Definately not in need of a new project for now

We're building a new house, in which we're moving in in a month.

The kids' playroom will be in the basement. And for the time being, we're not gonna put carpet in, we'll just paint the cement floor. It's going to be cold for feet down there.

So I'm knitting slippers. All kinds of slippers. I've printed out about a dozen patterns, and I will make a pair of slippers per pattern. All different. A very good way to get rid of my old stash of synthetic yarns.

No ugly boring regular phentex slippers at my house.

Despite my pink and green baby longies project, yesterday I made a slipper using this pattern http://ingridknits.tripod.com/lenore.htm. And I cast one and knit about a dozen rows from this pattern http://www.duke.edu/~ect3/knitting/slippers_pattern.html. Very cool.

And I also have my big comfy shawl ongoing. I'm about half way done on this.

I have too many cool things going on at once!

Ongoing and done projects

My current project





Fetching gloves I made a while back


A blanket I made


Another blanket I made as a gift for my cousin's newborn daughter



The baby pants I'm making (almost finished!) for my son

Everyone's doing a knitting blog so why can't I?

Bonus point to whoever realized I was channeling The Cranberries.

Images of past, present and future work to come soon.
