But if you're given a ton of rain, why not knit some fishies?
This is the first of a pair of hats for some fraternal twin babies coming soon. The other one will be shades of purple and orange (for the little girl). The pattern is from my LYS - The Knitting Room in East Arlington. They were doing a class with the pattern and although I didn't want to do a class, I had to make the hat!
It's my first ever try at colorwork - I was always intimidated to try it. Ha. Way easy. Like cables, it's another knitter's secret - looks impressive, not so hard. I was hoping to learn by the end of the summer - so what will I try now? Am feeling pretty cocky as I cast on for hat #2....
Which is good because I have 12 babies coming by the fall and gotta get cracking on a whole bunch more baby gifts soon. Can you believe 12 babies??!! By the 10th baby, I'll just be buying them books.
Missed Knitsmiths today - sorry ladies. Had a sick young'un - and especially on Mother's Day, had to be a good Mom and stay home. My husband and I agree that throwing up requires an extra parent.
Given the weather, not driving over might actually have been a good thing anyways. I'm only knitting fishies, don't need to swim as well.
But I will look for Alison's update in a few days and see what cool projects I missed!
In other knitting news, Green Gable #2 is finished and has been worn in public a couple of times already. I love it. But, I haven't taken a photo yet. Will do so next time.
Have begun a way cool lacy Noro Kureyon scarf for a friend - I couldn't get a shot that showed the colors off, so I'll post that later on too.
So, Craig brought sleeping Zoe up to bed and we're going to shoot for a little puke free TV....bye.
