Pictures. As Promised.

First up, because I love it so much. Is the yarn I got at Craftstravaganza. Or, Craftapoloza. As I like to call it. :)

Dudes. Is that not the prettiest yarn you've seen in a long time? It's from the very sweet and very talented Aisha Celia Designs. She had some really great handspun and variegated ones. But this was the one for me. Well, I would have bought many many more had I had more money. :)

Next up is the little sweater I'm making for J.

It's the Wonder Years pattern that you can find online or over at Ravelry. Loving it so far. Making a size 3T.

And finally, a little sewing. A quilt that I finished sewing the top while I was pregnant with J.

I was hoping to get it done before his bday, but that's not happening.

The pattern is Yellow Brick Road by Atkinson Designs. I used a bunch of fat quarters I collected while pregnant and shopping. :) Not sure yet what I"m going to bind it with. The backing is just a solid green kona.

Dude.

It's been so long since I've blogged that I forgot my password. Nice. :)

So. Let's see. What is exciting as of late?

Hrm...

Couple weeks back Hubby, J and I went to the cities to hit the annual Craftstravaganzia at the state fair grounds. I bought a lovely skein of yarn from a local dyer, and as soon as I can find the camera, I'll post a link and a pic. I could have seriously spent a ton of money at her booth. But I was good. I only bought 1 skein of sock yarn.

I've been working on some kai-mei socks, out of Yarntini cabana boy. They're lovely. I'm on the second sock, and the ribbing part is nice to knit while watching tv.

We did a little yard landscaping last weekend. Again, as with everything, pics someday.

Cast on a shallowtail shawl last night. Yarntini Concord. Lovely dark purple color.

My baby turns TWO on thursday. I'm not sure where the time has gone. To celebrate we're having a little gathering on saturday. And Hubby and I are going to try to make him a sandbox. Being as neither one of us is really handy with a saw, we'll see how it goes.

Working on a little button front cardigan for J. It's dark grey with light grey stripes. I think it will be super cute. I'm knitting a 3T in hopes it will fit him next winter.

I work at noon today, so I'm just puttering around this morning. Still in my jammies. I think I'll go toss some laundry in and maybe do the dishes. Super exciting, I know. But first, I think I'll dig out some fabric. I designed a quilt in my head last night at work. I cut out some paper this morning, and I think it'll work out nicely. So now on to find fabric. :)

But really... I should go finish polishing my toenail. Priorities!
