Paw print necklace.

O'hai. Yes I know, I'm a bad blogger. At least I always have pictures in my posts.

Now I almost blogged about my fathers birthday gift. Not good. I'll have to blog about it after the fact.

But anyway. I know I forgot to show you the paw print earrings I made, and I really should. Because they gave me the idea of making a paw print necklace. And you know what? It turned out better than I thought it would. I made it in pink, because it is a gift for my boyfriends little sister who turns 10 soon. But I do imagine it would look great in just about any color. Especially black. The paw pattern is here. The string is just chaining until it is the desired length, and then some more for the loop to put the button through. I bought a matching oval button, for easy fastening. I also considered to make the string longer and just tie it in the back, but for a 10 year old the button is probably the best solution.
This week I have been feeling bad, due to side effects from my antidepressant. But one of the days I didn't spend in bed I went out shopping. I bought some birthday presents for some of my best friends, an expensive sweater for myself and, Surprise, surprise; Some yarn. And buttons. The almost white yarn was cheap, the one next to it I bought for the colors and the two remaining was one sale and also won me over by color. Not sure what I'm going to use it for, but probably some earrings and other great ideas of the future. There are also four snap fasteners(If wikipedia is correct) for future handbag projects. In the little white envelope there are four plain black, small, round, two holed buttons for necklaces.

Also the latest week I've registered my hooks on Ravelry, they have a beautiful chart, where you also can ad notes for every single hook. I love it!


I've also fallen in love with this pattern; A short cape.(This is a link to Ravelry, the pattern is a free Ravelry download, but I'm not sure if you can see it.) I really want to make this one. I just think it would be great for winter. And this pattern for a long cape. (Also a link to Ravelry) It is published in this whatever it is. The only thing about this is that it is obviously reserved for Americans, since I can't find a place anywhere online that will ship to Norway! GAH! I want to make a long cape!!!

Edit: The link doesn't work, I know. I stole some pictures instead. If anyone is offended, please let me know!
