A pictures worth.....

This is a big pile of leftover yarn from all sorts of projects. Looks like technicolor cat barf to me : )

What I really want to blog about are my husband's finished Guiness socks. He decided that having a seperate toe would be annoying, so they are just regular socks. He really likes them, which makes me feel bad about taking soo long to make them.

Also, Starsky is just about done. I seamed it, but while I was working, I became suspicious that the sleeves were going to be too long. That would be an understatment. I cut them (!) and now have the live stitches ready to go. I just need to knit 5 inches of cuff and that shouldn't take long. Looks like it's going to fit : ) The belt is more than halfway done.

There won't be any pics for a while as the camera is on its way to Germany in the luggage bag of My Man's motocicletta.

Me too! Loving the projects and looking forward to Starksy as well. Looking forward to sharing the Ohio stash as soon as the bumbles figure out how to put the pictures in our soon to be blog. The Irish scarf is coming along. It is sort of a race that'll stop when St. Patty's Day approaches. That'll be the long or short of it. Can't stop knitting. Fingers are stiff and eyes are burning, but needles are flying. Ms. C and her dishclothes at lunch and me and my scarves. We could be knitting the history of the world. K2, P2, K2, P2

Oh my gosh, our little buddy looks so old in this picture! Here he is in his new sweater. Yep, it's buckeye colors left over from the baby sack. A long time ago, I bought him some Donnegal (sp?) tweed and a fancy book with adorable patterns. It remains unknit...but I did throw together this little number sans pattern. (There's still hope for the other one!) He does kind of have a funny body shape, though and the armholes were too big, so I tightened them up with some crochet. Of course, there's the "F." He can't wear it at night because he gets too hot, but during the day, he is more comfortable with his little sweater- no shivering for this pampered pooch. P.S. Thanks for the cute Halloween card for the boy Nanny-o, he loved it...oh, and he misses you too!

70's Kitty Hat

Did I really never publish this? What a blast from the past. All I remember is that the hat fit The Fonz the best :) I guess it's along the line of the pussycat hat!

Z's shawl....

This is one of those skeins- the Socks That Rock lightweight. The colors are sweet and very gentle. Here it is modeled by my elder daughter, but the little one has laid claim to it. For whatever reason, she calls it her own. I am almost starting to relax enough about my paranoia of them having things around their neck, that I just might be able to let her wear it once in a while. She can have it, but I prefer her stuffed cat wear it. I love working with this yarn- it's got a great texture! As you can see in this pic, it's too bulky to wear as a neck wrap, but it seems too small to use as a shawl. I wish I would have gotten two skeins for this one. Who knew? And it's all just part of the great experiment to find a little neck wrap that is NOT a dickie! Specs: Yarn: Socks that Rock Lightweight- colorway Goody Goody Pattern: Multnomah Needles: size 6 knitpicks circs P.S. For you there, family member who would like a shawl of some kind- here's what you have to do. Go to th...
