notes to self

Dear Self,

February Lady WIPNo, you may not start a shawl. You have two sweaters on the needles right now (remember that other one? Hmm?), and the laptop bag, and if you cast on another giant project you will go cukoobananas. Put that laceweight down right now, missy.

You may, however, cast on a new pair of socks if you want. I am not entirely cruel, and that yarn you got for that sekrit project is not going to work for said project but would make a lovely pair of socks.

Oh, and remember: you have 14 swatches to knit for TKGA! Yeah, you were hoping I wouldn’t say anything, weren’t you?

Love,

The sane part of your brain.


In other news, I made Monkey socks! They are, well, Monkey-like. But they fit! Huzzah!

MONKEYS.MONKEY.

Tiny, tiny hats

Preemie HatI joined a knitting circle, and I’m super excited about it. They have a focus on charity projects, and so I knitted a teeny tiny preemie hat.

The pattern is Bev’s Baby Ribs and it’s just a little k2,p2 ribbed hat. Still, I quite enjoyed the company and the knitting! I didn’t finish up on Monday, so I finished it as “homework.” I wonder how many hats I can get out of one skein of yarn….

Oh, and I tried the Baylene needles. I like them! They’re grippy and flexible. They worked great for this project; I wonder if they would hold up to, say, sock knitting.

Pattern: Bev’s Baby Ribs
Yarn: I Love This Yarn! Sport Weight, soft blue
Needles: size 3 DPNs

And now, I’m off to figure out the difference between tags and categories. I feel a strange deja vu – yesterday I figured out the difference between sets and collections on Flickr, so.
