Welcome everyone to a new blog post. I'm almost done with this blanket! It's taken many centuries to create. As you can see below it's pretty darn long, and you may be thinking "Sarit, that is done, girlfriend!" No it's not because I want it to be a comfortable length blanket, and a comfortable length of a blanket is not the length of a person's torso and down. It's longer than that. According to me. I got some more red yarn for this, and it was only $3! Thank you Thrift Store! I used this in the car on a road trip and I knit it while using it. It was glorious. I'm almost done with it, and I'm so excited! I hope you enjoyed this progress post.

Tiny girl knits normal sized blanket
This is progress post. I mentioned my blanket in a previous post. I wanted to show you all how it's going! It take awhile as you can see, but I'm really happy with how it's turning out so far. Can you believe that all that plum section cost me $10 and the red color section cost me $2 and it's not even done yet! I'm so sad because I don't think I can bring it with me on my trip to Costa Rica (!) because it's getting heavy! I really love it. It's such a fun project, and the pattern isn't difficult, and I think I can get more of this yarn at the Thrift Store. I'm so excited for this to be over and for me to be able to use it! As you can see it's pretty holy because the yarn is not made for such big needles, but I think it looks super rad. Don't you?! You kinda have to say yes because I've been saying how I like it and you don't want to hurt my feelings so ha I trapped you. Happy 4th of July to all you Americans out there. (I added a bonus picture at the end of me eating a cupcake in honor of the 4th of July, and because I like cupcakes.)

Two girls take pictures of themselves. You won't believe what happens next.
Hey folks. I made a hat! On a loom! I used two strands of the same color, so it is very thick and comfy. I like this hat, but I'm not sure about the top of it. I guess it looks good. It looks good. I like it. I like the hat. I was going to make it for my brother, but I don't think it will fit his head. Thank you cousin and sister for telling me this. He has a much bigger head than I do, and the hat fits my head pretty snuggly. Is that a word that is being used correctly? I don't know. I can do whatever I want. It's my blog! Thank you, Sarit for that assessment. You're very welcome, Sarit. Ok moving on. The black hat is the new hat that I made yesterday, and what the post is about. The pink one (if you've been following along) is the one that was in the last post. I am liking it more than I said I liked it in the previous post. Sometimes right after I knit something I don't really like it, but then I grow to like it more. Look below for some pretty snazzy model pictures that should be in Vouge.
Shout out to my sister for being an A+ model with me. Aren't we too cute?

L-u-m-p-y
This hat is very lumpy. Well the stitches are lumpy. I think it's the yarn's fault. There I go again blaming the yarn and not the knitter. I did this on the loom. I got this yarn at the thrift store! The way I tied it together is a little lumpy also. It's just a lumpy hat. A lumpy pink hat. Please look below for me modeling this lumpy hat.

THIS MOTHER EFFING DEAL I GOT
Welcome to another episode of Sarit Knits. It's me Sarit! And I knit! Let me tell you a wonderful tale about the time when yesterday I went with some lovely people to a wonderful place called a Thrift Store. At this thrift store I found some yarn, and I was like "Hey I enjoy yarn. Let me buy some for my yarn related projects." I looked at the price tag, and they were SO CHEAP. SO I BOUGHT 3 things of yarn that I liked. If you look in the bag with the green yarn it has TWO yarns in it. So I got 4 things of yarn for $10. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!? But my dear readers, the story is not yet over. As you may have heard from my past posts, I am making a blanket, and I will need some more yarn than that $10 thing of yarn I got. (See post labeled EXTREME KNITTING). I was just browsing after my purchases, and I found a big thing of yarn the EXACT SAME SIZE as the $10 one! Not the same color, but still a nice color. GUESS HOW MUCH IT WAS!? Ok do you have a number in your head? IT WAS $2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you believe this? It was on sale at the thrift store, and it was originally $4! I GOT 5 THINGS OF YARN FOR A WHOPPING TOTAL OF $12! Can you believe this? I can't. Please excuse me while I lock myself in my room for a month and knit.

Hello loyal viewers. All 2 of you. (see bottom)
Ha made you look at all the modelesque pictures of me. I made this hat on a loom, and I used two different colored yarns at the same time. You may have noticed that the hat is pink and blue if you have good eyesight and are not colorblind. I think it looks super rad. Whoo. I like how the top of the hat is just blue. You may be thinking that this is an artistic choice, but I just ran out of pink yarn. Aren't you having a good time learning my secrets? Don't trust everything you see on the internet. I've been knitting a lot. I'm still working on my blanket if you're following along.
