As I sit at the kitchen table looking at my yarn & hooks I think how much I've managed to pack into my brief visit thus far... I have completed the back panel for Angie's sweater... have more clearly defined the design for it and am renewed with excitement in regards to working on this sweater altogether.
I have designed a micro/preemie hat ... still in the pattern testing stage but once completed will be offered for personal/ charitable use.
I have been working on something for someone but am not at liberty to disclose any of the details at this time.
I managed a lovely visit at Phootsy's Yarn Cottage. I just love visiting this yarn shop ~ first off the owner Freddie Schuh ~ is a delight to converse with, secondly she has a way of making you feel so very welcome to pull up a chair and work on your project while you visit. Her displays just inspire me to take some time working on my projects! She has beautiful yarns to purchase... this time I picked up some lovely wool. Yes you are right handwash lay flat ... did I have a brain freeze moment? Did I just not read the label? I normally do not consider fibers that need the extra care since I am Lazy and want my gifts (or anything for myself) to be easy care all the way. But I just couldn't resist giving this yarn a try... it's Galway by Plymouth color 10 (it's a navy blue) doesn't feel itchy as many wools that I have petted has. Soft and feels good in my hand ummm babies due in November & in late January maybe a nice baby hat? Something small that can be easily hand washed? There is time yet to decide.
This month's charity challenge had me searching out micro preemie & preemie hat patterns (hence my sudden play time which led to my own pattern) ~ keep in mind I'm not at home so sharing a computer means sharing computer time so my search was split with everything else I try to accomplish on the computer (games, reading the comics, email, groups etc) but last night I came across the cutest knit hat for preemies & /or newborns that I can't wait to go home & try working up. Yes I know I know I know... but it is soooooooooooooo CUTE I had to ask my daughter to hook me up with a copy of the pattern so now I've got it I'm going to play. I found it through a search through patterns on Ravelry so join if you haven't already and search for : Christmas Tree Hat by Pattie Pierce Stone ~ it is that cute that I want to make it in the newborn size for my sweetheart who is due to arrive this November. Of course I have a lot of projects in mind so I will have to really pick & chose the priority of them all :) like I mind? LOL
We have gotten the baby's room partially settled, we have to double ck what clothes options exist so we will have a better idea what is needed. So inventory sometime today or tomorrow. Tuesday I would like to pack & relax as much as possible with my daughter since I leave on Wed.
Okay time to go make some breakfast ~ wishing you all a wonderful day ... may all of your projects be frogless and to God Be the Glory!!!!
