Here's the most recent longies, DD Pumpkin Royale. I still need to make the drawstring and attach the pockets, that's my project for tonight once DS goes to sleep. I think I was too aggressive in blocking since the hips didn't go back to preblocking size :-(

Nice!

no wip pics, but a fo pic

it's a skirty for my friend's daughter's first birthday. It's micsknitz shirly temple colorway on kona superwash. I bought 2 skiens plus trim to make this skirty and didn't even use a whole skein, so I am going to try to sell the rest, hopefully.

I finished, sewed the button on, and tried it on Alma this morning and it is A fam friend is over and he loves it, too! This week I'm going to cast on some bodices for a few knit/fabric frocks for the girls. I've also got a non-knit/crochet project going on too- I'm painting a wooden letter for a hairbow holder. I've 'picked up' hairbow-making the last year or so and I'm going to make Ella a huge bunch of mostly lined clips for school and we have so many now we need a bow/clip holder, lol! Hopefully I can finish that in the next few days. I have to bake cookies today, and possibly brownies too. Dane's 4th B Day (DS5) in Tuesday and I have to make some dry runs on cupcakes. We're doing a beach thing with them, if all goes right and we'll all go to the beach since that's what he's asked to do. My little beach bum!

a beach birthday sounds like SO much fun!

I hope it's nothing!


AFM..I finally seamed my sweater and now am doing the sleeves in the round. I have been a horrible slacker because I dreaded the seaming. Now that it is behind me I am much happier to be working on it!

What pattern is this? I am looking for a sweater pattern for my FR "Floating on a Cloud" on MMR for June and that is perfect!

[ELC Knits]

Sara, thats the Elliot sweater pattern on Ravelry!

I keep wanting to start one myself right now but I have to finish this RHS before starting another one or I will keep getting distracted from finishing it!! LOL

beautiful!!!

what does kal stand for?

[ELC Knits]

It stands for Knit Along - there is a bunch of us doing an RHS or Sleuthing Hoodie knit along in the craft section - actually it is really a sweater knit along for any sweater pattern!!

This yarn: http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Caden..._D5420129.html is AWESOME too, and uber soft!

I'm contemplating making one for me too...it has a link to mods for a 52" bust in the description...hmm...I have plenty on my knitting card right now though!!
