Good morning, mamas!

I'm working on more kirkyard :drool:

Morning!

Cute title Tina!!

I'm taking the day off and spending it with my family. We had a healthy breakfast... and now we're going out for doughnuts with the kids. :giggle:

Around 1:00, my friend Kelsey is coming over to stay with the kids and DH and I are having a few hours to have a date day. :carrot: I'm so excited!!

[snappysara]

Sounds like a nice day Molly :) Have fun!

[iheartruiner]

From Yesterday...

Love that type of ruffle! What colorway is that??...its gorgeous!

The colorway is Harvest by Nurturing Threads :)

:thud: really? anything! i used up my WT on this slot today because i didn't gauge but didn't want to rip it out. It was suppose to be Myla ruffle capris for my DD. I would take any plied base but cestari would be the tops :goodvibes:

LOL Myla Ruffle. :roflmbo:

well, they are lovely Monica. And I'm NOOOOOT a ruffle girl. I don't like those "feet eaters" as Amy called them :roflmbo: but the simple ones are okay. I don't do overstated. I don't even wear any color other then black or grey.

Yeah, I do wear other colors, but I hate girly. I hardly wear make up.

PERFECT!!
Thanks! :hugegrin:

[iheartruiner]

DBF has to work from 2-10pm. So I'll be lucky if we even...well, you know...He has pretty much turned me down the last 2 days in row. Which is really bizarre. :headscratch:

[devholan]

good morning
Today should be an interesting Valentine's Day. I think we're going to run around looking for last minute stuff for my DH's ski trip tomorrow. (He goes to Montana every year w/ some guy friends.) Then my sister's flight arrives around 7, so I'm driving down to Greenville to pick her up. She offered to watch the baby while DH and I go out but Jessica's not great on her own that late, so maybe we'll just grab a drink?

And I definitely want to work on the Ravensong today! For a medium pair of shorties, how many short rows do y'all work in? I have 3 in and the pattern calls for 5 spread out. Does that sound about right?

I usually do either 3 or 4 unless baby has a large rise for the hips/waist. And sometimes to get a better fit I've done 1 up higher and gathered the other 2-3 at the bottom of the bum.

[devholan]

Btw, did you see Aimee's (ladybenz) HC stocking? Her grand opening is at 10: http://hyenacart.com/beauxbottoms/

oh yeah! I was loving that newbie set. :drool: No newbie's here!!

[netgirl1001]

gmorning..

Her store look really good, the diapers looks squishy and the woolies is just TDF!

[Shaineinok]

Anything worth stalking today?

Dh got me a laptop for the kitchen so I am fixing his favorite breakfast. Biscuits and gravy with bacon. :)

[devholan]

oh yeah! I was loving that newbie set. :drool: No newbie's here!!

Well definitely not if your BF is turning you down. :giggle: Maybe he's got something special up his sleeve for tonight?

[devholan]

Paula, you're up early!
And Shaine, that sounds like a popular breakfast here in the Southeast.

[ladybenz]

Good morning...
I slept in. :) sort of. THe boys woke up to nurse around 5 am but I wasn't ready to get up, so I put them back in their cribs and we all went back to sleep. :bliss:

The most wonderful thing happened yesterday. A DS mama contacted me and told me she had 7 ounces od run fox run on BFL and offered it to me. :yay: It totally made my day.

I'm a little nervous about my stocking this morning, but excited too. I didn't end up listing the rainbow longies because I didn't get a chance to make the diaper to go with them. So, I'm trying to decide whether to do another stocking this month, or hold onto them until fall.

No big plans for today except to clean house (there is a huge pile of sewing scraps under the kitchen table) :blush: and work on the gwion shorties. We went out for sushi last night, the first time I had had sushi since before I was pregnant. We had a blast. Roe and Joe sat up like big boys in the high chairs and they ate sushi! I gave them unagi, and they loved it! They also tried the pickled ginger (loved it) and the wasabi (they weren't quite sure what to think of that) and because the restaurant is actually a thai/chinese/japanese place and not strictly sushi, they gave us a bowl of those fried noodles you get with chinese takeout, and the boys ate way too many of those. But it was fun. :)

I wish I could have seen them eating sushi! They're so gorgeous.

Btw, I love how Thunder turned out. As for the rainbow longies, why don't you show us a pic?

i'll be lucky if he doesn't try :giggle2:

i did see her store and i LOVE the design! everything looks great! good luck today.

we are off to take the kids to the Children's Museum.

no special plans, just hanging with the babes today!

Dev, I do the zig zag short rows and then an additional 2 sets. :blush: I like LOTS of short rows.

Can someone help?? My peppermint patty custom is for board shorts for summer. The LO is 3 weeks right now and measuring 16" waist and rise and 6.5" inseam. What would you size this up to for summer?

I want these, but they are too big for DD :( http://hyenacart.com/beauxbottoms/index.php?c=0&p=55428

[devholan]

Heather, the 16/16 sounds like the newborn is quite big! I have little experience in predicting but I'd say that with summer 3-4 months away, that baby will probably be in 18/18. And if not quite 18 on the rise, I think that a 5-6 month old baby will have big time growth spurts, so a folded-down waist won't stay folded down for long.

yea, I am pretty sure the rise / waist should go to 18. I am not sure about the inseam though. I almost think it should stay at 7 since they are board shorts. Or even 6 just in case he doesn't grow length wise that much.

