Lots of FOs

Firstly, a change to the blog. I'm not really using flickr anymore because they put a limit on how many images you're allowed to have, and that's balls. I'll just provide links to all the images instead. Just click them and don't be lazy :P

Finished a few things.

Finished the baby blanket for Joe and Diana's little one, and I finished the mobile monster bunny cell phone case for Lisa.

I went to the Knitter's Frolic again yesterday. A few good deals, but last year was way better. I didn't pick up a swift like I wanted to, but I did manage to get a nice blocking kit (8 long blocking wires, 4 small ones, and 2 flexible ones, with a package of T pins) for $35. They gave me the wrong kit (the upgraded one) and I didn't notice until I got home, so that was $10 I saved.

I also got a nice bag of 5 chunky weight Noro Silk Gardens for $35, as well as a new row counter, and a nice bottle of knitted garment shampoo. Nice haul.

I'm going to pick up a swift for my birthday from Linda's on Tuesday before knitting night starts. Looking forward to it. :)

Stash!

Picked up a bit more yarn today. Not anything too too yummy, but definitely some things that I am excited about.

Picked up 4 ginormous balls of acrylic yarn in red, green, white, and navy. Christmas stockings! I figured that for something like that, I wouldn't need anything fancy. Might as well buy in bulk so I can make as many as I can for as cheap as possible.

Secondly, I picked up 4 skeins of Stretch Socks by Patons. I got 20% off, so it was a smart move :> I'll be making my first real pair of socks with that stuff. I'll have to consult my new 2 at a time socks book for it, but that's all good.

I'm taking the baby dress and booties off my queue and replacing them with a simple and cozy baby kimono. Mark and Nicole's baby would be better off with a machine washable item instead of super delicate wash material that'll definitely get ruined by food or poopies. Thinkin' ahead! Anyway, I got some Baby Jacquards Easter Basket for that project. It'll essentially be the same thing I'm making for Nicholas, only smaller.

FO - Green Fingerless Gloves

Fastest project I ever made. I knitted this with the green Perth I got at the Stitch 'n Pitch two days ago. Started it yesterday, finished it today. Took only about 6 hours total. The end result is wicked cozy :) It's definitely a pattern I'd consider using again in the future.

More WIPs

Started a sweater for Nicholas:


And am almost finished the hat for Hong:


Still working on Kat's purse.

Got some new yarn in my stash too! Got these yummies at the Stitch 'n Pitch:


I have plans for the sexy green yarn, but haven't decided what to do with the soft touch yarn. I also got 3 more skeins of that beautiful malabrigo merino wool. I'm going to use that to either make myself a shrug, or make myself a winter set. (hat, scarf, mitts)

What do you think I should make?
