Birthday Month!!!

 

End of the Mitts

 

 

I have no idea why 1 is smaller than the other.  I will post another pic post block.

LYS

La Casita Yarn Shop :

 

Lovely LYS in Brooklyn. I got the last skein of this Madelinetosh in CandleWick & started this project immediately :

Mother's Day

Seen this past weekend: Daddy rocked the cables.

Miniature knitting

At 30 Rock on my way to work. No idea but they are lovely.

I started my 2nd Endpaper Mitt.  Cuff & 3 repeats of 1st chart. I am curious if I will run out of yarn. Also wishing I had that handy contraption I blogged about a couple of weeks ago.  It would make my subway knitting easier.  I saw someone else knitting this morning besides myself, but I couldn't talk to her as there was someone else in the way and she got off before me, so whoever you were, Happy Knitting!

Baby Totoro

I ran out of yarn and I still have to do the ears so its back to a LYS for more. Purl SoHo is only open til 7 and since that is when I get off work I am going to visit one of Blue Sky Alpaca's Brooklyn vendors to purchase my extra skein.  La Casita in Park Slope sounds fun and festive and I hope to visit before the week is out, as they conveniently stay open til 10 during the week. Review to follow.
Yarn : Blue Sky Alpaca Suri Merino in Dusk

Gorgeous yarn, slight halo, DK weight, a pleasure to knit.
This is the same yarn I used for My Caramel which I have yet to post pics of becasue it turned out so massive.  I had plans to steek it and make it a cardigan or pullover, with enough knitted fabric leftover to make a cowl, but my friend who works at Calvin Klein insists it is great just the way it is, and swayed me. Now I am no longer certain and I need a tie breaker opinion....

Between the Sheets

I started this project and like so many others it looked much better in my head.

I wanted to do a Herringbone Rug for the floor at the end of the bed but knitting Herringbone on size 17s with this stuff is miserable and life is too short.  So now I am contemplating what I should do with all this sheet yarn. I think, Maybe crochet would be easier, then I realize I dont have a size 35 crochet hook. Ahhh well, it will come to me, but in the meantime, Sheet Rug is hibernating.
