FO's alert

I have been remiss in posting photos of my FO's, so here they are.


Yarn: Reynolds Dover, handpainted by me
Pattern: Children's Poncho #243 by Diane Soucy

I finished this a long time ago, in February. Principessa is very happy with it, so much she wears it to school!


Leftover shawl, 225 gr of DK/light worsted weight yarn.

I stopped when I ran out of yarns, about 50” wide and 26” tall. Principessa got this one too.


Yarn: Lisa Souza Superfine Superwash Sport Merino in Miss Violet's Pink Ribbon, 1 skein.
Pattern: Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf by Karen Baumer


Yarn: Knit One Crochet Too Ty-Dy, 2 skeins in 265 Hibiscus
Pattern: The Very Berry T-shirt

After I finished the t-shirt, I decided I wanted to make a cotton top for me, so I got my Katia Jamaica out of my stash and started something from the top down:



I do not understand how I could ever think I would wear those colors. Moment of temporary insanity, I guess. The thing was quickly frogged and the yarn returned to storage. After all, according to my plan, I do not have to make a decision about this yarn until November 2010.

Breathe, relax

I am leaving for Italy on Thursday and I am starting to freak out.

1. The shipment. I do not want to talk about it.

2. Packing. Or actually, not packing yet. The grandparents will cloth the kids if we arrive with no luggages. Me? Don't count on it.

3. Presents. Just realized my brother's birthday is while we are in Italy. Socks on the plane? Thuja? I have nothing in superwash and worsted that works. It really drives me mad when I can't find what I need in my stash, 492+ balls for 86,338 yards, and still nothing that works?

Tops for my nieces - check!



Socks for other niece - check!



Vest for my nephew - in progress.

Again?

I know I sound like a broken record, but it seems I lost a month again: where did April go?

One, two, three baby hats, three socks, one baby sweater, and one scarf - I am sure I am missing something ..... oh, yeah, Principessa has been un-available for a photo shoot, but I did finished Mia, look! only 5 objects left from my January 2007 UFOs list.
