I love this green. I'm not sure who this is for yet. None of the people having babies have found out if they are girls or boys. I did buy some dark blue in this same yarn for another one like this. I'm planning on knitting the same pattern in red, as well, because my cousin's fave color is red and he's going to make his kid like red.

Blue ribbon!
Eeep! I actually got a blue ribbon! Kinda exciting. I still don't really like how it turned out and I'm thinking about ripping it out and doing some more felting. Or whatever. Maybe I'll felt it as is and see if it will fight one of my nieces.

I really liked how this bag turned out. The judges didn't like my yo-yo's. They thought I should have done felted flowers.. Whatever. I'm more of a mixed media kinda person to begin with.
I am thinking about taking the yo-yo's off and doing some embroidery on it... or maybe some buttons.

State Fair Knit-along
Well, I guess I mentioned doing the State Fair Knit-along in my last post. It's getting closer to the time to turn my stuff in and I'm not quite done with them. I have some ends to weave in on my Blackberry, and the One Skein Wonder. I'm not too happy with the baby hat, so I might buy new yarn and re-knit it. Katja is ready too go. My felted bag needs some more felting and some decorating. I was thinking of putting some yo-yo's on it.
Needless to say, I'm going to be crafting all day today. However, I might get distracted by the baby sweater I'm knitting out of Last Minute Knitted Gifts cuz it's coming along nice and fast (0-6 month size). It's out of Plymouth yarn's Fantasy Naturale 100% cotton mercerized. I'm loving it. I used it for my niece's Katja and it turn out nice. I love how this yarn is so soft once knit... And it's relatively cheap, compaired to some of the other cotton's I've come across in various LYS.
Oh, and I have pictures!
