Just a small post

I bought the Malabrigo Loafers pattern that I've been drooling over for a while, figuring I would get tons of use out of it. I've just about finished a pair to give to my mother for (a late) christmas present, all I really have left to do is weave in the ends. I had to cut the yarn using some nail clippers since I knit them while on a layover at work. I'm considering slightly felting them. They are quite big on me, and my moms feet are TINY. She wears a size 5, I wear about a size 7 and you can see how big they are on my feet.



I am attempting to knit a smaller pair on size 7's, but I've just finished one today and it's not too much smaller. I'll probably finish this darker blue pair, and then figure out which pair to give to my mother after my attempt to felt.


I ordered myself Knitting Classic Style with my 40% off coupon from Barnes & Noble and I can't wait for it to get here! I wanted to get Dream Toys too, but I didn't think I would get as much use out of it as Classic Style, and I'm trying to save money so I guess it's on my wish list until I've got more money. :)

I have two other knitting projects to post, but I can't until I go out to visit Julie next month since I knit them for her for Christmas. :)


Speaking of Christmas, Ronnie and I are getting ready to take down our little Charlie Brown tree my mom got us, so here's a picture of it almost nude! I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Long Time No Knit

I haven't had too much time to knit, but here's what I've got going on now.





I've made it to the 8th block on the Log Cabin. I've taken a little break from it. The tedium is killing me.


I knit these up really fast for the apartment. There is a few more pictures over at my Ravelry account. I still have over a half a ball of yarn left over so I'm debating on what else to knit up with it. I'll probably make some more washcloths, but I'm not sure which pattern to use yet.


Lastly I'm working on a little sweater for Pepito. I noticed when I moved most of my yarn here that I'm in dire of some stash busting so that's what I'm attempting to do. The acrylic (the white) is kind of driving me crazy, I've been using wool pretty consistently lately and this acrylic isn't very soft or nice to work with. I think it's looking pretty decent though.
