Ah, Mallrats.

I did... no knitting today. Just sat. I have to knit the pocket for the romper so I know if I need an extra button from April, need to knit my other romper, and do a bunch of drawstrings, AND figure out what to knit for Halloween & knit that up. But I sat. Oh well.

And wow on the 5T longies!!!!

[singingpraises7]

I started a pair of longies last night and got as far as the gusset. I decided to frog them and do linen stitch, spent all afternoon on that. Decided to frog again and make them in tunisian which is what I had in mind when I purchased the wool Good thing I love the yarn!

Ok, I got sidetracked on Rav. but you HAVE TO check THIS out!!!!!!!

Dude, once I have to frog something (unless its a yymn of course and i have a deadline lol) I wont knit it again right away. It makes me mad at the yarn

Btw- I love the name Lorelai. I totally wanted to name Piper that but Chuck veto'd it. My gmas name is Laura Lee and some ppl call her Lorelai.

OK, I just split for the sleeves on the SH (size 2t) and its pooling kinda, not horrible, but it is. I hope it knits up nice thru the rest of the body. I hate alternating, and Im already behind so I dont want to have to frog it Im exhausted though so Im gonna hit the sack. Talk to you ladies tmrw!!

holy crap.... she has 123 projects and all but like 3 are socks. She is officially off her damn rocker.

Thanks hun! Yeah, they are for my 3yo too, he's freakishly tall as well! Him and his 5yo brother are almost in the same size

Thanks guys Yeah I'm tempted to take a break but I just had some yarn come in for a custom so I'll whip those longies up really quick then put everything on hold for a while! An 8" inseam is going to seem like a piece of cake now

I'm actually going to weigh the remainder tomorrow at the post office. I started out with 11oz of organic gaia colorway and I'm thinking I have around 4-5oz or so left. There is quite a bit! This gaia goes a looooong way...I can get a hudson hat and probably a Sleuthing hoodie with the colorway as trim/pocket out of it as well I'll let you know though!!

[moonglowdesigns]

double post! (actually the first time that's ever happened to me!)
