SEASONAL KNITTING
I have been crankin' out preemie caps for my Fairy Godmothers group for the past two weeks. They are so fun to make because they're quick and you can play with different colors. I think I might freak some of the ladies out with my hot pink and lime green, but I think some hip young wife will like it.
I also have to do job-related knitting: Michaels is redesigning the front of the store and so we have to have season-themed projects on display. I copied The Girl's first baby project and made the baby pumpkin hat.
I also started knitting this spider last night, but I hate him. He looks more like a fly than a spider. I am going to finish him and then maybe try to make this variation of the spider pattern and see if it turns out any better. But I have to turn my seasonal knitting in by the end of the week, so I may get desperate and have to turn in the fly spider after all.
UPDATE:
OK, he doesn't look so bad now that he has legs...

MY HEAVEN + MY HUSBAND'S
Yes, yes, sweet, awesome, holy crap.
We just bought tickets to attend
Stitch N Pitch at Busch Stadium. That's right, knitting and baseball acting like they're peanut butter and jelly. Too cool. We'll be going with my friend and her mom, the awesome lady who taught me to knit ten years ago, and a girl I met through my knitting class here whose husband is deployed. She's flying from Montana; we're coming from both coasts to converge on the StL for the best idea to hit baseball since the hot dog.
Best idea we've had for a vacation since we
followed Feasting on Asphalt.

PASSING THE TIME
Watch out, Vera Bradley; I'm quilting my own bags now.
I love my new sewing machine.

Are you going to sell some? They're really popular nowadays! What machine do you have? I'm looking around for my own, since I just got married and Mom isn't too keen on me borrowing hers across state lines now...

I am not sure what is more frightening.
You quilting bags, or me a "non crafter" knowing who you are talking about.

I love the bags. I wish I could sew like that. If you want to sell I would buy one.

The only problem with selling them is that I am a LAZY seamstress. My seams don't match up perfectly and stuff. But if you want a not-so-perfect bag, then I'm your man.

I don't look at seams as long as it does not fall apart after using it for a few days I am happy. LOL
