Pinafore Progress
All of the knitting for the Anouk pinafore is done, and I'm on to my orange flat cat for Ivy. However, I had to close up some holes at the neckline, which I had a hard time with and didn't make exactly according to the directions (because it just didn't work out). Now I need to block the dress and pockets. Once they're dry, I'll sew on those pockets and little side tabs. Oh, and I have to find buttons and sew those on. Finishing is such a pain!

Look, mom!
I'm so proud! Ladymama's first intarsia! This is the first pocket for the anouk pinafore I'm making for Ivy. Thanks, again, to Lucy for teaching me how to do this technique.

John's Hot Head
This is the hat I was talking about that I made for John when I was a new knitter. My first purling project... I'm misty.
Boring Hat
Here's a beanie I whipped up during Ice Storm '07 for Greg as a belated Christmas gift. Um, it's still in the envelope on my desk waiting to be mailed off to Salt Lake City. hee hee. I modified the Hot Head pattern in Stitch-n-Bitch and used Lambs Pride Bulky. He wanted mostly black, so, voila. I'm really not too crazy about it. I prefer the one I knit for John a long time ago.
Oh yeah, I knit this sucker in the round on size 10 double pointed needles (don't ask), and I will just say that I probably picked up about 95 dropped stitches along the way. An exercise in discipline, I suppose.
My first flat cat
Here is one of my most favoritist things I have knit. I also made this in December as part of the trade with Leah. I was quite sad to part with it, but will be making an even cuter one for Miss Ivy as soon as I get around to it.
Knit in garter stitch using cheapy Sugar-n-Cream yarn from Hobby Lobby. Those striped pants were a bitch to seam.
