ok, i've got a spare 8 minutes before i need to get in the shower so i thought that i would throw this post up and be on with the day.

started two new projects last weekend. one i'm crazy about. the other i think that i was crazy to start.

first, the love:

the ming is lovely (by gleek.net)
the ming is lovely

started flair by knitandtonic wendy. full details on ravelry. the good things? the yarn. ming from artfibers is just luscious in every way possible. soft and shiny, and the colors are amazing! i'm enjoying knitting with it so far. the drape is going to be very serious so i decided not to do buttons/buttonholes. i'm going to do snaps instead. i have some large sew-on ones from joann.com and i'm going to back them with felt before putting them on. should work. we'll see.

ming seed stitch (by gleek.net)
sorry about the overexposure

looks good in seed stitch too! happy day.

the not-so-in-love:

cotton puff (by gleek.net)
cotton hell

a bath puff (ravelry). boring and hard on my hand. i can't believe that there are several people on ravelry who have made SEVERAL of these. i want to claw my eyes out and it's only the second row. i'm going to finish it though and move on. i need a bath puff. if it turns out to be a horrible bath puff, i'll chuck it and buy a new one for $3 at the pharmacy. no biggie.

i have good video of the peanut crawling but that will take me at least 15 minutes to upload. in the meantime, look who's trying to stand?! good lord.

Hee hee, I also thought that the Peanut was doing the downward dog :)
Your silk Flair is looking divine! Score one for cardigans.

Cameron has started standing with his hands on the floor, too! It stresses me out. :-) But, he's already fallen several times and it is clearly more traumatic for me than it is for him.

Baby Butts in the air. Just ripe for biting! No wonder she cries when she sees me. Probably knows my intentions. &;-)

Woo boy, she's on her way up!

I love the idea of snaps on your drapey Flair. Those colors are lovely, too. I can't wait to see how it progresses!

the yarn you're using for flair is beautiful. this is going to be so pretty.
i often wish that i'd used snaps on many cardigans, i think they'll work out great for this.

the nut looks so tall, i can't believe she's working on standing! yikes!

Oooh! She's so close to standing! How exciting. Thanks for the heads up on the bath puff, I think you have me convinced to un-queue it.
