Yarny goodness

Knitting is good. Crochet is good too. I love knitting. I love crochet too.

Boy oh boy. The past few weeks have been a yarn-frenzy! From the time I last posted, I have made a dozen hats (seriously) in both baby and adult sizes, half a dozen of Blythe-sized beanies, and am in the midst of a crochet square pillow and a runched throw. I even made an iPod cozy for my nano! And also have swatches on the cork board. It doesn't help that my Ravelry invitation finally came. Oh man, so many projects, so little time!

And I have not even finished Gloria's wedding gift. But I have perfectly good explaination for that though, the shade of polar fleece I'm after is not available in stores right now.

Heck, not forgetting to mention the Housewarming Quilt for me and Jay. It's taking eons to hand-sew the edgings, it's starting to be quite the penance-project. Actually, it is a penance project. Everytime I pull it out to work on it, Jay would curiously ask "is it almost done?". It's been 7 months now since we moved in, and the darn thing isn't done yet. I have to admit, it's a gorgeous quilt, and I can't wait to use it too.

So while the weather is warming up like mad, and I'm busy with the knitting projects, poor Jay has to put on a brave head to try out the adult beanies that I've knitted for him. I've made him two merino beanies, and have made a mohair/acrylic beanie for myself. The rest of the beanies are for tiny heads. Seeing that my sister has not found out whether Peanut is a boy or girl, I've knitted beanies for both genders. Just to be on the safe side. Besides, babies are popping like mushrooms, I'm sure if Peanut is a girl (or boy), someone else would eventually have a baby in the other gender. Gloria, you reading this?

Next project though: socks. Not that I have any idea on how to work on the heel bits.. but I shall endeavour to find out. And then, crochetting granny squares. I used to dislike them, but funnily enough I seem to have new-found respect for this funny pattern. Am I getting old? Gosh I feel a lot older now with the birthday that just passed.

Speaking of which, I have a gazillion photos to take and load up. Gosh, buying batteries is such a drag..
