*frumps*

My laptop's AC connector has decided to quit on me, so until I can get that repaired I can't post any pictures :( I'm really bummed, because I wanted to post all of the pictures I took of the afghans I've crocheted for my younger siblings. Plus also my mom's cardigan which is in progress - another frustration: I left it at my friends' house while I was house sitting for them, and they live about 40 minutes away so I haven't made it back out to pick it up, neither have they made it out here to drop it off!! My fingers are literally itching for my hooks.

To keep my hands busy I've started a giraffe amigurumi from a pattern I found on www.lionbrand.com. My sister is a giraffe FEIND and I figured I'd make her one and kill two birds with one stone - her birthday gift and staving off withdrawals from my regular project!! It's made from a combination of teal and magenta yarn (which she mentioned she liked the look of together) and he's turning out really rather cute. I just have to get all his pieces put onto his body and then he'll be done. He's my second attempt at amigurumi - my first attempt was cute too (he was a little lavender bunny), but I used too big of a hook size, so his stuffing peeks out from among the stitches, and he never did get a face because I couldn't decide how to do it. He amuses my cats to no end now.

I really, really, REALLY miss my hooks. But after my mom's cardigan is done I'm going to do another baby blanket for a cousin of mine who's about to have her second - a little girl :) Should be fun!
