Back to knitting...


After wanting to sew and not being able to, I got back into a knitting kick. I dyed up some of the yarn I have and while I'm not happy with all of it yet, I do like one skein in particular. I also used some of my old yarn that I dyed up before. I'm not crazy about the colorway but I figured for a pair of hanging out around the house longies, who cares right?

Anyway, I started to knit another pair of longies out of the yarn I do like but I'm going to frog it and start over. I've decided it'd be perfect for a kimono baby gown. It's merino and soooo soft! This will be her main pajamas for awhile, I think. I mean then if she decides to be a super soaker in the middle of the night, hopefully I won't wake up in a puddle!

I can't find a pattern so I'm going to wing it. I'm scared. O_o

Also on the list: I'm buying some Purewool since it's pretty cheap and supposed to be VERY soft. I'll be making little longies out of that and maybe a dress for next winter. I've also got a possible custom lined up for some handspun yarn for a special pair for next winter and I'm going to be attempting to get some Disco Knits peppermint and storybook ending-or-Mosaic Moon birthday girl and birthday boy. I don't think I can get away with getting both unless something changes...just convincing Scott to let me spend that much on yarn is going to be hard enough as it is. If all else fails, I'll just stick with the Purewool and save our marriage to be. :)
