At long last: Finished Longies!
I apologize for the radio silence. Not much news to report; I’ve been busy getting ready for the baby and knitting here and there when I get a chance. I finally finished my longies today:
Cute, no? I am trying to decide whether I am okay with the asymmetrical color patterning of the leg and cuff area or if I want to rip back one of the cuffs and make them match. I am leaning towards the former in an attempt to eschew my anal retentive tendencies, but it’s a tough call. I want everything baby-related to be perfect, even as I realize that it’s somewhat unrealistic to do so.
In between knitting the longies (three whole weeks! I can’t believe they took that long!) I knit a super quick lace ribbon scarf as a giveaway gift for my baby shower:
Unlike the longies, this scarf was a stupidly quick knit. Classic Elite Playful Weekend + size 15 needles + [*k1, YO, k2tog*] + a couple evenings of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Netflix and I had a finished handmade gift.
Nota Bene: If you ever end up knitting anything with this Playful Weekend stuff, BE SURE TO WASH IT before you wear it. I couldn’t believe how dirty this yarn was when I handwashed the scarf before blocking it. I just used a mild lavender shampoo and soaked it a while, but as soon as the scarf hit the water it turned the sink into a stinky brown morass. (Had I known, I would have washed the yarn before I knit with it.)
Next on the agenda: a pair of those cute Jess Hutch bunnies. I’m making one for my cousin’s baby shower in three weeks, but I love the pattern so much I decided I’m going to make one for my own kid as well. I bought Lamb’s Pride Bulky instead of Worsted, so I should be ending up with a bigger bunny than the one in the pattern. I plan on needle felting the details on the faces; since these are going to (hopefully) be well-loved by babies, I don’t want to mess around with buttons or safety eyes. I know I could embroider some facial features, but I find embroidery sort of tedious.
Anyhow, it feels good to have finished something!
Now, back to the grind.
