What Am I Knitting Now, you ask?

I'm still working on the shawl, currently on Row 165 of 238. I should be done sometime around December 2035 or so.

I also have a cupcake hat on the needles for Emma - it is a hat that looks like a cupcake and it is damn cute. I may hate the yarn that I have for it though, so who knows.

I am also also knitting a beautiful double sided lace scarf from a pattern written by an amazing person who shall currently remain nameless until she tells me it's okay to name her. I can't wait until it's done so that I can wear it. I'm knitting it out of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in color #609. It is yummy.

Second (and better) pair of socks



Now these socks are knit from sock yarn (yeah, I don't remember the brand) on two circular needles (just one at a time, let's not get ahead of ourselves). I loved knitting on two circular needles and it was MUCH easier than DPNs for me. For one thing, if DD pulled on my needle (not that she would *ever* do such a thing) it wouldn't cause a major catastrophe. I used Cat Bordhi's book "Socks Soar on Two Circulars", and it was easy to understand. The socks are knit from the first pattern in the book.

And, seriously, is my child not the most beautiful child ever?

Well, well, well


I finally remembered to take the pictures off my camera and post. I'm the worst blogger ever. Really.

Here is the very first pair of socks that I ever knit. They are knitted from some kind of sock yarn and from the North Country Baby Sock pattern found on www.knittinghelp.com. They are really cute and Emma has stolen them for her baby.
