I didn't know what to get my mom for mothers day and finally she told me she wanted a cake so I made her a CAKE! This is also my first post here in the cooking boards. I got up Sunday morning and decided to make a rainbow layer cake for my mom. I just used a regular yellow cake mix and used food coloring and strawberry mixed with vanilla frosting. Here are the many pics of the cake. Its 5 layers.

All the colors.

This was my first time making a rainbow cake and my first layer cake and my first time trying to do that with the icing. The icing was really to runny to do that right. After making it I didn't even try any of it until today because I had already spent so much time with it. lol Thanks for looking!

If I get into this swap I will be offering 5 Awesome Summerish Slouchy Hats! Here are some I've already made, I have more on my Ravelry page.
The Pattern is the Slouched Tuva Hat.

I'm going to try to make these in colors that people like. So if you get this in yours let me know asap what your fav color is. I also have a lot of purple and green in my stash. lol I can also do the blue one again I have more of that yarn. But I have a large stash so I should be able to find something.

I forgot a made a post on here of some of these hats I have made. So here is some more examples.

I think I am going to name him Sherlock.

Let me just say this is one of the best swap package I've ever gotten! I love everything! I just hope mine can live up to this.

Because making 7 hats for Christmas wasn't enough hats I've been making more.

I first found this pattern because my sister wanted me to make her a slouchy hat. I picked this pattern because its slouchy and looked like something I could knit. It is Slouched Tuva Hat  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/slouched-tuva-hat

So I started with the first hat for my sister

Knitting this hat sucked because Lucci Yarn Sequins I put with Berroco Vintage DK is big regular sharp sequins. So it took me a lot longer to knit this because of the sequins.

Here is the second Tuva which I made for myself.

 
Then I made a pink shiny one for my friend Aimee. I forgot to take a pic before giving it to her this is a pic she took.


Lastly I made a black shiny one for my friend Tracy

This picture looks funny because I photo shopped it on my tablet to make it brighter.

The last 2 knit up quick because I knit them with worsted weight. I just used the I Love This Yarn Sparkle because a lot of friends that I make things for our vegan and don't want things made out of any animal fibers so I have several skeins of this.

If anyone wants to make this pattern I would say go for it is easy and I really like my hat. Its good for bad hair days. lol

I received my package yesterday from that1girl and it awesome here's the pics

Everything all together! She sent 3 hats, 2 pairs of gloves,  2 sets of speech bubble i can write on. Also there is candy, a little note book, and some neat post cards of things in her area. AND everything was wrapped in these cute little bags she made!



The main hat of the package. Its brown and cabely. It fits me well.



She also made 2 little hats! One is purple and one is green my fav colors!





I loved everything thanks so much!

I'm woking on like 3 different things for this swap. Here is a teaser of something I've started.

This morning I was working on the scarf that is my first real knitting project on needles. I've just been looming knitting for awhile. I've been working on this for over a month when I have time like in my classes that I don't have to pay attention to.
I went and sat on the couch with my mom and the dog jumps up there and pukes all over my lap and knitting!!

So now I don't know what to do I want to try to save the yarn. It sitting in a bucket of cold water not moving. Its di.Ve'
Autunno Aran / 10 ply Merino. I'm just so sad because its such a pretty yarn and I want to save it all I can thing of to do is try to get the puke out and let it soak and slowly frog it while wet and then let it dry and put it into a hank.

Does anyone have any ideas for me?? I would be greatfull!


This is what it looks like. It so pretty and squishy soft. Please help me save it!

These are 4 necklaces I made. They are inspired by the work of Tarina Tarantino. I love all her work but I am a jobless bum right now and can't not afford any of it so I decided to make some things with stuff I already had.

I am not sure if this one is done or not
