Goodness. It's been a week since I've posted. Well let's play ketchup!
The knitting is going. I went to Butterfly twice this weekend. Once to shop, once to sit and knit. I just love hanging out there. Lovely family. Kim knows exactly how to hook me. Sock yarn. I went in to get a couple more balls of the GGH Bali (another baby sweater, maybe):
I left with that and the coolest sock yarn I've seen in a while!
Kim was telling me about it and where it's from... but I wasn't listening.... it had me at pink and green. :)
I also picked up this project bag:
It's perfect for my train projects. So much better than the bag I was using.See the yarn coming out? The entire baby sweater is in there.
The baby sweater is coming along:
Special thanks to the women of the MIT Stitch 'n Bitchfor helping me with the pattern. They were right.
Bought two buttons for the sweater on Friday. Little pearly things:
Lousy pic, I know.Hubby McGillicutty is at a business dinner, so I've settled in to finish this sweater. It's gonna be a project!
Oh yeah. I now have camo pants. Don't judge! Every girl needs a pair, even if she lives in the 'burbs. I saw them and they reminded me of the fatigues I had when I was young. My Marine father bought them for me at an Army/Navy store. I remember his shock tinged with pride when I asked if I could get a pair.
Ok. So these are capris and they have girly ties.I'm the daughter of a Marine. I'm badass regardless.
Semper Fi.

is that a Della Q bag? I got one from a swap partner. The sweater looks good!
It is a Della Q. Good eyes, my friend.
Love the camo pants. Baby sweater is too intricate for me! Haddy's Mom
I love that sock yarn ... the colors are perfect for the summer. And that new little bag for commuter knitting is great. You can't have to many knitting bags BTW. I have a few that I keep with a project to grab on my way out the door. ;-)
So glad you're happy with the baby sweater too. It's beautiful so far. It is going to be so well loved and cute with a baby inside.
Good eyes or a sad lack of a life, you choose ;)
Oh, so many of my personal acquisitions have been born out of the love for the pink and green.
The baby sweater is perhaps one of your best works, I think. It's so intricate and the color is so presh. Those MIT vimmens know vut vuz up!
That baby sweater is amazing! What pattern is it?
The sock yarn is so pretty.
