Raverly Notebook-Panda bear

So I do have a Raverly notebook page (click on the link to go and look.. but you'll need to have an account.) After each piece is done-I'll slide the green % bar to whatever number. For instance-after I finish the head, it'll be 60% completed. I almost didn't knit on this project or just decided not to knit on this project today... but I started the head. So I may just spend the rest of the day knitting the head. (It will take awhile). I could finish this project this week. (Not this weekend.)

Happy knittings,

Finished legs!






So I just finished a minor part of the panda bear! The legs! Here are the photos, and also-there's a little something special at the bottom of this blog post. (See if you can notice what it is..) Also, I labeled the legs to tell the difference between the left and right.)






Notice how I signed the blog post?
PS: After each piece I finish-there will be a blog post. I'm deciding to do it that way. Also-if it's in a pair, like the legs and arms, I will wait to finish the pair before I post the entry.

Good night! (Left Leg)

I only had small amounts of energy left, and only got to one of the photos done of the right leg of my panda bear. So I call this a "preview"


So this may be the last blog post about the Royal Wedding knitting for awhile, or until tomorrow (we will see). I'm trying now to blog less about it since the wedding was today. I'm not sure how I'm going to blog of what I get done, but I'll figure it all out tomorrow (remember I've been up since 3am?) I would normally try to finish up my part I'm working on if I weren't so tired-which is the Left leg of my panda bear. I have photos of the right leg, so I will probably post them tomorrow. I'm thinking about doing a post per day about the Royal Wedding knitting-but then again we'll see. As in for the notes-I have seven pages so far, there are a lot of parts to this project. I don't mind it at all-it's small parts into one big project. (Pretty neat huh? I feel like I'm getting a lot more accomplished when it's breaking down to smaller parts like these). Okay, I'm rambling... and I think the royal knitter should go to her chambers for beauty sleep (haha!)

Happy Knittings!

Noting on Notes Part 1

So I've been keeping extensive notes on this project for the panda bear. This is the blog entry of describing of the series that is coming together throughout this weekend. I love weddings, especially royal ones as you can see that I'm blogging a whole lot more today! (I'm just catching days worth of blogging too...) I'm not sure if I'm going to type my notes (I hardly type my notes when it comes to projects) but this is such a special memory to me, that I may type up the notes once the project is done.)

What to expect: (Hopefully I'll stick to this!!)
1.) Timeline of the events and when I knitted the panda bear during the wedding. (Example: The kiss stitch) notes,
2.) Rows completed (this pattern defiantly required good note taking on the rows finishing, since it is knitted in individual pieces).
3.) Photos of my notebook full of notes.
4.) Individual pages of notes per knitted piece. (Makes sense? I jotted down notes on separate pages whenever I began a new piece, to make things more clearer... and organized. I love organized notes.)

Happy Knittings!

Panda Progressing Photos #1




This is the exact stitch I knitted while they were kissing! : ) I marked it so I could put a jewel there after it's done.


Since I mentioned before about the photos, here they are!

Princess Catherine's Raverly Link

I just created a link on my Raverly's notebook page, but I'm thinking of putting the extensive notes in blog posts instead (we'll see). There's also photos up from this morning. As soon as I figure out one of the rows in the pattern-I'll be working on the head. (I would call this 70%) done... still have to work arms and legs, and possibly the earliest this project is completed is tomorrow.

Happy Knittings!

Royal Wedding Knitting...

Yes... I'm actually going to create a page for this, since I'm creating a very very special project for this.. and yes I'm just about to leave you on a cliff hanger-until possibly tonight. I've already posted a spoiled alert of what I'm knitting today during the wedding. I woke up at 3am, and was way too excited for this project. If you really want to know what I'm knitting-look at the tags or go to the link for photos. But of course there will be photos later on tonight. I'm super tired, and already posted some up of what I have on my facebook page.

Happy Knittings and Royal Wedding day!
