Orange you glad you knit?
April Project Spectrum...hit me this morning...full force.
Lovely blossoms...
The Right Vintage...
Enjoy a few good belly laughs with a good read...
My Sunshine Girl and some new Tropical Tang yarn...
A good companion for Beltway traffic...nothing like you and the Kwisatz Haderach among the sea of brake lights. Everyone should read this book (and series). I am a fanatic. seriously. be afraid.
It's a good start for this month, non? I'll be documenting a day in my life...for April's Spectrum. Stay tuned.
I've been working on the Cutaway...
It's really a great knit and one I can't seem to stop knitting on...I'm scouring the known universe for a button...a shell button with a pink hue. I've noticed a lot of shell buttons have a blue hue. hm. Hopefully this isn't going to be a holy grail item. You know the one where you spend your entire life, with the yarn swatch hoping to find the perfect button? But what a worthy cause, eh?
Slowly but surely...Your Tax Dollars at Work Sock #2
This...
Is going to be knit up into these...
Mad Props to ebay seller Kbrece...her yarn is awesome. I can't wait to knit with it...
Sheeps and Wools? You ask how many days until I get to see my sister?
Well, it just so happens that I do know!
Thirty-two (32) whole days.
yay!
32 days!! Crap I need to knit away some of the stash to make room for a few more goodies. Though this year I'm not carrying my credit card. Way too dangerous.
See you in 32 days!!!

Yellow and orange, baby. Those socks are going to be gorgeous.

The orangey yarn is so sorbety delicious! The socks are going to be awesome too.
Mmm...champagne!
I love the rosiness of the Cutaway. Very bee-you-ti-ful. As for the buttons...I bet I can find something for you here. Send me details as to size, etc. and I'll look for you, Ms. H!
Posted by: Becky at April 3, 2006 01:58 PMAh, look at that adorable little flower! That is so cute! Did Pixie make that at school? The new yarn is fabu. Definitely creamsicle goodness right there! Can't wait to see the socks knit up. That is a perfect pattern for that yarn ;)

I'm in the crew coming up with Jen of JenLa to MSWF. I have yarn from the same ebay seller, kbrece, and I love it. It's in a pink colorway but it's knitting up quite lovely.
