Switching gears a bit today........I am taking a cake decorating class and having lots of fun with it.  Thought I would post a few pics.  The first pic is my practice cake using a star tip.

The next pic is from lesson 2.  This one we did in class last night, but mine wasn't finished so I had a bit of homework to do.  Most fun homework ever I think, lol.

moving along on the shawl, up to segment 8 now, 5 more to go........It's going to be huge I think.  Pics coming soon.   Still finishing up the zebra/hot pink baby afghan, the hat and booties to match are still waiting to be done.   I think I will try to finish those as well as work on the some fingerless mittens.....Chilly day outside, so maybe today is a good day to veg out in front of the tv and stitch.......

On my mind today............all the many things I need to finish!  Working on a black/green knit triangle shawl.  I tested the pattern for a fellow ravelry member....about half way finished with it.  I am calling it my trial and tribulation shawl because everything that could go wrong with this shawl has.  The first problem happened with the sweeper.  The yarn got sucked up and disaster!!!  So I completely ripped it out and started over.
  Next issue came when trying to post to the test thread forum.    I have been looking at the help my ravelry is broken forum...because mine is broke!!  I can't post, in google chrome.   It does work at least part of the time in explorer, so maybe something about chrome doesn't work with ravelry.

Next issue...I laid the work down in the middle of a row (I know better) and dropped about 20 stitches.  I am too far into the work to start over, so I did manage to pick the stitches back up but I am afraid it will be noticeable when it's done.  Too early to tell on that yet. 


I have in mind the hat and booties to go with thw zebra/pink round ripple, trying to get that done in the next day or two. 

time to get back to stitching, not just thinking about it.