[devholan]

anyone want to see Ravensong shorties WIP? I had to scrap the first version b/c I was knitting the waistband while we were out looking at homes and I made several errors.

Here's v2: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/devholan/Diapers/DSCN3317.jpg

[gracecody]

Good morning! I bought the Tree Huggers. :mrgreen: I can't believe those beauties are coming to live here. Annie is so close to waking so it should work out great -- I wouldn't have her crawling in them.

I finished her longies last week and have been very slow about starting my next project, which is an a-line Juliette skirty with some Elliebelly. I am just on the waist yet.

Life has been waaaaay stressful. We are going through the roughest time so far in our marriage (been married six years). So many challenges. So I'm just drained. The challenges aren't about our marriage per se, just crap we have to deal with together.

Annie learned how to say "Mih" yesterday for milk (she had been doing the baby sign) and now she wants to nurse ALL the time because of the novelty of self-serve. LOL. It's very cute.

Good Morning ladies. Happy valentines day.
I made cinnamon sticky buns for breakfast and have "best baked beans in the west" in my crockpot cooking. I have plans to work on the shorties I started today.
Is anyone on Crunchy Cooperative board? I can't get on for the last 2 days it keeps giving me an error message. Anyone else having problems?

Good morning! Mmmm, you have inspired me to go down and start something special since Annie and I are up and Daddy and big brother are still sleeping. Those beans sound yummy!!

I just checked and the CC forum is coming up for me.

[devholan]

yea, I am pretty sure the rise / waist should go to 18. I am not sure about the inseam though. I almost think it should stay at 7 since they are board shorts. Or even 6 just in case he doesn't grow length wise that much.

I think 6 might be almost to the ankles. Would that be ok? I bought these for Jessica back in Dec: http://hyenacart.com/prod_details.php?id=80477&vid=2324

The inseam is more like 3" and they hit her around the calf when she first started wearing them as capri's at about 6 months old.

The mama could always whip stitch the hem if they're too long.

Thank you. I love that Ravensong BTW. The blue trim looks so pretty with it too.

[gracecody]

Hmm that is weird I will have to try on a different browser.

I tried on Firefox.

[ladybenz]

ooh Dev, the ravensong is gorgeous!!!! Love it!

Teresa, now *I'm* the only one who owns RFR on BFL!!! :yay: Roberta was so sweet--she knew I'd love it. :) And think how cute my little Romanator is going to look in that colorway. YAY!

Um short rows... basically I work one set pretty close to the waist band, go down a few rows, work another set, go round a few more rows, work a third set, and then check the difference between the rise in front and rise in rear. I aim for about an inch difference, so if there is less than an inch difference after three sets of short rows, I add another set. And I work the first set to two stitches before the marker, the middle set(s) to five stitches before the marker, and the last set to two stitches before the marker, so I end up with a little more roundness in the booty that way.

So, I am learning every day that boys will stun and amaze you with the depths of disgustingness they will sink to for a laugh. Joel has a cold this morning, runny nose etc. He just leaned over like he was going to give me a kiss, blew his nose in my mouth, and then started laughing and crawled away. It's like they are BORN knowing how to gross you out.

[devholan]

So pretty :wub: Where'd you get that trim?

thanks! the trim is from an LYS. I'll look up the label as soon as my DD stops trying to climb the coffee table.:giggle:

How are you feeling today?

[Mommyk8]

I tried on Firefox.

I tried on IE and Google Chrome. Firefox was corrupted on this computer and won't reload. I will have to try the other computer. At least it keeps me from adding to my Micknitz order. LOL

I feel totally better today! Stomach flu sucks, but thankfully it doesn't last too long. *Whew*

Oh they are cute! The short rows might look better after you block them. I have been lucky that way a couple times.

Thanks and I hope so. The holes aren't really very noticable but you can see where I purled back. I am having problems with my purl tension, apparently.

Morning!! :wave: and Happy Valentineès Day!

Today it is going to be nice and sunny here on the west coast and we are planning to take Anni to the park and go for a walk down at the waterfront. Then we are going to a potluck dinner with a bunch of friends and their families.

I got my Neverland for my next proj. in the mail yesterday! So excited. :bliss:

Thanks, Mol! I was up with Josie most of the night...

Have fun today! We might go to town with my mom today - and then I'm not sure what we are doing tonight.

anyone want to see Ravensong shorties WIP? I had to scrap the first version b/c I was knitting the waistband while we were out looking at homes and I made several errors.

Here's v2: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/devholan/Diapers/DSCN3317.jpg
Looking good, Dev!

Thank you, LOL. I am bummed that I missed the MM trim stocking yesterday. Hopefully my LYS has the same one you got (or something similar). :)

I feel totally better today! Stomach flu sucks, but thankfully it doesn't last too long. *Whew*
I too missed the MM trim. We need Marr Haven though...Glad you are feeling better!

