Feelin stuck right now. I really want to knit this baby bonnet for a friend but everything I knit it up in is just not workin for me. I am going to go thru more of my stash tomorrow and see if I can find a different yarn to work with. Or at least some new options.
On other project news. I have successfully completed a pair of baby booties for baby and going to start another pair tonight.
Last weekend we headed over east of the mountains to do a little skiing. Kids were at sitters house and we had a blast on the slopes. I just took up skiing last year and love it. I did bring my knitting bag with me so I was able to finish up some more of the fingerless mitts and start more too. I also happened to head into a cute little town that had a great yarn shop. I could have spent at least an hour or more in there touching, looking, and smelling (yes I smell yarn) the yarn. With two kids in tow that were hungry that wasn't an option. I did pick up some baby yarn Plymouth Oh My. There was also some chunky Malabrigo that I couldn't resist. Now if I can come up with some projects for them all will be well. And I think I have just found the perfect pattern. It's called Cherry Garcia.....
I think it's going to be perfect!! And for the super soft baby yarn some more booties......
So the next event that we have to look forward to is the Madrona Fiber Arts Festival. I did not register for any classes but will head down for a few hours to see the market. It's always fun to go see what else is out there. I am going to get a babysitter for the kiddos and head down with a good friend of mine who is well versed in yarn. You can find her blog here. She is one of my closest friends and since she owns the LYS that I go to it should be even more fun!
I am behind in making a present that I should have started a month ago. I had a special request for some slippers.......hmmmm. Not really something that I make. She said socks would be fine too. Her birthday is right around the corner so they may have to be a quick knit or late. I am shooting for the quick knit right now. I am also thinking about making a lap blanket for a good friend of mine that has been in and out of the hospital lately. So as always many more projects than I can work on in a day and then there are my responsibilities like teaching, laundry and feeding my family.....and cleaning on occasion. Tomorrow is marathon laundry day. Wish me luck. Too bad I can't fold and put it away and knit at the same time.
Happy knitting.
