pretty things band wagon

I was reading the Yarn Harlot’s blog about the new Pretty Thing kits available at Lettuce Knit and I decided to jump on the band wagon and knit one for my Mom out of the new MCN I’ve gotten. I’m dying this in deep deep colors and I hope to have some ready next week sometime. I’m going to dye one and knit one for Mom and then I should have enough left over for at least one more Pretty Thing. Anyone wanting to buy half a skein in a deep red from me feel free to ask.

Some things do not belong in a bag marked “Medela.”

The yarn for Baby S’s Helena arrived today and I wound it carefully wondering why on earth I paid so much to knit a homemade baby sweater. Still, she will be sweet it in and I will find a great use for the extras, like a pair of mittens for me or something. I’m at a loss though. Helena is missing. I recall gently tucking it away in an effort to straighten up the knitting room/office/nursery because logically, the yarn wouldn’t arrive for a week or more and it didn’t need to be out getting sat on by cats or worse. And now I can’t find it. I’ve triple checked every project bag and every box in this room, which can only mean one thing.

 

It’s time to check again.
