Ok, I finished up the knitting for my Seasons Round swap package. Don't forget today is the last day for sign ups! I do have to say that they came out so cute! I can't say what they are because one of you may end up my swap partner and I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise! I just need to gather a couple things from nature and my package will be set to go. I'm already dreaming up what I will make for the winter Seasons Round swap.
Toasties
I finally got around to blocking my toasties I knit last winter so they are all set for this fall in Oregon. I plan on finishing up my Odessa hat to go with them. These were the very first thing I knit for myself (and sadly, still the only thing I have knit for myself so far). I hope to find more time, somehow, to make things for myself a bit more.
Gotta love the colors
I've been working on a little yarn dyeing project for my friend Shelley and it's almost done and ready to mail.
My special pattern for our trip on the Oregon Trail came in the mail a couple days ago so I am mentally preparing to start on that and I am about to cast on K's birthday sweater. I found some super yummy malabrigo in the floral colorway to knit it up in (yes, C will have a matching one as well!).
Lastly, I thought I would share one of K's current WIPs. Her kitty bed. She has been pretending to be a kitty a lot lately. She needed a comfy place to sleep so she stole my laundry basket,some blankets and one of our wool rugs.
Voila! Instant kitty bed. The real kitties have been enjoying it too!
I will try and get pics of all the above mentioned for later in the week. On a more personal note, thank you again everyone for all your help with our house hunting. I still owe a couple of you e-mails and I promise to get back to you soon!! <3
Happy Creating!

The toasties are cute! I'm excited about the Seasons Round swap too, but I haven't started on mine yet. I'm kind of waiting to see who I get paired with. :) K makes a cute little kitten!
