It was recently brought to my attention that the last paragraph of my Chevron Love Hat pattern is missing! Part of the second was also cut off in the translation from .doc file to .pdf! Damnit! I can’t believe I missed that one, my brain must have seriously been mush after staring at the screen for hours. Anywho, with the help of a lovely women who works at my local copy shop, I’m in good shape, and I’ve recreated the pdf, so that it looks exactly the way I originally intended it to be.

You can re-download the file here.

Chuck would like to apologize for any confusion due to his silly humans mistake.
Silly Human.

It’s also in my sidebar in case you don’t feel like downloading it right now. It will stay there indefinitely. Thanks!!

Hey I’m back! For those interested in the important stuff, Shop Update will be today! Time TBD, but probably mid afternoon. I will be sure to post about it though.

The update is up! Thanks everybody for being so patient! Next update will probably be roughly the same time next week.

Here’s some Randomness to ease the re-entry into the less than tropical P’burgh weather.

* I did a wee little bit of knitting, I finished a knitting a blob.

A blob otherwise known as an Elizabeth Zimmermann Baby Surprise Jacket. I’ve never knit one before, but always wanted to. A few weeks ago Brandt and I went to Philly for a minute, and If I’m driving across PA to Philly, I’ll be damned if I’m not going to go to Loop. While we were there, I drooled over their Koigu selection for a minute, and noticed they had a sample BSJ knit up in Koigu KPPPM, I loved it immediately. So tiny, so squooshy in all that garter stitch, and it was green! I almost bought yarn and cast on that very second. But I waited until we got home the next day.

I finished it on the plane ride down, just have to seam and sew on some buttons. I started a second almost immediately!

* I cast on for a pair of Monkeys. In red yarn I dyed awhile back. They will be Love Monkeys.

*I dare you to tell me that this isn’t so cute it makes your teeth hurt-

I love it when Gladys and (not so) Little Dude snuggle up. Three of my cats are litter mates, and they always like to sleep by each other, the other cat, not so much.

* It’s nice to be home again. And it’s SPRING! I don’t care if it is 40 degrees out, it’s still spring!!

Couldn’t let today go by without flashing some green yarn now could I? This was acquired at Threadbear Fiber Arts, in Lansing, Michigan, sometime around Thanksgiving. It’s Dream in Color “Smooshy” sock yarn, and I lurve it. I only wish I had a second skein. I’ve always wanted to knit a EZ February Baby Sweater, and I think it would look great in this.

Currently, I’m on a small break from my regular world, I’m in St. Thomas until Saturday. Regular posting (or as regular as it gets around here!) and shop updates to resume next week.
Smooch!
