Yarn and shopping

Today I recieved my February Yarn of the Month! For those of you who don't remember, my MIL is sending me yarn EVERY MONTH this year as a Christmas gift. Crazy amazing, right???


I've never heard of this yarn (Adriafil Knitcol) but it's superwash Merino and is fabulous! I'm thinking perhaps a toy for Norah (since it's washable and all)? But I have 2 skeins so I will have to think about this :) What an awesome MIL!

In other news, Courtney has launched her own website outside of etsy to sell her children's knitwear AND screenprinted tshirts! It looks awesome and I'm excited to see what she puts up there. Good luck Courtney!!!

Well, crap

I was only feeling a little worried about the ever-growing list of things I want to knit this year, and then this happened:

Ahh! I want to knit that for every one year old I know :D

P.S. Almost done with my test knit toddler sweater for courtney... post coming soon!

Linky Tuesday

I'm totally copying Courtney on this, but I thought I'd do a post of pretty things I've found on Ravelry recently.

Mountain man bearded hat
Look for this soon as a WIP :-)

Vinculum cardigan
That is GORGEOUS!!! Might have to think about buying that next year to make for myself???

Woobie Zebra
Super cute for a baby gift!

Rachael Scarf
Chevron patterns are so "in" right now.

Open work Infinity Scarf
I bet that would knit up really quick!

Oslo Anorak
OMG That is friggen adorable! I wish the bigger sizes were free. Norah would be the cutest little elf baby!

Hope you are all having a nice week... we're all fighting colds in our house and it's been rainy and chilly out. Makes it nice to stay inside with hot chocolate and blankets though (and coffee lol).

On handcrafting...

This was posted previously on the Mason Dixon blog, but I loved it so I have to repost here!



Very cool :-)