Here is my WIP Capris. It's Sugarbubbie's Coral Reef. I won't show the back because the short rows - OH!!! the short rows :dontlikeit:

http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc220/DSForSale/knittingprojects003-4.jpg
Are those your first? They look great! I just finished my first short rows, and they aren't too pretty, either :giggle: .

Beemer Knits has some pretties up. I think DH wants to get me the rainbows for Valentine's Day, LOL http://hyenacart.com/Beemerknits/

FROM YESTERDAY

oh. yeah. gentle...be gentle. :chuckle:

i don't think temperature matters as much as not mixing the combo of heat, acid and movement. heat doesn't matter alone, movement doesn't matter alone. together = felting.

actually you want to make sure the water is at least 180 that way the dye strikes the yarn and it actually helps with exhausting it. I only do my dyes for about 20 min tops.


yay for hiking! I can always get Addi's for you on Sunday when I go downtown. My sister is visiting. In the mail on Monday means you'll have them on Tuesday. How's that for a personal shopping service? :giggle2: No mail on monday holiday! :mrgreen:

OH no! so sorry, I didn't see your post before I posted the link. :cry: It was storybook by DBK and Mary bought it! :roflmbo: I am such an enabler! Storybook is sooo :drif: I know I just got it in the mail. :mrgreen:

Heres my completed vday capris that I finally got a better pic of. The pink isnt so bright IRL. The malabrigo was so nice to knit with it and it didnt pill too badly after one wear like PW does. cuuuute!!!

good morning
Today should be an interesting Valentine's Day. I think we're going to run around looking for last minute stuff for my DH's ski trip tomorrow. (He goes to Montana every year w/ some guy friends.) Then my sister's flight arrives around 7, so I'm driving down to Greenville to pick her up. She offered to watch the baby while DH and I go out but Jessica's not great on her own that late, so maybe we'll just grab a drink?

And I definitely want to work on the Ravensong today! For a medium pair of shorties, how many short rows do y'all work in? I have 3 in and the pattern calls for 5 spread out. Does that sound about right? I usually do a zig zag and then 3-4 short rows.



Can someone help?? My peppermint patty custom is for board shorts for summer. The LO is 3 weeks right now and measuring 16" waist and rise and 6.5" inseam. What would you size this up to for summer?
Um I would size up to Med. I did that with Matthew. He was born end of Jan and all board shorts I made him were Med except 1 pair. They actually all fit him now and he is 17 rise 20 hip.

Here's v2: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/devholan/Diapers/DSCN3317.jpg lovely!!

Good Morning ladies. Happy valentines day.
I made cinnamon sticky buns for breakfast and have "best baked beans in the west" in my crockpot cooking. I have plans to work on the shorties I started today.
Is anyone on Crunchy Cooperative board? I can't get on for the last 2 days it keeps giving me an error message. Anyone else having problems?
I was on last night and have not had any problems.

[shandi]

Morning mamas :wave: Have a Happy Valentines Day with your loved ones :wub:

Just popping in to say hi since we won't be here this weekend, we are leaving to visit my grandparents up-island for the weekend :)
Then we are going to stay the night in a oceanfront cabin, it's our romantic V-day with the kiddos :giggle:
It's supposed to be really nice weather wise, and there is a beautiful sand beach so that will be fun!

Joanna I will wave at you when we go by :wave: we are going to Courtenay and then staying in Parksville :goodvibes:

Gaia II is coming with me so hope to get some knitting done!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY LADIES :WUB:

I have never been to Canada on the west coast. I Have though on the east coast and know they are fluent in French over there. So it is the same on the west coast?

And the scrappies are gorgeous. Are they a custom, or are they going up on your HC?

Morning!! DH took DD1 to the grocery store and DD2 is napping. I'm all by myself. Considering I haven't showered since Wednesday I think I'm going to take a long one and actually shave my legs!!!

silly husband

I can tell you that my IL's are in Ontario (TO) which is Mid-West and it's not a totally French province. Many people in Toronto have only a bit of knowledge of French. Only in Quebec will you find French more prevalent with some people not speaking English. I've been to PEI and the same was true there.

lol we technically we didn't eat until closer to 5. But in order to get in there you have to get there early. Madison had to go pee right before we got our food and when I walked up there the lobby was already packed with people and it was only 5pm. So we figured if we got there are 4 and we waited 5 min to be seated and then took another 10-15 to see what we wanted order drinks etc that we should be eating by 5 and we were. We were home by 6-30.

I put them up in my store

hey there mama's i am a bit of a recent lurker on this thread, i really just looove looking all your pics :)

i am a newbie knitter... and i had a question for you all.. i am knitting a hat, i think on tens, w/ a super long cord.. my problem is, when i stop, and try to get the stitches back on the needle like the tenth one back is super tight.. and i can barely get it on the needle, then its tight for a couple stitches, then they're fine.. i have noticed if right from the get go if i put as many on the needle at once (the tenth-ish one it still tight) but once i get it on and put a bunch of other ones on too then i don't run into the problem as often, i hope that made sense, anyone experience this before? any tips?

thanks!

