A couple FO's

My Dirty 30 razor cami is complete! Here she is, in all of her glory:
This is her back so you can see the criss crossed straps.

And here she is, folded up nicely to be put away in a package. I mailed her off to the ever deserving recipient yesterday. I'm hoping that she'll be able to take pictures so I can see how it looks on her. I'm hoping more that it fits her and not falling off her shoulders. She's a petite girl and I'm...well, not so much. It was a lot of guestimating on my part. We'll see I suppose!

Here's the FO that makes me want a baby.

It's the Berry Baby Hat...but I've renamed it the Eggplant Baby Hat since it looks more like it belongs in an eggplant parmesean (MMM) than in a berry cobbler. Its so stinking cute! I want to reproduce just to I can make more!

I'm finally getting around to making something for AJB. Hopefully, I won't leave it out with the loose threads hanging out. For the summer, AJB will be sporting a Fru-Fru Tank Top- because my daughter is very fru-fru. She is a girlie girl, alright! I just started it last night but the body is mind numbingly easy. I can knit it without thinking about it. As long as I don't get Knitter's ADHD, I should have this done by early next week.



I must tell you my new adventure! For my birthday, DH got an online photography course for me to take! I love this program- its so easy to do and you can do it on your own time. I receive feedback on the assignments I turn in from my tutor and get lots of advice on the forum. Its taking me a little slower because I've been finishing up some knitting things but on Saturday, I'm going to work on my next assignment- shutter speed! I'm planning on hanging out in Old Litchfield where there are tons of greenery, people, and cars. I hope people won't think I'm a perv taking pics on the street! I hope to share my accomplishments on this blog as well. I may have to change the title to "A Very Neglected Knitting and Photography Blog." :)

Yeah, I know...

I have to wipe the inches of dust off my neglected knitting blog. It seems as though I can't keep up with everything I want to do...I want to knit, blog, learn photography all while folding laundry (that's still not folded), organize yarn stash (that's still kind of crammed in a closet), take things to Goodwill (things still in the garage)...and tons of other things that still haven't been done. Oh well, one thing at a time, I suppose!

I've almost completed my Razor Cami:



I'm just working on I-cords for the sleeves, then off to the post office it goes to, hopefully, make a birthday girl very happy!

In a couple of weeks, a dear friend is having her baby shower. I wanted to have a little dress made for her but my knitting needles (or hands) don't come equipped with turbo. For now, I'll be making a berry baby hat for her.

Then, after THAT, there's another birthday pressy I want to knit up! Its the Ms. Marigold but it'll be in barn red. I guess it'll be called "Ms. Barn Red..."

Oh yeah! I've finished my 2nd Clappy! Just 3 more to go...
This one is going out to AJB's very special Kindergarten teacher.

That's it for the knitting! Hmmm...when am I going to be able to knit something for myself??
