Most update more

Since my last post here, I made:
-I finished the pink and gren baby longies I was making
-I made a ruffled soaker with leftover yarn from the longies
-A hat for me, but didnt check my gauge, so it ended up being a hat for my stepdaughter A
-A cute poncho for stepdaughter M with girly colors with yarn from my stash
-Approximately 4 more pairs of slippers for the house

See how cute that slipper was:


I started-a cute crocheted baby blanket for a friend who is due in June. I'm almost done that.
-started these pedicure socks. It was my first time knitting socks, and holymotherofthegods I held the yarn way way way too tight and when I was almost done the first one, I tried it on and it wouldnt go over my heel. Unravelled it altogther.
-Tried my hand at extreme knitting. I cast on and knit a few rows and realized I totally could do this.

On top of those dog slippers I made up there for sd M, I made bunny slippers for sd A and bear slippers for son A. They look so good that coworker S wants me to make three pairs for her nieces and nephew. I am charging her 30 bucks for all three pair. I have to get started on those and since I am bored to death of knitting slippers, I am going to use that technique and double knit them. I could use a challenge, and to make that extra challenging, I am also using two strands of yarn to make those slippers. Now we'll see if I'm in this for real...

After the slippers, I plan to:
-start another crochet blanket from a pattern found
-start and finish the pedicure socks again, double knitting them this time.
-get started on a pair of socks using the nice and (rather) pricey yarn I bought at L'Éffiloché the other day.

And let's not forget that I still have that shawl I started. I'm about halfway through and havent worked on it for months now. Boo me.
