another day, another project

This has been an incredibly busy week. I didn’t knit at all for several days. Today I got ahold of the cotton-ease yarn I have been waiting for. I have to confess, I never thought I’d use Lion Brand yarn, but this cotton is actually pretty nice. I love how it looks and feels in the seed stitch. I’m about 2/3 of the way done with the base right now…lots of seed stitch but it’s actually been quite relaxing to me tonight.
It’s quite a bit bigger than the picture (and greener), had to take the picture when it was still daylight.
I love that people are making bags and actually using them but I haven’t seen one that grabbed my attention like this one did. If you haven’t seen it, go check out the new Knitty…. byob (bring your own bag).
The little imp got to go to big sis’s this afternoon. When I picked him up, he was playing some race car game on Wii. Man, that kid can drive! He does well against some of the older kids. You know, he does think he is going to be driving a car at 16. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it in putting him off. (heartbreak) But on the Wii, evidently they earn their licenses so maybe that will count for something. It’s awfully interesting raising a child who is many ages rolled into one in one body. It was so sweet, though, when we left big sis asked him to come say goodbye to baby. He gets embarrassed but he puts his hand on her tummy to feel the baby and then looks the other way and talks to it. very sweet.
And now I want to head to bed. I am so tired, saw daylight approaching before I fell asleep and did well all day until about 5. I’d have gone to bed at 7 but it was only the imp and I home much of the evening.

I love seed stitch in Cotton Ease! I’ve used Cotton Ease in several projects and I’ve liked them all!

I saw that pattern and loved it, but was afraid to do anything with Cotton Ease. The last time I knit with cotton (not CE, can’t remember what it was), my wrists were down for the count for weeks. Maybe the blend will be easier to work with.
Guess I’m off yarn shopping in the morning!
