Selfish socks!
I’ve knit C several pairs of socks before, but this is my first pair of socks!!! I have happy feet! so I remember, these are the tools, etc used. Yarn: Fyberspates Bamboozle, in Foxglove, bought here needle: Addi Lace, 32″ circular US1/2.5mm ridiculously cute stitch markers, bought from Fripperies and Bibelots, and they make me SO happy! I was excited everytime I got to go past a stitch marker, because they’re SO cute! (I bought the minis in stars and hearts, and LOVE them. seriously. go buy some. they’re SO CUTE) thin enough to wear with my sneakers eye of the...

Front: Back: I LOVE them. made in a size 9m, so hopefully he’ll be at least scooting, if not crawling, while wearing these, so his cute little cloth-diapered monster butt will be visible. pattern is based on the Budgie Bloomers (from ravelry) pants… with lots of improvised modifications….
Read MoreOverwhelmed by WIP’s Wednesday…
I had to take a blood test at the Dr this morning, and took some quilty books to look at while waiting for the hour to pass… As I did so, I reminded myself that I have several unfinished projects… I made a list… this is stuff that’s already been cut/started (but just fabric/yarn purchased/saved doesn’t count) it’s a little overwhelming, and on top of the fact that I failed my glucose test, (and therefore have to go back sometime soon for the 4 hour test, which is HORRIBLE), I’m feeling a little overwhelmed (or maybe just whelmed, since it means the...
Read MoreKCWC: Monster butt Longies
I’m *still* waiting for my Ottobres, which I want for D, and the Bean has been such a disaster I’m totally unmotivated to sew for her from her sloper. So I’m knitting another pair of longies for Crockett. I’m using the Budgie Bloomers pattern again, but I think I figured out how to make them into monster butts. Hopefully they’ll be cute. I haven’t decided if I’ll put teeth on or not…

Im preparation for the new arrival…. a pair of wool longies (hopefully a long size 3-6m)… just because, I knitted the Fibonacci sequence in on one leg…. (starting on the left, with the orange: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and then the cuff…) I also drafted out a pair of 3-6m pants, with extra roominess for the cloth diapers, made with flannel Dr Seuss scraps from the back of the pennant quilt. I think they’ll be cute with a dark blue...

Here’s the quilt for our baby boy, as designed by me and the Bean. C bought me an early birthday present, a walking foot, so this was my first time using it. LOVE. here’s the back, pieced with scraps. here’s the oops on the back. just so I don’t get a swelled head. here’s the folded pretty sitting on the porch… and the original idea behind both quilts: I cut all these little triangles off as waste from the roof tops when I made this quilt, (Obvi I’m greedier than Angela, as I kept every little bit of these scraps!) and so I sewed them all...
