I don't normally like pooling at all, but these I think, I like!

I also finished Miss Sarah's blanket!

Tiny tiny newborn shorties

My friend Sarah is having baby boy #4 in a few months. I wanted to make her something to celebrate her new little prince!





The yarn was dyed by an amazing artist, TJ. (Here's her Etsy)

I think it's obvious...

...I am the World's Worst Blogger. I think I should get a big shiny button or something that says that.

I have been busy knitting though.

First up
Heather's WSK skirty. The colorway is Monica and I am in love. (I was totally going to put some Friends reference, but thought better of it.)

Next, some shorties for MY son. I know, right? Knitters never have time to knit for their own children. I'm sure the same is true for sewers, crochet, etc.

This is Mosaic Moon's Copper Patina colorway. It's on this fabulously spongy yarn called Marr Haven Rambouilet.

These are for a mama on tgm.com (goodmama forum) Also pay no mind to the strings, they will be cut off before mailing ;)

They are Alligator Knits Woof colorway, but this yarn was handpainted vs. kettle dyed.

And finally. My first blanket!

Julian, my 3 year old, is in preschool. He goes two days a week, for 2 hours. He adores his teacher, Miss Sarah. Miss Sarah is having a baby girl a few days after they get out of school, and I decided I would knit her a blanket. I've had this pattern for a while now, and what a better reason to try it out, than with a deadline and for a wonderful lady!

Julian picked out the purple yarn out of 3 possible colors, pink (of course!), sage green, and purple.

I also finished some Cheese Toast shorties for my BFFF's little guy, Benjamin, but forgot to take photos! Sorry Barb!