Are you knitting on circular needles? What is the length of the cord in between the needles?

they are circular, the cord is 20 inches, i am not knitting tight.. when i started i could barely move the yarn..so i have made muuuch progress.. but its like when i set it down the tension re-allocates and then adjust to the size of the cord, and then when they have to stretch out to go over the needles again it takes the "slack" from the ones a handful of stitches back then its a pain in the tush to get those on..

I don't post much on DS, but Paula told me about this thread, so I thought I'd take a peek. Wow, gorgeous wool everyone is posting!

I have a billion woolie things to do today. I have 3 pairs of knit shorties to put finishing touches on. One pair is Munki Sushi. :) Then, I have to block and take pics for tomorrows stocking. Then, I have 3 pairs of crocheted longies in mind that I want to get going on for my own dd. She gets mostly crocheted stuff since it takes me WAY less time to crochet than knit.

Other than that, I have a laundry mountain calling my name....

I think you might be using too large circulars... most adult head circumferences are 20 inches plus, so you should probably use 16" circs to begin, then when you start your decreases you'll need to move to double point needles....

If you have time post a pic....

I agree, I think you should use 16's. Get some 40" ones and learn magic loop, then you don't need a bunch of different sized circs and dpns. I love magic loop!

hiya ladies!

busy day as usual here dh is working so its just me and the kids, still plugging along on the co-op been filling 1/2 oz bottles this morning 150 down 150 left to go and then i will start some big bars and then work on the 700+sample bars after that whew hoping to get some of these knocked out today

[gracecody]

I left to have breakfast and play with the kiddos for a bit and got waaaay behind! Was hoping I could keep up today!

Here is my WIP Capris. It's Sugarbubbie's Coral Reef. I won't show the back because the short rows - OH!!! the short rows :dontlikeit:

http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc220/DSForSale/knittingprojects003-4.jpg

Those are beautiful; you are doing a great job. I ripped out my short rows four times in the longies I just finished. I guess I went into it thinking I would use this pair just as an experiment to figure out short rows and gusset. But the yarn finally started getting so fuzzy from working it over and over that I finally had to just leave it and move on. :giggle:

Good Morning from the newbie! But at least a have a sweet avitar now :)

Oh my, that IS a sweet avatar. :wub:

Thanks! Ah man, I'm going to miss Necessitae tonight. :fit:

Necessitae is the 15th right? Or did I miss something? And when did all that MM yarn stock? That day and an hour or whatever it is called looks so pretty. I love seeing what Morwenna throws up 7 minutes before stocking time LOL. I am totally last minute too so that is what I would be doing.

we are leaving to visit my grandparents up-island for the weekend :)
Then we are going to stay the night in a oceanfront cabin, it's our romantic V-day with the kiddos :giggle:

Some alone time...how nice! And shaving...all I can say is, having a shower where kids are not shrieking and slamming their fingers in drawers and I am about to have a heart attack from the stress of it sounds really nice. :)

I've tried to get polliwogs at every stocking for over 6 months... never...

Me too, I have totally given up. And now she says she's going to scale back even more.

Her dad would take her on Sat and sometimes if I was lucky overnight but rarely did. It was tough. Even now with DH working out of town 4 days a aweek I am still *a single parent* but I have my mom and sis here if I really need a break. Usually I drop them off and go knit at knit club. :blush:

[TaraDee]

okay, ladies I'm going to shower, its official, I stink like baby throw up everywhere.... I'm off and since I'm going to shave my legs, its going to take awhile!

:roflmbo: :roflmbo:
you sound like me :) minus the baby throwup

Good luck :thumbsup:

OK West coast canadians mamas.. Dh thinks that ALL canadians are French.. can someone school him and tell him this is not so?? or is it?

I have never been to Canada on the west coast. I Have though on the east coast and know they are fluent in French over there. So it is the same on the west coast?

No, not all Canadians are French. The east/east coast is more french speaking than the west coast for sure, but even then not everyone is fluent. I would love to be fluent in french however, but i found french a little difficult in high school. :blush: Spanish is WAYYYY easier imo.

So... my little baby.. is now an anry toddler.. :giggle2:

last night he would not leave the dog alone.. he would walk behind her and hold her tail and she would walk and he would still be holding on and growling at her.. lol.. so she would finally sit down.. so then he would clomb on her and then decided that she made a great step stool.. He climbed onto the couch!!! :eek: And oh he thought that was so funny.. I would take him down and move him and he would beeline for it again. I finally had to make the dog move.. and he still tried to climb on the couch. Didn't make it.. legs are quite long enough to throw up there, I give him a week. :giggle2:

Our dog is a saint though.. she will just lay there and take it but she did warn him last night when he tugged a little hard with putting her mouth on his hand as a warning. She's a bird dog so she is very gentle with her mouth.

[aidan_madisons_mom]

OK I need to get off for a bit. Need to go get DH his gift and then go see Denise at knitclub. :yay:

[gracecody]

Okay, the kids are at each other and I've had enough so I'm going to go put dh in charge of them and get in a little knitting time. :)

Morning!! :wave: and Happy Valentineès Day!

