Decisions

I feel like I need to get organized for 2005. I mean, organized in terms of what I will knit, when and for whom and out of what fiber...

I already have two items on queue...both are from Stitch Diva Studios and they are the Celebrity Shawl that I will knit out of Debbie Bliss' Cotton Silk Aran in Gold, or the blush pink color.

And the Mini Flower Poncho out of Thaki Palatonia? in French Blue or Mango...

Also for me, I am contemplating Elena from Debbie Bliss' Baby Alpaca Silk...( I am still plugging away on Frieda from the same book) but I don't know if I will tackle Elena...she takes like 200 skeins!

Um, for my hubby, he wants a scarf and I know if I dont do it quick he will say it's too hot to wear one. He also wants a sweater and I haven't the foggiest what would be a good man's sweater to try, but I may consider the one in Rowan's Cork book that has the matching child sweater...

Decisions, decisions. Hey if anyone is reading this and you know of good patterns for a mens' sweater, or you caught wind of the hottest new female patterns, let me know.

I am also thinking of doing the sweater in Knitty's latest issue...the one that is knit in the round without seams? I will get the name of it later.

And I promise I will post a pic of my Frieda, I am starting the 1st sleeve today and I am done with the Back.

Feeling a Little Down

My kitten Basil passed away on Christmas Day. He had the feline disease called FIP, feline infectious peritonitis. I am pretty upset because I just can't believe he is gone. We had him exactly 6 weeks and I just don't know how this happened. Anyway, didn't mean to get anyone down, just had to explain why he won't be here on my blog anymore.

Rest in peace, Basil. You were such a cute lil blessing to our house, we love you very much.

Oh My Goodness!

Just when I was about to log on to eBay and sell my stash of Rowan Biggy Print I found the Holiday issue of Knitty! I am so glad I did, because I just found an awesome pattern with which to use my leftover yarn! YAYAYAYAY! See the pattern below!
