I am beyond frustrated with my most current sock knitting endeavor. I am trying the Magic Cast-On from Knitty that Lisa told me about -- which is FUN! But for some reason, I can't seem to get the sock to work. This is largely because I can't decide which pattern to use. I have not had the patience lately to follow a chart and my eyes cross at the k2 sl1 blah blah blah so i'm trying to make up a pattern of my own.
I am certain that it will all turn out fine when I find a rhythm but until then, dear reader, you get to look at the stripey baby sweater I made for a coworker whose baby boy was born at a whopping 10 lbs!! She's a little thing so I cannot imagine. I simply cannot.
Speaking of babies! There will be a new one in my family in April...my brother and his wife (in San Diego) are expecting their first one. I made this cute quilt from a kit I got at JoAnn's. The yellow is a minkie-like really soft fleecey thing, and the striped back is cotton flannel. So soft! Congratulations to them for sure.

I feel terrible now. Isn't it funny what each of us has to overcome to knit sometimes?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the additional aunt duties coming in the spring.
The quilt is awesome! I always wanted to quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have a question- Is the first picture of the socks? If so are the connected or does it have to be seamed? Excuse my ignorance. I love the colors too.