Today it is going to be nice and sunny here on the west coast and we are planning to take Anni to the park and go for a walk down at the waterfront. Then we are going to a potluck dinner with a bunch of friends and their families.

I got my Neverland for my next proj. in the mail yesterday! So excited. :bliss:

Lisa, I got the burgandy color yesterday. I will have plenty if you want that color?

That would be great! Did you get 4oz?

[jelybean333]

:giggle2: I am like that too.. I cannot remember the last time I shaved.. :blush: I think it was Aug or Sept.. whenever the last time I wore shorts was. :roflmbo:

Me too I think it was when I last wore a dress since I don't wear shorts. :giggle2: :giggle2: Anyway a very long time. :giggle2: :giggle2: :roflmbo: :roflmbo:

Happy V-Day ladies!

I am working 3 projects at the moment,
girly scrappy shorties, at the legs, fishbowl longies at short rows, sugarplum skirtie, cast on.

[MicrobioMommy]

Feeling any better Lisa? Are you going for any of the SugarBubbie tomorrow? I can't decide if I like Treasure or Aquatic Dreams better :giggle:

[Lyttlewon]

We went out for sushi last night, the first time I had had sushi since before I was pregnant. We had a blast. Roe and Joe sat up like big boys in the high chairs and they ate sushi! I gave them unagi, and they loved it! They also tried the pickled ginger (loved it) and the wasabi (they weren't quite sure what to think of that) and because the restaurant is actually a thai/chinese/japanese place and not strictly sushi, they gave us a bowl of those fried noodles you get with chinese takeout, and the boys ate way too many of those. But it was fun. :)

DS loves sushi. He only eats California rolls but loves the sticky rice.

Thanks and I hope so. The holes aren't really very noticable but you can see where I purled back. I am having problems with my purl tension, apparently.

It will get better. Have you knit flat a lot? Knitting a soaker or something that has flat knitting will help you practice more than short rows.

Thanks! Ah man, I'm going to miss Necessitae tonight. :fit:
How pretty! Is that the Wooly Wonder pattern? :) I agree, the SR look better after blocking. I always hate mine before blocking. :blush:

Necessitae is tomorrow.

What brand of diapers does Bear wear? I have a hard time finding large fitteds that are truly large. I have a MMOS and a Firefly that both actually fit.

I need some help ladies. I did a FFS yymn slot on the ffs forum but the mama who won doesnt know much about yarn and wants to get something girly that isnt going to break the bank. Does anyone have links to instock yarn thats under 25? About 3.5-4oz. Just no 1 ply purewool.

We're undergoing a stash makeover soon...he's in medium clovers and finally outgrowing them. I'd move to large in those, except, I prefer the fleece over the velour in that diaper and she's stopped making them. He has a few clothmo 3s (love 'em...hard to come by) and a few scuttlebutts (love 'em) and my large fireflies (which I adore...but the elastic is all but blown...so I don't use them. :( Oh, and MMOS...love them...not a huge fan of OS though...we just don't need the extra snaps etc....

Tabitha has some in FSOT, I don't know how much is sold but .. here it is
http://www.diaperswappers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=639081

[devholan]

I have to tell you, I really love the Beaux Bottoms. I have a few of the one-sizes. Jessica has chunky thighs and is close to the top of the growth chart for height and weight + a long rise. In GMs I had to get hip snap covers so that she can wear them w/o red marks.:blush: Even with the new Bububebe (which I really like), we're on the last snaps on the hip.

In the Beaux Bottoms we have plenty of room w/ the bottom (thigh) snap and lots of room with the top (waist) snap. They're the only diaper besides our snappiables that I think will be truly one-sized for us as Jessica grows. And bamboo and hemp are my favorite combo. They're more absorbent than anything we have in a fitted. (Might even be on par w/ the Sbish but I haven't wanted to leave them on her that long.)

[~Peach~]

Ok so she is looking for colorways with pinks purples blues and teals.

[Shaineinok]

Will keep an eye out for you Jen.

I am in the mood to buy some yarn but can't find any. Pathetic no?

[devholan]

Jen, you could shop around here: http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/ Their prices look pretty reasonable.

And I'm sitting here crying. I had a mini meltdown a little while ago b/c we wanted to squeeze errands, a movie, laundry, packing and lunch into a too-short day and I have to drive an hour to pick up my sister from the airport at 5. And I desperately needed a bit of "me" time. Philip is going skiing in the morning and after Tuesday, I'm on my own for a week. (I don't know how some of you ladies do it, but I guess I'm going to find out!)

So my DH took Jessica w/ him on errands and just called me to figure out how we can have some alone time later. Since Jessica's night time sleep is still iffy, we'll probably just go get dessert while my sister babysits, but it's such a relief to have a little break.

Thanks everyone. And my DH was so sweet about it, which made me cry more. so silly.

Now a knitting question: I worked in 3 short rows and the back of the body is 1 inch longer than the front. The yarn looked like it might pool in the beginning, but since those short rows it's behaving so nicely (I hope I'm not jinxing it), so I'm hesitant to add more short rows. If I have a 1 inch difference, do you think that's good enough? I'm w/in the pattern guidelines, I just want to make sure I do this nicely.

