I’ve actual gotten a little bit of knitting in this last little while. I finally finished the Ladybug longies that were driving me crazy.
The magic looping wasn’t all that bad in the end, although I think I knit quicker and more evenly using my 12″ addis. I probably just need some practice. Anyway, I think I was so flustered by the whole thing that I mis-measured and they fit for just right now (they were meant to be big so that little A could wear them through the whole winter, oh well, I just don’t feel like re-doing them).
I also finished these ballerina slippers for my mom, I think they will be a Christmas present to keep her feet toasty when she’s at dialysis.
I’m so pleased with them
Now that those are off my needles, I’m not sure what to work on next. Nothing I have in my stash currently is inspiring me much right now, I think I’m just so impatient for a bunch of stuff that I have coming to start in September. I want to join in to a TIG KAL (starts in September) and knit a pinwheel sweater for A in the lindon Alice that came recently (which reminds me – I need to order a couple more skeins). I joined the SKA sockdown ‘09 (also starts in September) which I’m so excited about. I’m also waiting for the first TIG sock yarnista club shipment to arrive as well as the July selection which I didn’t get in on early enough so I had to order some for myself (the Azalea orchid). Sigh. I hate waiting but writing it all out here makes me worried that I’ve probably bitten off way more that I can possibly chew, er, knit. Bring on September!!!
