I think this is a first for me… I uploaded pictures Wednesday night so I could post about them yesterday and then I promptly forgot about them. <\/p>\n

I have a friend who had a baby in September, so I whipped up a cute baby set for her. I finally got the package in the mail yesterday… here’s hoping those 0-3 months booties will actually fit. <\/p>\n

Knitting oragami<\/i>
I did EZ’s Surprise Baby Jacket. I thought it was a wonderful pattern and spent a good deal of the time I was knitting it wondering why more patterns weren’t written like this. Then, due to other things going on in my life, I realized that it would require to people to actually comprehend what they are reading — something that seems to be woefully lacking these days (one of my favorite Nonsequitor strips is a park bench that has a sign on it reading “Warning: Dry Paint” with a tag line stating “Real Life Reading Comprehension Test”). <\/p>\n

I thought the niftiest thing was the way the jacket went from an odd looking rectangle of knitted fabric to a baby jacket — presto chango! <\/p>\n

… This is one of the signs of the end times, isn’t it? The Apocalypso is nigh.<\/p>\n

How ’bout making something boring, like a garter stitch scarf, and sending it off to the Dulaan project or giving it to a shelter? It’ll make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and you don’t have to even think about it …<\/p>\n

It’s either that or you have to go out and spend $500 on alpaca, and you know it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope not, I’m not really a fan of calypso music. \ud83d\ude42 That Banana Boat song just gets on my nerves something fierce.<\/p>\n

While I’m not a big fan of acrylic because I don’t like the way it feels, I think it has a place. I mostly use it for the preemie charity knitting I do since that’s what the charity requests. Acrylic for afghans that need to be able to go in the washer and dryer for dog hair removal also makes sense (and cause I don’t think my mom was very happy with me for giving her socks that needed to be handwashed (although she liked how soft the alpaca was)… I don’t think she’d appreciate a handwash afghan). The Homespun pisses me off more for all the spliting it does than the fact that it’s acrylic. <\/p>\n

I had briefly considered superwash wool, but I’d like it done in this lifetime; the Homespun is bulky, while all the superwash wools I like are sportweight. <\/p>\n

The mention of spending $500 on alpaca is funny cause I just ordered 12 balls of Lana Gatto Feeling from my LYS. One of the employees convinced me that I would only need 12 balls not the 16 I thought… and I discovered that purchasing more than 10 balls gets me a discount… how could I resist? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A good weekend to everyone! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
