I am running out of yarn. I am about halfway thru this scarf that I have fallen in love with and it is going to be way too short. I have mentioned in the part the siren named Lola who lives in this yarn. I thought perhaps maybe she checked out since all was going so well. Oh no. Lola was merely silent for a spell composing her new song. For my non-knitting pals this means that even if I get the same color it will not be an exact match due to dye lot business. I am not giving up on this scarf as I am too in love with it. I merely have to find a way to peel myself off the rocks before some monstrous sea creature finds me.

What Have I Been Up To?
Besides losing my mind? First I haven't had much time to post with all the sleep issues going on. It always seems to be 2 steps forward and like 10 back. Sigh.
Ah, looks like clogs that need to be felted.

Tofustsies socks done! Wavy scarf on its way. Now that damn scarf is being a pain. First the yarn wouldn't take to any pattern. Then I get going on the current pattern and screw it up. Then I drop a stitch on a cable row and have to rip out a few rows. Picture me sitting at the table for like 45 min with a whole bunch of sock circulars stuck in to keep stitches from getting away. It was a delicate surgery. I used to believe a mermaid lived in this yarn. Now I know its a siren and she loves to see me crash on the rocks. Her name is Lola. Miserable siren!

I am unsure of this yarn. I have started the Monkey sock from Knitty. We shall see. The sock is the gauge check so this may all be ripped out very soon.

A cotton bib in progress. Almost done really just needs a cord. Ta Da the felted slippers!

You see every spare minute I can steal has been knitting, which is why I am behind with the blog. Knitting keeps me from pulling my hair out and I am shedding enough with the nursing that if I relax my knitting I will be bald. Apparently my grand scheme to keep my "on the needles" projects to a minimum has failed miserably. I choose to accept who I am. At least I complete them all eventually. The beast stirs.
What is Buby wearing?
