Update

This weekend I whipped up this hat for a friends baby who was born on Friday. Sadly though, the little guy went in for a heart surgery and didn't make it. Why? Why? Why?

This is in Jojoland Wool using the Umbilical Cord Hat from Stitch n' Bitch....

It was such a quick mindless knit i made another yesterday using Lorna's Laces Worsted....

Yarn Pirate Calamity in the Tidal Wave pattern...

Socks that Rock Flower Power in a basic sock pattern....

And my Rusted Root after decreases....

Yarn Pirate Booty Club #2.....

has a arrived in the color called Calamity. It's beautiful! The colors are green, blue, purple and white. 420 yds Superwash BFL. Can someone tell me if I'm right in thinking that this well be self striping??? Pattern ideas? Jaywalkers will work but I'm already making a pair of those. I just got it today so I still have a day or two to decide what pattern to use.

On the Needles and Some Booty!

Here's what came in the mail the other day for the Yarn Pirate Booty Club.....Kneeshighs are the plan. I finished my first Retro Redux Shrug from Lace Style the other day. I'm waiting for someone to be around to take a photo of the finished product. In the meantime, last night I casted on another one in black! It's a quick knit. Easy lace and the end product is cute!!
I planned on knitting the Summertime Tunic for Interweave Knits Summer 2007. But it's so boring! It's just dragging on and on. I have a feeling this will never get finished. Using Cotton Ease.
And here's a Monkey. My first Monkey. Using Cherry Tree Hill in Foxy Lady. I used Size 2 circs on the cuff and will use Size 1 for the foot.
Finally, my first Rockin' Sock Club June 2007. I used the called for pattern on the cuff in size 1 circs. The foot is plain old stockinette! Now I'm casting on the 2nd one. I hope to actually finish before the next round of club yarn comes my way. This was the first sock pattern I used from them. Yea for me!

Booty Club!!

I got in on the Yarn Pirate Sock of the month! What was I thinking? I know i don't need anymore sock yarn but her yarn is beautiful!! I'm already a member of the Rockin' Sock Club. You can never have too much sock yarn, right?

The plan is to get pictures posted of currents WIP's. 3 pairs of socks, baby sweater, Ms. Marigold, Pimlico Shrug from Knit 2 Together, and Retro Redux Shrug Lace Style as well as a few others. I'd also like to post the knit alongs I signed up for on the side but I"m not sure how to post the little icon that goes along with them! So tomorrow I might have pretty pictures to show.