I think you should be fine with that.

[Lyttlewon]

You could do your last short row the same length as the others and it will probably remain in the same pattern. Your colorway will switch on you when you do the gussets because you are increasing.

[devholan]

More Peach - http://hyenacart.com/prod_details.php?id=29964&vid=2451

um, that's not available any more:blush: Lulu has been wanting to come to my home for a while now. She'd like to be a soaker for the summer.

and thanks for the advice on the short rows. maybe I will go for one more since Jessica has a long rise. please cross your fingers for me that the yarn behaves. I split it into two (uneven) balls when I hand wound it just in case, so I'll probably just barely finish the body w/ one, then the second one will be the shortie legs, or the gusset and shortie legs.

Homemade Momma 8"...Homestead Emporium now. ;) I'm not over the moon for her 6" tiny liners...but, I wear a size 12 pants and am 6' tall....I think they're just too "tiny" for me. :blush:

[chataine]

I think you might be using too large circulars... most adult head circumferences are 20 inches plus, so you should probably use 16" circs to begin, then when you start your decreases you'll need to move to double point needles....

If you have time post a pic....

hmm well my original problem seems to have worked itself out, maybe i was knitting just a little too tight, i am not seeming to have the same problem today :headscratch:

i'll still try to take some pics when ds wakes up.. ( he is sleeping in my lap on the boob)

Morning Ladies, Happy :wub: Day!!

I'm getting run down w/ these kiddos, I actually fell asleep at 8 last night putting them to bed!

I got up and took a shower, folded 2 baskets of diapers and 3 baskets of laundry - yes I've been behind! :blush:

dh falls asleep when he puts dd to bed like *every* night

Hi newbies!! Welcome..

Miranda.. what size hat are you making and how many stitches do you have on the needles?


i am making an adult hat, i am loosely basing it off this pattern
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/button-tab-hat#

i don't think i read it all the way when i cast on though.. :blush: i think i cast on like 90? i have already started to decrease.. i so far have kind of been knitting intuitively and haven't really followed any patterns.. but i've only been making scarves..this is my first hat..


I agree, I think you should use 16's. Get some 40" ones and learn magic loop, then you don't need a bunch of different sized circs and dpns. I love magic loop!

what do you do at the very top? doesn't it get too tight to use circulars? i feel so confused now.. the cord i am using is much longer than the circumference of the hat..
ok i took some pics..uploading now

Just a quick pop in before heading out on what seems like a very similar day to yours. I too was just crying while DH cleaned the dog yard :yuck: and I did the dishes on his ONLY day off in February. Tomorrow is game day so I won't see him until 11pm (if I am not sleeping) and he leaves Monday for 9 days :cry: . I hate hockey season. Dev, let's keep in touch this week.

Your 20" might be long enough to Magic Loop the last few stitches. You can also use a second circular needle in the same size or DPNs.

I was going to show her the peeps but Im guessing she needs a medium large size (same size as my turquoise trails shorties) and my turquoise trails was about the same amount and even with trim I barely had any left over.

ok so kind of am magic looping hehe.. i have been keeping almost all the extra cord in the front.. knitting onto the needle then sliding them down to meet the rest of it on the cord..

looks like this when i am starting..

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc21/XX_MAVEN_XX/IMG_9028.jpg

and when i stop i am sliding everything off the needles so lil grabby hands can't ruin anything.. and this is how much extra there is..

This is the first year he has travelled so much and I really need to get better set up to handle the household single handed, starting with a bigger house! :giggle2:

I was part of the Whole SHEbang. I manage their congo behind the scenes - I do the graphics & store set up, but I'm not a vendor there. I can be if I want to, but I have enough of a hard time stocking my own store & want to do it at my own leisure.

Jonah is on the way.

The way I designed the one-size, I really just took my large pattern, narrowed it slightly through the legs for smaller babies and added snaps to the rise for adjustability. I also added extra wing snaps, but then I liked those so much I started putting 4 sets of snaps on the sized dipes too. If you like the fit of the Jonah, let me know, I can always make it without the extra snaps. :)

anyone seen Elliebelly yet? Sunshine :thud:

[Little Bear Momma]

i saw it this week. isn't it terrible. TERRIBLE. not just PPD but psychosis. Wait..have you gotten to the truly terrible part? Where are you? I dont' want to spoil it.



Yes...I'm done with it now...and have done the "ugly cry". I was medicated for ppd after Bear. Some days I wonder if I should still be. It was such a painful *painful* illness...and so very misunderstood. Watching it from the other side, even on tv, is horribly difficult. I am so thankful that I have a terrific doctor, and medication was available. That was *very* difficult to watch. :cry:

Ooh, love these!






The way I designed the one-size, I really just took my large pattern, narrowed it slightly through the legs for smaller babies and added snaps to the rise for adjustability. I also added extra wing snaps, but then I liked those so much I started putting 4 sets of snaps on the sized dipes too. If you like the fit of the Jonah, let me know, I can always make it without the extra snaps. :)



:blush: yep.Thanks Aimee! I'm excited!!

