New Photos Coming Soon!

I seem to have resolved my photo issue, but now I actually need to take some photos for posting!


I am also trying to figure out how to make a "works in progress" column for the sidebar. I'm not sure if I should try to edit the html of my template or just generate a new one.


Today I had to go to the bead store to get a bead for a friend (she's moving to Costa Rica, which is why I included it on my list of places to visit! We're making a bracelet for her tonight.) and I picked up a couple of beads to try to make stitch markers. I will post a photo of my finished product along with whatever other pics strike my fancy tomorrow.


And finally, a quick rant about the sweater I've started for my 17mo. daughter. The pattern I'm using is from Debbie Bliss' Celtic Knits, its the smock jacket. Initially I planned to make the size 2 or 3, as Alethia is beginning to outgrow her 18mo sized clothes. Then I measured to pick which one. That size 3 pattern is big enough to fit my 5yo! I quickly decided to use the smallest size, which is 1 year. I've cast on and knit the first 6cm of the back....and I can't believe how wide it is! So, is Debbie Bliss just completely out there as far as sizing? I mean, none of her women's patterns are bigger than a 36" chest....but the children of these tiny women are supposed to be giants! This is still the prettiest sweater I've ever seen, and in the kfi cashmereno its going to be amazingly soft and beautiful. Wish me luck!
