I'mma just dive right in here before August teleports away. This is the next side for the Monster Hunter cube, filled with toxic green goodness! This pattern cleaned up rather quickly once my computer parts stopped catching on fire and worked like they should(?).
I wound up not using a single one of the preliminary floss toss colors. Super Husband to the rescue picking colors! I love turning him loose in the store with the instructions to pick good colors haha. Maybe it's a bit silly to have him pick stuff for his own gift... oh well, he does a wonderful job of it.
Rather short on the update. Of course we have over 60 hours in the new Monster Hunter game so progress ground to a halt. Imagine the things I could accomplish if I didn't spend that time gaming! But, gaming comes first, especially co-op gaming. Then, the last part of July was spent on vacation down in Alabama and Georgia. The Georgia Aquarium was really neat, even the gift shop with the silly fish faces. Driving in Atlanta was horrendous. Exit only lanes pop out of nowhere and speed limits are mild suggestions. Nope, nope, nooope. But all the stitchy progress was vacation stitching, that's a win for me! I made sure to prep my fabric in advance; that helped a lot.
Oh! And I decided to participate in the Ravellenic Games this year. I will be knitting a hat for the first time and maybe making something else if the hat finishes faster than expected! Having never done one before, I have no clue about time frames. It's not a huge goal but it will teach me to knit in the round (normally; I was taught magic loop first) and do a 3-needle bind off, woo!

Great colour choices by hubby. Good luck with the hat
ReplyDeleteIt is looking colorful!! I am also in Ravellenics crocheting with teamsacophony2016 group team.
ReplyDeleteNice colour choices! I'm always asking DH for colour choices, his eye is better than mine. :) Glad you're having fun together, that's what really matters and good luck with the Olympics!
ReplyDeleteGood color choices! I think having fun together is most important!
ReplyDeleteHe chose excellent colours and you're off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteHey! The Ravellenic Games looks like fun, don't think I'll be able to manage anything this year though :-( Looking forward to seeing what you make! xx
ReplyDeleteThe colours go very well together, he's got a good eye!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Ravellenic Games, I love all the craft themed events around. So much more fun than all that sport!
Ooo I love those colors!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't get my hubby in the craft store at all. He sits in the car and plays games on his phone. But he takes me! Good luck with the hat. Once you do a hat you can start on socks. My mom used to make socks and great slippers for everyone in the family.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I think maybe having him look for stuff helps. Otherwise he's just standing there, staring at his phone. :D Thank you, I hope I can start on socks soon. They are definitely something I want to master.
DeleteAt least you could trust your DH with colors, haha. Good luck with the knitting challenge. Have fun!