[iheartruiner]

I have...what are you wondering? :blush:

:blush: yep.

I was just curious. I did some for DBF today. :blush: They're not great, but I wanted to confess that I did. LOL!

[mlandorf]

ok I need some naming help. I usually can think of just a name, but I'm quite stuck.. the one in gg, called x.

It reminds me of the theatre...or an opera

Were you happy with your photographer? I've done them twice...once where I was uncomfortable and cold...and you could tell...and once when I was very comfortable (and warm) and less inhibited and they're quite nice. And very real. That was important to me. ;) No photoshopping of what was real...kwim? lol

[mlandorf]

Aimee, what is the rise on your meds? Joel is calling me but DS is a HUGE 6 mo old.

[~Peach~]

We haven't done boudoir pics but we have some *ahem* private photos we took back about 5 years ago.

[cadensmama]

:hugs: monica. i didn't know. I hate watching television because i really can't stomach all of the huritng of children or death of children in TV shows.

I think PP did it tactifully, showing the ugly side of PPD/PPP but it was still hard to watch.

I'm planning on doing it soon. I need to borrow a labcoat from work though :giggle:

Anyone good at computer shopping? As we speak my computer is doing this horrible whining noise so I think thats my cue that we need a new one. I want to get just the desktop, no fancy stuff as we dont play games or do crazy stuff on the comp.

I did them myself with my remote/self timer. I photoshopped only to get them more into focus. I think I did a decent job. :)

whining noise? It might just be a fan. Otherwise it could be your Hard Drive dying. I'm not good with laptops, but desktop shopping is easy if you know what you plan on doing with your pc. We have a monster of a pc. ;) Ed builds pcs, so if you have any questions, I can probably help out with desktops.

Whats the worst possible thing that could happen when you have about 3/4 of your stash to wash, 5 loads of laundry, and a stinky baby?
If you guessed a water main break then give yourself a pat on the back. A water main broke down the street so they are shutting our water off in a few minutes. Unfortunately S is asleep so I can quick bath her and dh is in the shower right now trying to rush to beat them shutting it off.

[MicrobioMommy]

I'm sure that he will love them...we are so hard on ourselves. I'm actually quite anxious about doing them, but I really want to do it.

I think PP did it tactifully, showing the ugly side of PPD/PPP but it was still hard to watch.Oh, I think they did a great job. We no longer have feed of abc on our satellite system...so I had no idea it was coming and it hit me from left field...lol...I'm glad my kiddos were napping! I really enjoy when widley watched shows bring some of these issues to the table. I wish more people had an understanding of ppd and other mom issues. BF, CD...hum...maybe we should write to the producers. Violet's baby will need diapers next season ya know. I could offer up a pair of Silly Stripes! ROFL!

:hugs: MonicaTY. :hugs:

The fans working. We had it quit on us before and it was much louder. I can see it and feel it still circulating but I wouldnt be surprised if it just up and gives up soon. So if I go MIA for the next few days you guys know my computer bit the dust :(

mmmmmhmmmmmmm I see how it is. I get on and everyone else gets off did you shower today? :giggle2: :hugs:

DS loves sushi. He only eats California rolls but loves the sticky rice.

. Dh brought a 25# bag of real sticky rice and got my a rice cooker for Xmas.. so we have rice alot for dinner and lunch.. I love it.. never will I got back to minute rice. :blush:

Here is my Yarnoodles custom all finished:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3489/3278610307_275a942ac6.jpg :drif: yum.




And I'm sitting here crying. I had a mini meltdown a little while ago b/c we wanted to squeeze errands, a movie, laundry, packing and lunch into a too-short day and I have to drive an hour to pick up my sister from the airport at 5. And I desperately needed a bit of "me" time. Philip is going skiing in the morning and after Tuesday, I'm on my own for a week. (I don't know how some of you ladies do it, but I guess I'm going to find out!)

So my DH took Jessica w/ him on errands and just called me to figure out how we can have some alone time later. Since Jessica's night time sleep is still iffy, we'll probably just go get dessert while my sister babysits, but it's such a relief to have a little break. :hugs: :hugs:

Thanks everyone. And my DH was so sweet about it, which made me cry more. so silly.


[QUOTE=devholan;6316686]um, that's not available any more:blush: Lulu has been wanting to come to my home for a while now. She'd like to be a soaker for the summer.

and thanks for the advice on the short rows. maybe I will go for one more since Jessica has a long rise. please cross your fingers for me that the yarn behaves. I split it into two (uneven) balls when I hand wound it just in case, so I'll probably just barely finish the body w/ one, then the second one will be the shortie legs, or the gusset and shortie legs. :goodvibes:
I logged in and saw that and knew it was you! I am so glad she is going to a loving home. :giggle2: I swear all I have to do is threaten my yarn lately to be knitted and BAM it sells.. lol.. :roflmbo:

Homemade Momma 8"...Homestead Emporium now. ;) I'm not over the moon for her 6" tiny liners...but, I wear a size 12 pants and am 6' tall....I think they're just too "tiny" for me. :blush: PM me your addy. I have something for you. :goodvibes: (non yarn)



Okay, can someone tell me how WAHMs join congos? :headscratch: Do you have to be invited? I feel like the only WAHM on the planet who's not part of a congo. :bagoverhead: I'm like, embarassed by this. :backout: I would love to do a collab with you. I think we have vendors up till June. We are always looking for more, Just email Tawny under the contact us bottom on our congo, :thumbsup:

So off topic. Has anyone done boudoir pics for their DH's/DBF's?
The mom's group I was in did them last year but I was hugely pregnant.. no thanks. :blush:

I sent them to him but he probably won't be able to see them on his cell phone so he'll have to wait till he gets home at 10pm. :)

That helps. Ill have dh do that tonite so we can at least make until I can get a new one.

