A Little Pick-Me Up
I just needed to finish something to give myself a boost. So cast this little hat on last night and had it finished this morning after breakfast. It is the baby hat from “One Skein.” I am going to try to make a little matching pair of booties or socks. Any pattern suggestions?

Why do I Torture Myself?!?!
Meet my new knitting tote to carry my works in progress:
The two things that bit me in the butt…the zipper and those silly curved side panels. I hit myself in the head once…I guess trying to knock some sense into myself! But it is done and it is functional. Now I have two more totes (one bigger & one smaller) cut out and ready to be sewn, but they are on hold until I forget how stupid I am to want to sew these bags!

Anxiety Attack!
Where to start…
I (and my Momma, Robin) met up with some extremely cool Get Stitchy! gals today, Karen & Sarah Lou. They were rockin’ out some gorgeous socks! We all met at Threadbear in Lansing, which I might mention needs to invest in a larger (read: visible from the road) sign! I actually had two projects in mind that I needed yarn for….didn’t help the process much. I walked in and was completely overwhelmed with the massive selection and proceeded to feel clammy and anxiety was taking over. At any rate, it was fun to just sit and watch everyone knit after I purchased my fiber goodies.
I have started my Rusted Root sweater (yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece in Terracotta Canyon)…I am so in love with this sweater! But I think I need to lay it aside for just a bit (maybe just tonight?) so I can get started on those little boy blue sweaters. I am hoping to have enough yarn left over to make a matching pair of socks to go with the sweaters. I am also hoping to crank out an elephant and maybe at least one of his safari friends.
Ok, so I’ve gone a little link happy with this post! I will leave you with a picture of my Rusted Root progress:
