New projects



This is a DSi case I am concocting right now. SWS in Natural Earth. I gotta say, I love this yarn. Lovelovelove. Anyway. I'm doing a rectangle in a double knit, cause I was the plushyness for protection, then putting a zipper on the top. Going to put some sort of side pocket on for games as well, but that's more experimentation.



This is Charles's re-done afghan, which I am trying to get done before he leaves for Drexel in a few weeks. I am optimistic. I think it's going to look really cool, I just hope he likes it!

Next up, I have to whip something up for Sean's sister's new baby, and I found some really cute little tops I want to make his nieces, which I am shooting to have ready for xmas. I also want to find a great pattern for Elizabeth's new one, but I am waiting to find out that she is actually pregnant, I don't want to jinx it for them! I'm thinking about doing a Hoover blanket (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall03/PATThoover.html), but doing one side in a self striping, and one in a solid. I've been wanting to make one for awhile, and this gives me an excuse!

Elizabeth may be pregnant again? Yay for them (I think?)!

Have you considered a Mason-Dixon Baby Kimono? That might be an easy/cute one. There's lots of room for personalization/variation, which I like.

The Hoover blanket is one I've always wanted to try.

Hrm, I hadn't thought of that kimono, maybe.

She's not preggers yet, but they are trying, so hopefully soon!

That's happy anyway. I like them :)