:( I hate when that happens. We had that happen last year around or wedding anniversary.

[iheartruiner]

The "X" yarn reminds me of racing as well, but I was also thinking maybe a carnival or circus. Maybe Las Vegas? Like the sign?

[netgirl1001]

ooh I like that Monica. I was thinking something with red mountain, but.. I like yours better.. I hate coming up with names.. :giggle:

I like rfr sans orange, though I like orange too.. LOL
and wt.. yum.. It looks more 'lacey' with this stitch.

[iheartruiner]

:( I hate when that happens. We had that happen last year around or wedding anniversary.

yeah, it's lame. I want to ttc, but we're both not emotionally or financially ready yet. I'm hoping to convince him by late summer/early fall, but we have to see where we are financially. I want to buy a house/condo, but if we keep waiting we're never going to have another little one...or house...or better jobs. :banghead:

yeah, it really is. It's really difficult to even sit down and tell him I'm ready and his avoidance with it isn't making me feel good. We're extremely open & honest and comfortable with each other, so holding this back on a daily basis makes it so uncomfortable for me.

When I used BC (I had the ring & the Mirena) I had NO libido. And a bad attitude. We were falling away and apart from each other. Me and hormones don't work well together & the m/w suggested I have a sensitivity to progesterone or higher levels of estrogen. So I decided to give up the BC. Which is how Eddie came to be :giggle: Needless to say, we're on 6mo of tta. Not that I'm counting. LOL!

Dh got snipped on 9/11 this year.. really wasn't that bad. As long as you find a great urologist you are comfortable with and do exactly what they say for after then it's really a piece of cake.. I told Dh nothing compares to having a C sec.

Dh knows Im terrified of surgery and there are more complications involving a tubal ligation then with the male vasectomy so hes agreed that when I give the word he will get snipped.

[momtomy4]

I want sugarbubbie too :)

Yeah I will never get RFR lol!!

Truth be told...there are days that I'd love another. Really *love* another. But, I know that it would not be best for us...and selfish of me. (He has an older child that we are quite financially responsible for...it's a horrible situation...but, one we live with.) So...he really needs to get the snip. ;) We only have to brush up against each other to fall pregnant. We've ttc 3 months...and have two children to show for it.

ETA~How funny is it that when I was going in for emergency surgery two summers ago...dh requested I get my tubes tied "while they were in there". :roflmbo: I can laugh about it now. ;)

lol, we didn't try. But we had no self control - it was 2 months. :giggle: :blush:

Really, there's days when I think having just Eddie is fine. And days like today where I feel like I desperately want more kids. Truth be told, one more is more than enough.

Eddie is challenging at 3.5yrs and I'm not entirely sure I realllllly want to do 2-3-4 years old again. :roflmbo:

ladies.. I need help with soap.. I need something for my body and I cannot use anything with SLS in it. :( Most stuff at the store has the SLS in it. it dries out my skin and I can't use it in my shampoo either but I found Aussie shampoo conditioner that is the bomb that doesn't dry out and head and make it itch.

I have used BHS and I like it but I want something that will leave my skin feeling soft after a shower and that I don't need to slather on lotion afterwards.

OMG! ME TOO! It's been impossible since I've found out that the SLS gives me eczema. I use Giovanni hair care & I just got a giovanni bar, but my skin is dry as he!!. I'm thinking of getting some Naturally Luxe body wash (if it's still there) or trying smokey mtns apoth.

Secretly I hope one gets through and it's a girl sperm :giggle: I told DH that he would make a beautiful girl since he has made 2 gorgeous boys.. he said he only makes boys.. and both of his *tests* came back clear.. so I told him it's fair game that Matthew gets to model anything I knit girly in his size.. :giggle2:

I am embarassed but even though I know we are not financially set for another baby each month I keep hoping for an "oops". Dh and I have this running thing that we dont TTC it just sort of happens. Saedra we arent even sure how she happened as I was trying to do the maidenly thing and avoid DTD for one month before our wedding. On top of my LMP before her was July 28 so we only had a one week window for her to happen.

I keep thinking this too. Ed wants to get married first before we try. He's not popping the question. I'm unsure of what the heck the hold up is. :headscratch:

Honestly, I don't think we'll ever be financially set. Living in CT is impossible to be unless you make upwards of 100k per year. The cost of living here is insane. But we hate renting. Everything is such a catch 22. :banghead:
