FO: Fuzzy Feet

I love my Fuzzy Feet!!!

Before:

After:

They are so cute and comfy. And felting is so fun! They were a very quick and easy knit. I'll probably have to whip off a few more of these for gifts! I'm wearing them right now and my feet are toasty warm. This is a very good thing considering that Aidan won't let us turn the heat on yet. He likes to beat out the year before in how long we wait to turn it on. It's a good thing we live in a townhouse because we are benefiting from the heat of our neighbors!

I'm off work this week on a mini vacation. Owen has had to stay home from preschool these first 3 days because of a nasty cold he received courtesy of one of his little friends. He's starting to get a little stir crazy this afternoon, and he keeps asking when Maeghan will be home. This is a first, he usually wants to know when she'll be leaving! Haha!

Well, that's it for now, I'm off to play an exciting game of Chutes and Ladders...wish me luck!

FO: Ms. Marigold

Finally something finished! It feels like it has been a while! This is Ms. Marigold -we've had a love/hate relationship. I'm leaning towards the love side right now...we'll see how I feel after I give it a wash. I hear alpaca tends to grow, so it may be HUGE afterwards!



I had a real tough time getting gauge with this tank. I ended up going up a few needle sizes from what was called for and getting a somewhat looser fabric which I don't love. It is very soft and comfy though, not itchy at all! I wish I didn't feel so self-conscious when I am wearing stuff I've made myself. Hopefully I'll get over that after I've made a few more things that I like! I will probably make Ms. Marigold again in the spring with a different yarn. MLE made a really nice one out of Rowan Wool Cotton which I may give a try.



Here is my little soccer star. First time playing in goal and he loved every second of it! Why do they have to make the jersey's so large for such a little guy? Poor kid! He looks like he's wearing a dress! Didn't matter to him though, all he care about was diving on the ball anytime it came near the net. Even if diving was completely unnecessary. It was all about getting dirty!
