Ribbit.

Memo to self:

Self, don't work on a stockinette baby blanket while watching compelling television. You will knit 8 stitches smack in the middle of a purl row and not realize it until six rows later.

The baby blanket is no longer a diagnonal one-stranded blanket, but is now a basketweave two-stranded blanket. Its future existence in any form is in doubt.

I want to put more pictures here, but some male person in my house has misplaced the camera cord. Maybe we can find it this weekend.

Yet another WIP list

Again, for my benefit more than the random person who stumbles across this nonsense:

  • Baby blanket that I was insane to cast on, maybe 1/3 done.
  • AMG's giant totebag, who knows how much done, I don't even know how big it will be yet.
  • Aforementioned sweater for darling daughter, not sewn together yet (it's a cardigan, she can still use it this spring).
  • Aforementioned sweater for me (out of Yarn Girls' Guide to Simple Knits, for those following along at home).
  • Aforementioned neglected feather and fan shawl (Knitpicks.com, of course!).

I'm chugging away at the baby blanket every night, and it occurred to me that a sock is *much* smaller than a 26" square baby blanket. I am really thinking of doing this sock thing (in worsted, of course) when I'm done with the blanket. The tote bag is the perfect mindless knitting, round and round and round.

I ordered Mason Dixon knitting and am wanting to make a log cabin blanket, somebody stop me!
