Sunday Knitting

So I decided to gauge down the baby hats that I'm making for friends and family that are expecting new bundles...The hat was a little too big, so I went from a US10 to a US6.... the boots are a US8...I'm using the softee baby in blue right now...and it's the Glamour-Baby's Hat from lionbrand.com. If you sign up for their site they have a ton of free patterns.

**So you don't have to learn the hard way...
When a baby pattern says ( ) many balls for a project, check the yardage. I did not and bought A.C. Moore balls and now I have more baby pink yarn than I know what to do with....

I've also learned a lot about dye lots, I wanted to use this Baby Cashmere in Carnation. I needed three so I didn't use it, and then I found the same yarn at my local store. Bought it, not a match....I really don't know what to do with all of that mess right now.

On a non-knitting note: I drug up all of my winter clothes from the basement, and did the fit / not fit game. I'm much pickier about my sweaters now that I'm knitting...I'm not even close to making my own yet...one day...

okay here we...GO!

So this is my first "real" blog that hasn't been tied to some friend networking site. I know there's half my novel floating around in cyberspace because Friendster is awful! I'm a Full TIME Grad student, wife, daughter, bookseller, knitter, consumer, web browser, facebook stalker, with not enough time and too many projects. From time to time I hope to post my own variations on patterns that I use and then my own patterns. I'll also start taking much better photos of my knitting projects... :) Wish me luck!
