Stitchin' and Bitchin' at my place on Saturday! The girls brought it from Borders to me since I'm the lonely stranded mama lately.
What would my blog post be today without an Ode to Jess's awesome shirt! I laughed for like 5 minutes straight.
As I mentioned before, I sort of took a little detour and went into a bit of a sock frenzy since my friend gave me her pattern to try out. I started out working on socks in the adult size for my DD ( since she wears the SAME SIZE AS ME!! ) using Knits Picks merino sock yarn. Theeeeeeen...
I decided I wanted to try it in the Toddler size. So I started knitting a pair for a friends son using some black and white Lion Wool that I had on hand for another project LOL! I finished the one (pictured here on my 9 mo dd -it's a tad large but oh well, gets the point accross) and started doing the second one trying to use a new techneque for weaving in the color changes as I go but apparently "Go with whatcha know" should be my motto. Needless to say it didn't work out too well and I ended up taking it all out. Well, that pissed me off so I then decided I should start a NEW pair in a DIFFERENT size. LOL! Soooooooooooooooo...
I moved on to the infant size. Yes people, I'm feeling a little indecisive these days ;-) I grabbed the ball of left over Lorna's Laces Merino that I had used for Na'omi's Apron Top and started whipping 'em up. I was able to get them done in no time since they were so small. the first of the pair was finished last night and I did the other one this morning. They came out so adorable!! I love this pattern! I opted for the alternate toe choice on this pair. The first one I finished ( black and white) used the kitchener stitch to graft the toe closed. I really like the way the alternate toe pattern came out.
