FOs

I finished the Panini, but not the Rectangula. I ran out of yarn for it and haven't found the color at the store yet. I think I may have to break down and buy it online to finish that stupid thing. The panini is at work. I need to fix the seam at the shoulder. I didn't do such a great job at sewing it together, I guess. *snort*

Right now, I'm working on some baby sweaters. Somewhat long story, but I started the back of one baby sweater in a light blue Simply Soft before we left for FL. We visited with CTM's mom and step-dad and then his dad and step-mom. Well, we arrived in Avon Park Friday late afternoon. Unless you golf, there's N O T H I N G to do there. So, I knitted all day Saturday and at least 4 hours every day until we left on Wednesday to see his dad. Yeah, I got as far as I could with that yarn (yeah ran out again) and then had to go to WalMart to buy something to work on while I was there. I made it all the way to the sleeves of the second sweater before we left. I didn't knit at all when we were at his dad's.

When I'm done with all that, I'm going to make a cardigan coat type thing. Not sure which pattern I will use though.

I am soooooooooooo making these!!

My friend Jen made the Pomatomus socks from Knitty.com in Lorna's Laces shepherd sock in the Seaside colorway. I don't know that I'm a fan of the color, but the pattern is gorgeous! After I finish reading two books, I may start knitting on my commute to work and socks are a perfect small project to take on the bus/train. I bought a sample pack of sock yarn from KnitPicks.com, but I don't think two skeins will be enough to make socks that long. Then again, with my GINORMOUS calves, I may not make them that long to begin with. I don't think I have the patience to try to alter the pattern to fit my calves. No, those aren't my limbs in the picture.

So, as I was wandering around on Knitty.com, I saw these patterns from the current issue that may just have to put on my list of things to make.

Not that I need to add things to my list, but they have interesting patterns.

Yeah, I'm a serious slacker

So, I've made soooooooooo much since I last posted this. I made a shell that I hated out of Micro Spun in turquoise. I made CTM a sweater from some Knit Picks yarn. It's a 3/4 zip sweater. Yeah, you read it right. I put a zipper on a sweater for the BF! *snort* I made many, many, many...many scarves. Too many!!

Right now, I'm trying to destash so I'm making these two patterns out of yarn I already have. I found some nice and easy patterns to convert to the gauge for the yarn I have.

Rectangela - I'm making this in a Simply Soft purple. I thought I would have enough...turns out I didn't. So I had to set it aside until I could get some more to finish it up. It's easy enough to convert to any gauge yarn, which is what I was looking for. Besides, I'm always looking for something to throw on at work because I'm always cold.

I also have Panini on my needles. When I ran out of the yarn for Rectangela, I found another sweater that was easy to convert to this turquoise and chocolate brown boucle I had for a cardi wrap. I can't find the rest of the pattern for the cardi wrap so I had to rip that project out and start on this Panini pattern. I haven't really been knitting too much lately. I'm either too tired or not tired enough, so I've been reading before bed. The new schedule is wearing it's toll on me until CTM gets his work schedule down to a routine.

And I'm not a huge fan of the new late night alarm clock named Missy. *snort*
