Which-Crafts?

I mentioned in my last post, that I ended up changing plans on the baby blanket I am knitting. The original plan would have turned out v.v.badly and I am glad I caught myself before I worked any further. With a little research at Ravelry and what I could find at the yarn store RIGHT NOW! I have started a free-form sort of Log Cabin style blanket for Liam. It goes pretty quickly and is great for watching TV because it is basically all garter stitch. I suspect now that the new Fall TV season has started I’ll get it done fairly quickly, I watch a LOT of TV.

So the blanket I was knitting for Liam (formerly The Player To Be Named Later) got outpaced by his actual gestational speed and my lack of planning. Frogging and knitting new has started, which I will post images of as soon as my new camera arrives.

But in the mean time Mom and I put together a quickey no-sew double-sided fleece blanket that turned out really really cute.

See for yourself!

I am really hankering to make this lovely sweater.  I am not hankering to pay 350 dollars for the yarn. Its made out of a lovely hand-dyed Silk/Merino/SeaCell yarn from Handmaiden called Great Big Sea  it retails for oh . . . about $35 a skein and I MIGHT be able to get away with only using 9 skiens . . .

Now I am off to see if I can find replacement yarn - Whee!!
