Reading Monster Blood Tattoo Book One: The Foundling by D. M. Cornish. I don't remember where I heard about it. It's fairly interesting so far. I got it from the library, so I need to read it before I give in to my desire to reread beloved series over and over again. Knitting: the not-Pebble vest. It's, what? My fifth attempt? I just couldn't get this right. But I think I have now. (Rav details here)
The "waffle" scarf. It took all of both balls of Top of the Lamb. It's longer than I am tall. Whew! But it's done. (Rav details here)
The Imp needed a new hat. The fox-eared hat I knit last year is just too small (I'll be listing it on Julie's handmade hand-me-down doohickey later). I started and finished it in one day - mostly with my eyes closed. I've been feeling dizzy and nauseous (no, I am not pregnant) so watching the stitches move makes me feel terrible. At least I know that if I ever lose my sight, I can still knit. (Rav details here)
And a gratuitous baby picture. Because he's cute and I wanted to. So there.
You never need an excuse for cute boy pictures. Love all your makes, and I might have to pop on and look at your hat notes later. xxx
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie for sure! Both are. Your hat looks great and so sorry about your dizzy feeling. That is not good. Hope it passes quickly...
ReplyDeleteOh he is cute, as are both of them! I like the scarf and maybe for... next year? I keep telling myself that I won't add to my list. I hope you are feeling better and the dizziness is gone, could it be your inner ears?
ReplyDeletehe is cute and we totally understand wanting too. lol. your knitting looks great! i wish i could do such a great hat in a day with my eyes closed! low blood sugar gets me dizzy and nauseous...wow, who can speel nauseous on the first try? lol

I hope you feel better soon. The hat is so cute and I love his smile! The waffle scarf is really nice, good to know it takes two balls of yarn!
ReplyDeleteHe sure is cute, cheers Marie
ReplyDeleteCutie boys!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf and such a cute hat! Hope you're feeling better soon. Dizziness and nausea are definitely no fun. :(
The waffle weave scarf looks like a perfect guy gift. And gratuitous cute baby pics are always appropriate!
ReplyDeleteHaven't ever seen photos of your Imp... cute as a bug (and from what I hear, eats as much as a bug, too.) As far as that photo of your little Beastie, count me in along with everyone elses comments -- gratuitous baby-boy cuteness... hooray!
