Baby Knitting


I've just finished the Baby Tulip Sweater. Its from a kit I bought online at pickupsticks.ca. This is a very easy pattern and the Dream in Colour Smooshy yarn is so nice to work with. I highly recommend it.

Another baby pattern I just finished (like today, in about an hour) is the Meathead had. God, I love that name. The pattern is being offered free for a short period. Its so cute and well written. I have to get a picture of Max wearing this hat.

Look What I Got!!



Yes! Its a spinning wheel. Its not quite mine, but I do have the use of it for an entire year. This is what I've come up with so far. The roving is 'mermaid' from Spunky Eclectic (or at least thats where I think it came from)

I've ordered a book off of amazon called Start Spinning. I'm not sure I'm drafting the fiber properly. I always need a book to go by when I do these sort of ventures.

Does this make my feet look fat?


I just posted this FO on ravelry and noticed how chubby my little tootsies look in this photo. I'm not a small girl by any means, but my feet aren't fat! I guess its just the angle. Thats my story anyway.

Simple sock pattern from collingnette. The yarn is jitterbug - really nice. The colour is fruit coulis. I like 'em.
