at night when i got home. I am super excited, i tried to take some pictures with my phone but it's too dark and my craft room has poor lighting, but tomorrow i will and i will post them, if you are curious as to where to find this awesome pattern here you go! Mario Amigurumi , I made him for my son Ayden who is now 4 and (thank the goddess) completely potty trained now!!! *dance* So i've decided to give him the Mario tomorrow morning, and make the rest of the set to give to him for christmas. He's gonna be super excited. Anywho, i'm off to play some WoW, i will post those pics tomorrow. Good night interwebz.

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!
