Merry Christmas!

From our family to yours.

Happy Birthday Present? Check check.

Pattern: Baby to Toddler Socks from Mimknits
Started: November 16, 2006
Finished: December 5, 2006
Yarn: Left over from the Jaywalkers. Confetti Superwash Color number 03.006

Notes: I was 3 rows short of yarn. Luckily, I had another ball of Confetti in another colorway that had the same brown in it. So I used it to finish it off. Also being that it took almost 3 weeks for me to finish a pair of baby socks is pretty sad. This is why I have a hard time knitting stuff. I try. I really do...Hopefully the kid will fit them. Notice the shirt it is pictured with. That is also part of the gift.

I recently borrowed the Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook from the library. They have an interesting pattern where one is able to knit socks back and forth on 2 needles instead of the double points. I find this interesting and I wonder if I would be able to do this quickly on my knitting machine...I see some experimentation in the near future.

More Socks

One finished baby sock. It's intended for a friend's baby's birthday present in mid December. Obviously, it's the same yarn as my Jaywalker. I'm just using the leftovers. However, I'm not sure that I have enough yarn for the second sock. I guess we'll find that out soon since I've just started on the heel flap. Looks like it's going to be close...

Next Best Thing...

it's too cold to take him outside...

Smurfday!

made this cake for my cousin from wilton cake pan circa 1983!

(Almost) Instant Socks.

The smaller the socks, the faster they knit up. I like that. No recipient for these for now, as all the babies I know are bigger than 0-3m. Haha. We are hoping to start a family soon, so perhaps I'll just collect these for laters.

Pattern: Heel and Toe socks from 50 Baby Booties to Knit
Yarn: Socks that Rock - I forget which colorway
Started: About September 28, 2006
Finished: November 6, 2006

Notes: I mentioned in an earlier post that I ripped out the first sock because, stupid me, forgot the heel flap. No wonder it looked funny to me. But it's all good now. =)

Rustic

Last week I got a pasta roller machine thing. So tonight, I got the chance to make my own pasta. I just used the basic pasta recipe that came with the machine roller. The pasta totally tasted homemade. And that's not a bad thing! It was quite a bit of work, but I'd have to say, it was definitely worth it! TASTY!

Homemade fetticine with scratch alfredo sauce (just cream, parm cheese, and margerine) and mixed greens. Almond Jello with fruit cocktail for dessert. DELICIOUS!
