new project!
A few days ago, I planted myself on the couch with my stack of knitting books, looking for the perfect unisex baby sweater pattern. I found a good number of boy baby clothes I'd like to knit. And a good number of girl baby clothes I'd like to knit, but nothing in-between that I was crazy about. Except a few blankets that caught my eye.
I looked back and forth over three blankets, trying to decide. One was an elegant blanket, with a few simple cables running the length of it. It looked quite plush, but didn't seem 'babyish' to me. After making, I mean, politely requesting, my boyfriend to look them over, I decided on the basketweave blanket from Knitting for Baby. But definitely not in chenille. The doubling as a bath towel idea is nice, but I wanted something more blankety.
I've been knitting a lot from my stash lately, one of my goals, but I really didn't have anything for this project. So... I got the perfect excuse to try out some of Sundara's yarn! We've been emailing back and forth, as I try to describe the perfect green that I'm looking for, and she's been extremely accomodating. I can't wait to see it!
For now, I need to finish up Dianne's bag, there's not much left to go, just need to i-cord the strap. I need to save that for work knitting. Tonite, I'm going to be playing with glass:
I'm trying something a bit crafty.. from the new Martha Stewart magazine. Hint: I get to pour paint.
