Busy Knittin' STUFF

Here.  Is what I've been up to lately.

I'm hormonal.  Shut up.

 

Remember I asked for TEACAKES?  I called out unto the universe, and the universe gaveth teacakes to me.  The universe is Nanjeeka - my new Scottish friend and Tunnocks Distributor.  I got chocolate covered marshmellow and graham cracker, she got these little doodads.  Neato eh?  I love this pattern.  It's a quick knit...and perfect for long hair lassies who don't like stuffing all that bidness up into a regular cap.  Not to mention, I can't stand the patterns with a little hole in the hat for the ponytail.  It just looks weird.  If you ask me.

And finally...my latest project!!!  I dream of this one.  I roll over in the middle of the night and contemplate knitting a few rows at 3am. 

Here is what the final should look like:

Here is the backside of mine almost complete.  I am using pima cotton instead of linen. 

  How friggin awesome is that?

I love the shawl/sweater thing that you are making. I would totally wear something like that but I can't knit to save my life.

Will you marry me, Stella? I mean...I know you're married already and I'm engaged, but I need a wife who can knit cute stuff like this. And I don't think our men will care as long as we talk about boobs together a lot.

What say ya?

Man I hate you. I mean I hate you in that way that I really just want to BE you. Will you please move somewhere close to me so I can beg you for that little pink sweater? Oh, and the beanies? And while I'm at it, the hair eyes and ankles?
Great. Thanks.

You are such a talented knitter! I wish I could knit. I spent a LONG time trying to learn from a DVD but never really understood. *sigh*

STELLA! Have you eaten, bathed or slept since we went to the yarn store??? That looks great. And to think you have taken most of the directions over the phone...hehehe.

i think women in other countries need those head things. you should knit them and send them to random villages via missionaries.

They're here - I'm wearing the little brown beanie right now. They are even nicer in real life than they look in your photos! Thank you Stella! It's been special.

BABY IS SO COLD...SO COLD.

THAT SUCKS TO HAVE THINGS RUPTURE ON YOUR LADY PARTS. YOU CAN STILL HAVE KIDS...YOU JUST HAVE TO SCHEDULE A C-SECTION. THAT WAY YOU GET THE CATHETER AFTER THE SPINAL SO YOU DON'T FEEL A THING :) OH YEAH-UNTIL AFTER, WHEN THE PAIN MEDS WEAR OFF AND THE ONES THEY GIVE YOU DON'T COMPARE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO GET YOU UP AND WALKING AND THE ONLY WAY YOU GET SOLID FOOD IS IF YOU FART. YOU DON'T GET TO LEAVE THE HOSPITAL UNTIL YOU POOP AND THE THOUGHT OF THAT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR INCISION WILL RUPTURE (B/C THE PAIN MEDS MAKE YOU CONSTIPATED)--YEAH...MAYBE YOU SOULDN'T HAVE CHILDREN--ADOPT INSTEAD: (SORRY ABOUT THE ALL CAPS, BUT I AM NOT RETYPING IT NOW:))
