Finally!!!






Yup, thats right! Rah Rah is back in business!! I'm very sorry it has taken me so long to get back into writing, but over the past month both my laptop and pc have died, and both me and Lewy have been sick as doggies...

But now I'm better, and while I havent gotten a replacement laptop just yet I HAVE gotten a new hard drive for my pc.... and believe it or not but when Lewy tried to put it in the old one just magically started working again. So I didnt lose any of my stuff!
So now I have all my pictures, wedding stuff, and my knitting patterns backed up on usbs and kindles XD



Now since my last post promised instructions on knitting a beanie, I will hold true to my promise.




Body of the Hat:
Cast on 84
k 8 rows in rib knit (k2, p2) * Repeat to end
Optional: Attach a different color to being new stripe
k27 rows in St. st.
Optional: Attach another color for final stripe
k13 rows in St. st, ending with a purled row
Note: If you want your hat to be longer or shorter, you can add or subtract rows here before you begin decreasing.
Decrease:
(k10, k2tog)* Repeat 7 times to end
Next Purl
(k9, k2tog)*
Purl
(k8, k2tog)*
Purl
(k7, k2tog)*
Purl
(k6, k2tog)*
Purl
(k5, k2tog)*
Purl
(k4, k2tog)*
Purl
(k3, k2tog)*
Purl
(k2, k2tog)*
Purl
(k1, k2tog)*
Purl
(k2tog)*
Finishing:
   Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and pull through remaining stiches, securing in first loop. Use the remaining tail to join the sides together. If you used multiple colors, use the tails from the color change to join that color's section together. Weave in any remaining ends.



Now just a side note that this beanie is made using straight needles. (I have a project in the works using circular needles but I need to finish it)

Because I have to work today, that means this blog will be sort of short and to the point. Tomorrow, however, I am off, and my only housework involves doing laundry in my brand new washing machine, and making my bed....

We have some interesting things to cover, some new patterns to put up, and lots of projects to finish so stay tuned! Also I'm sorry for the gifs, but I am super excited to be able to write on something with a real keyboard again!

Lots of Love,
*Rah~Rah*

Back In Business!!!!

So as of today I have full internet access as well as a fully functioning computer ^_^ its gonna take me a while to get back into the swing of things though I've been forced to use my phone for so freaking long I've almost forgotten how to use a proper keyboard!

Now I haven't slacked off, don't you worry! I've finished both the Slytherin and Gryffindor house bags and the sets of scarves, as well as came up with some really cute golden snitch key rings. (Pictures and instructions will follow at a later date.)

I am currently starting work on the Huffelpuff bags and scarves. The invitations are ready and awaiting a chosen date, all of the decorations are ready to be put into place, the menu is set, and now all we need to do is finish unpacking our new house, and get our kitchen sorted and we will be on a roll!

Almost that time!

Well its almost time for me to come back, well back to blogging again lolz. I know I've kept you all waiting for a while, but you have to understand.... we have been looking for a house and have had to move out of where we were staying and into the inlaws house, I havent been able to stay on the computer long since we have had things to do.... BUT all thats about to change!!!! Our settlement is on the 16th of January and we only have a small bit of work to do before we can move all our stuff in. I'm really excited I cant wait to start painting and furnishing the place!!!!



I have still been a busy bee dont you worry, I've finished the Gryffindor and Slytherin bags, as well as the book scarves, but most of my other stuff has been packed away. I did however come up with a new plan for making the magic wands, with a light up tip thanks to my awesome fiance ^_^ and I made my very own Slytherin House Robes, I had to order the patches off e-bay but they were very cheap. After the patch arrives in the mail I will iron it onto the robes and they will be 100% finished. I will be sure to make a very HUGE blog post about everything I have made while I've been away.

My little sister in law has just finished making some home made ice cream, and we are all about to partake in the eating of it! I will not forget to write again.

Ta-ta for now!
