Yarn: 1 skein Claudia Hand Painted Sport
Needles: sz US 8 DPNs
Dates: sometime last fall-July 2008

Thoughts: edges curl under even with severe blocking. Oh well - it is still pretty. The repeat was easy to memorize and went quickly when I worked on it!

Pattern: Magic Slippers
Yarn: Hill Country Yarns Sweet Feet
Needles: Sz US 3 DPNs

Pattern: Saartje's Bootees
Yarn: leftover Mirasol Hacho
Needles: I think size 3.....
Dates: June 2008 - buttons sewn on in July
Mods: none
Thoughts: not sure I like the white buttons - I may switch them for some yellow ones. And this picture is the worst of the bunch, but I know if I wait to retake it, I'll never get this posted.
The finishing continues, though I sorely want to cast on for a February Lady Sweater - I think it would be great for the fall when I'm nursing. However, I am showing great restraint, since I'm excited about the numbers of things getting done around here. Maybe I'll start it when school starts, and try to finish it up before the bean gets here. At any rate, I'm off to try to finish a sleeve today, and maybe a baby sweater!
Again with the friggin sideways pictures! I don't think it's a blogger issue, I think it has to do with my iphoto program and my camera, but I don't know how to fix it, and I don't know they are going to be sideways until I upload them, and frankly, once they're uploaded, I'm out of blogging time, so I don't want to mess with them. My apologies - they were crappy pictures anyway.
Congratulations on the finished objects.
ReplyDeleteI saw a Feb. Lady sweater on Ravelry worn as a maternity sweater, too. It's very versatile. Go for it!
I just posted my FO picture of this sweater today on my blog. Check it out.
Those booties are really cute! Gorgeous scarves, too. No clue about the landscape vs portrait orientation of your photos. :(
ReplyDeleteCute booties!
ReplyDeleteI know one cannot predict things like that, but I am set on September 17th as the delivery date. I definitely hope she's not going to be late!!
The booties are great. My computer has the same issues with pictures. I'm not sure how to fix it so if you figure it out let me know. They look fine in iPhoto and the orientation is correct so I just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteBTW, when are you due again? I can't remember. :)
