Kermit

I'm so on a roll with this blogging thing. I'm not sure why I have such a hard time thinking of posts. I have a million things I want to blog about and I sit down and my mind goes blank. Could it be that my pregnancy brain in lingering? Okay so I'm just gonna post about another pair of woollies.

Mods knit until the cuffs were 8 inches

Love how these fit! The legs took forever though, I think I had the body knit in two days.

This is why I am not a seamstress!

Ok this is so embarrassing. I finally got a day off and decided to pull out my sewing machine and start sewing my yellow star baby blanket. I had already cut both layers and the batting, tacked it down with pale yellow cotton embroidery thread so it was ready for the binding.

I even looked up directions online.

So it started out ok!But quickly took a turn for the worse.

My machine kept pulling the satin to the side. So on some sides I ran off and then had to go over them again. Then in some places I had 1/4 seam...sigh

I had small puckers!

I had parts where the machine wouldn't push the material through so it has bunched up stitches! The corners...oh the corners! Not an even one to be seen after the first kinda straight one...

Such a cute blanket but such awful binding...

I think I'm gonna leave it this way. You know the awful part is that I'm having to hold myself back from running to Jo-Anns to get more fabric, batting and binding to see if practice makes perfect...lol...I should really just go work on James' socks and the Bee shawl....Pictures of that maybe tomorrow(:

Mr Jack loves his toy that his Mama crocheted then fulled for him...

Busy

I really have been working on a lot of things..(not getting much finished but still progress) It has been so pretty here, we've spent tons of time at the city pool and in the backyard with the wienies...Anyways here is a FO

Fuzzy Feet, Patons Wool, Size 10 1/2 bamboo dpnds, wayyyy too long. I don't even remember when I co for these. I can crank out a set in about three days if I'm motivated, I think I am now burned out:)
