What's New in My Knitting World (aka, my regular world)

Monster Pants, originally uploaded by Ladymama.

I'm starting to notice that the knitting is really taking over. My hand-knits are overrunning the house. There's at least one something visible in every room. They are also being gifted like a mo'.

Here are some Faux Crankypants. I would have happily paid for the pattern, but it's not available, forcing me to rip off others' fantastic ideas. These are for my friend Erin's little newcomer, set to arrive in the next few weeks. They can be wool longies or just pants.

Just realized I never blogged these.

I'm making good progress on this and decided to try it on this afternoon to make sure it fit over my largest parts. Seems fine in that area, but the arms are too small. I think I'll have to do some finagling there at the end before I do the ribbed border.

For any random person who reads this blog and isn't on ravelry, the finished product should look like this:

Seriously, I've gotta stop with the cupcakes. But kids just keep having birthdays.

My first sweater/shirt that is not for a baby. I'm only knitting for myself these days, except for the cupcakes. This is from zephyr. It's a really popular pattern, and I think it will turn out really well.
