More than Meets the Eye

It’s been awhile since I posted notes on my knitting but I have been working on a few new things.

I promised my brother a Transformer hat months ago but it wasn’t until I saw the preview for the movie that I even remembered this. It only took about a day to knit and I think I’ll make one for myself with sparkly yarn.
















Speaking of my brother, how hilarious is this picture he had taken of him and his baby boy Duke?
My Little Pony. (Saddle and booties not included.)











For Mothers Day I knit a Sophie Bag using Patons SWS yarn. The actually knitting was super easy but the felting did result in me giving myself a mild first degree burn on my hands. The things I do for my loved ones. I really like the shape of this bag and the twisted handles are very cute. I highly recommend it.



















For my Dad I'm making a pair of socks from the WWII red cross pattern that is online. The pattern is wonderfully easy and knits up quickly.





















For my in progress projects I’ve got to lace items in the works. I’ve got a lace cardigan from VK Holiday 2005 and a Print O the Wave shawl in a rich red.














More animal cuteness: My Dad found a guinea pig wandering around the yard back home. So adorable with its beady eyes and squeaky voice. He named it Caviar. Animals just seem to gravitate towards the house. Bunnies, turtles, and now guinea pigs.
