And we’re back…

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

After 3 months of being MIA, I’m not sure where to start. It’s like there has been a lot going on, but not really anything. Let’s start with the knitting.

There hasn’t been much. I fiddled around with different stitch patterns for a scarf for D2, ripping out several after getting several inches in. I finally settled on one and have worked on it when the mood struck. It’s still not done, she can wear it next year. Surely I’ll have it done by then, right? I’ll get a pic of it when it’s done, or when the mood strikes, whichever comes first.

The latest issue of Creative Knitting had a maryjane baby bootie in it that was just so cute I had to make one.

I just used scrap stuff I had laying around, the white being some Red Heart Soft and the red being some Wool-Ease. No one is going to get it (I just wanted to make it for the hell of it) so I didn’t care what I used and I didn’t try to find a button to put on the strap. I’ll say this: if I’d had to make this on one straight needle I think I would have broken a wrist or some fingers. This definitely calls for dpns or a circ for magic loop type knitting.
