Check out those sexy skeins.

This orange is going to be a single cable scarf for me.

This light-blue will be a single cable scarf for my accompanist, Dean.

And this red will be a womb.

Hooray!

Thanksgiving Deliciousness

I love being vegan.

Tomorrow!

I am going to Knitche.

Hooray!

The plan is to pick up a skein of Cascade 128 Chunky and a skein of Blue Sky Organic Cotton. The former will become a womb, the latter a single cable scarf.

Because, you know, I don't have any other projects going right now ...

Baby Beanie

I've been dying for an excuse to make baby stuff, and *poof* I find out my cousin and his wife are expecting! Hooray! So my first baby item is this Baby Beanie.

I felt it was appropriate to model the beanie on the first stuffed animal I ever had.



This will be my gift for Erin's baby shower in December (that I can't be at due to school, lame).

Also, what is the deal with cats and boxes (particularly ones they can't fit into)?

Teensey Capelet

As previously eluded to, here is the Teensey Capelet.


It only took one evening to make, but I haven't gotten around to taking a shot of it until now. The fall colors are fantastic. I used Berroco Foliage in Joshua Tree.

I really like crocheting. I just have too many knitting projects to go through right now ... heh.

So Making This

I found a sweet blog today:
http://www.vickiehowell.com

I don't have the DIY channel, so I don't get to watch awesome knitting shows. :( But. I am definitely making this capelet. I have perfect yarn for it. I may just take a break from Yorick to make it tonight. Crocheting is nice because it goes by so quickly.

Seed Stitch Scarf - Completed!

Hooray! After all of this time I finally finished the seed stitch scarf for my Auntie Connie.

This is the closest I could get to the actual color. It is Caron Simply Soft in Violet.

Detail of the seed stitch. I honestly feel that this is one of the most beautiful stitches out there.

Because it is wide and the seed stitch produces a looser fabric, it lays beautifully against a woman's chest.

I hope she likes it.

An Oldie but a Goodie

Tam posted a picture of one of her kitties that looks like Ronnie's long-lost twin, so I thought it would be appropriate to post a picture of Ronnie as reference.

He makes a great model, doesn't he?

While I'm here, I thought I would mention that I am jumping on the Norovember bandwagon. My contribution? A Here Comes the Sun purse. When I finish my aunt's scarf, Scott's watch cap, and my mom's Flora I'll start it. Oh man. So my projects. So little time.
