so... i finally finished the gloves and gave them to her. she loved them. as soon as i knew they fit, i tore the pattern to shreds and tossed it... honestly, i will never use it again. they turned out great, but i hated knitting them... so there!
christmas brought knitting books to my tree and tho i love them, i have had little motivation to knit anything but baby things since i found out we are expecting in the fall. that's right, a september baby! i have been turning out baby hats, baby socks, trying my hand at a baby blanket (which i have ripped about four times... i can't find a pattern i really like even tho i love the yarn!), and am currently working on Elijah...
isn't he cute? he is knit on dpn's without any seams... so far i have a head and a trunk and it is going swimmingly. the yarn i am using is 100% merino superwash by avanti. the colorway is almost nautical:
i love it! i figure it will be just right for a little munchkin when he or she comes along. i promise pics in a little bit, when he looks a little more like an elephant... till then, happy knitting!
