First of all. I think I want a haircut like Heidi's!
What do you think??
Today I went to the Yarn Loft and got some of that newish Debbie Bliss Pure Silk yarn. Totally awesome, luxurious stuff. I am knitting this hat for someone special. I wanted it to be really soft and feminine, and Pure Silk has this great luster to it, and it's well, silky soft.
Here's a glimpse of some of the projects I've been working on lately:
The wisteria colored fabric is the lace edged hat that I talked about before, The gray mass of stockinette is Jon's Avast sweater sleeve (number 2 - I've been mindlessly knitting them while I watch Grey's Anatomy. I like it when my knitting coordinates with my tv shows. I'm knitting Avast in Cascade 220, charcoal - cuz I don't really like Plymouth Galway)The creamy colored thing is a really sooooft alpaca scarf in a simple seed stitch. It's for me. I started knitting it while watching House on DVD. I'm about 3.5 feet into it. I'm knitting it out of Plymouth Baby Grande Alpaca (100% alpaca and totally soft) in color 100.
In other news, my kid is adorable:
She's in karate. She was too sick to go today, so she'll have 2 lessons this week. As soon as she puts that uniform on she's all business. Karate is serious, people.
But today, she's under the weather. She spent 2 days home from school with me pretty much doing this the whole time:
And one more thing guys. Is it just me, or are He-Man & She-Ra both incredibly homoerotic, when you rewatch them as an adult?
