A Miracle!

I found my camera, took some pictures and actually uploaded them. And to make things even more amazing, I am almost finished with 3, count 'em, 3 gifts! Sweet! Of course, there are no pictures of those yet, I'll wait until they are completed and received first, just to be safe. ;) But here are some pictures of the longies I finished months ago and the robe I gave Kai for Christmas. The pants are already getting pilly from wear, sorry, and I don't have any action shots yet because I keep forgetting. Shocking, I know. Oh, and please don't be jealous of my stellar picture-taking abilities. It takes years to develop skills like these.


Longies with elastic waist in Earth and Sky colorway from Tykie Knits. The leg isn't actually crooked or anything, I'm not quite sure what I did to it when I layed them out.



















McCalls pattern 9638

































ETA: And I totally forgot, I made those scarves for the boys and never took pictures of those either. I like Kai's, not too sure about Zeke's though. The ribbing makes it too skinny, so I may frog it and start over since he doesn't use it anyway. Should take pics of those. I'll get right on that...

Holy Cow! I have been crazy busy and am just finally getting back into the swing of things. Of course this blog totally slipped my mind and I have some catching up to do. Only a little bit though, haven't had a ton of time to work on projects. I did manage to sew a robe for Kai and knit him and Zeke a scarf for Christmas, but there were a few other projects I didn't get done that I really wanted to. That means there are two people still waiting for their Christmas gifts. Not good. So that gives me something to work on when the kids are sleeping when I don't have something else hanging over my head. My goal is to have them done by the end of the week. I also need to block those pants I finished weeks and weeks and weeks ago...and hope they still fit Zeke. Ugh... I'll have to take a picture of them and the robe and try to find the cord to upload them. I'm sure it's in a box somewhere. :)

Time to kick it in gear...hopefully I'll be back soon with pictures!
