yarn stash for wool. Here are some pic's of what the Wool Soakers look like. These are actually made by a lady for money. But they look awesome. there are tons of patterns to make out there. I like knitting in the round so I am mostly looking for patterns like that. I can't wait till my baby gets here so I can take her measurements and custom fit them to her. Now all I have to find is liquid lanolin for the lanolizing. Some sights suggested Eucalan to wash it with and lanolize it. I'll probably end up buying some of that anyways.Anyways an update on my current projects I finished on of my husbands fingerless gloves I of course have yet to take a picture of it, but he tried them on and they fit perfectly. The only that has to be redone is the bind off around the fingers is a little tight so I am going to undo that and bind off again with elastic thread that will give him plenty of stretch. I don't know if I explained this project already so excuse me if I am being repetitious. My husband is a web programmer and spends all of his time on a computer. In the winter time his hands (especially his mouse hand) get really cold. The other problem is he has really large hands (I had to adapt the pattern to his size !) so most commercial fingerless gloves are to tight. So I of course jumped to the challenge and began working on adapting a pattern to fit him. He loves them so far and hopefully he will remember to wear them in the winter time. I will take a picture and upload it the next time I post with specific information on them.
Most of my other projects haven't been worked on in a while. Every time I am just about to finish that sweater I started days ago I just think of my lap sweating and I don't want to work on it. I'm almost done so I think i'll just buckle down and finish it. It's really pretty so I do want to work on it. I think the only other project that I have left is the swallowtail shawl that keep meaning to start for my mother in law (I have till Christmas to finish). The lace pattern is really complicated though so i'm not sure yet how to start it.
I take it back there is another project that I want to start. I joined the Anime Krafters KAL and have decided that the project that I want to do for that KAL is a pair of tabi socks. I already have the yarn so I just have to get going. I need to post on there too, I think that i'll probably do that when I get home tonight. Well I gotta go post again later.
