Fiber Fever Friday #2

Fiber Fever Friday

Today's wonderful stash addition... It's a bunch of Supermerino from ArtYarns...

Last week I mentioned that Superwife sprung a new baby item request on me with a due date of 10/6 (for the item, not the baby).  Well this is the yarn for a very cute (and very fast working) baby shrug!  I started it last night and am already about a third of the way into it...  I think it'll miss out on WIP Wednesday next week (because I'm hoping it'll make an appearance on Ta-Da! Tuesday ;-) and so here are a couple pics of how it works up!

Superwife has to go in to the office again tomorrow, so I'm left at home alone to entertain myself... What shall I do? 

I wish everyone a very happy, and relaxed, weekend!

Happy knitting everyone!

WIP Wednesday #2

Really busy at work right now.  Busier than I'd like to be anyway :) Seems like everything comes due all at once.  This isn't really unexpected.  I find that in my work the due dates come in waves.  Ah well... On with the knitting!

As I mentioned yesterday all of the panels are made for the wedding afghan, so all I have to do is the making up and border.  So at the moment, I only have one thing on the needles...

This is just about the first half of a brand new baby hat... (Thanks again Steph!)  The hat is actually knit flat and then through  some magic origami, it is is stitched together to make the cutest baby hat ever!

Of course the queue is growing faster than the outpile, and up next I've got a gorgeous baby shrug to cast on in a yarn that is not blue...  I love blue, and blue is my favorite color, but after the two booties and this hat, I'm ready to work in another color.  :)

It's Hump Day!  Knit happy everyone!

Ta-Da! Tuesday #2

Well, it's Ta-Da! Tuesday again...                                                                  [as seen on Woolythyme]

...and having worked diligently all weekend, I have two finished objects today!

The first is a 100% completed pair of booties:

Aren't they cute?


The second finished object is the 4th and last panel for the wedding afghan I've been working on.  Shew! The wedding is in 11 days and like 8 states away.  All that's left is the making up and border which won't take long.

I can't wait to give this blanket to its recipient so I can put photos up! :) It's going to be a stunner...

I've had so many crunch projects lately that I've had to restrict myself to working on only two at a time, but I have managed to start the next project already.  Check back tomorrow for, WIP Wednesday!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
