The bunny’s so cute! And the handspun is fabulous. I have the itch to sew something again–unfortunately nothing I sew turns out quite as nice as I’d like, but I guess there’s a learning curve there.

wow.. those schematics put Phildar and their crazy French patterns to shame.

Speaking of, I’m translating the whole Baby Pants pattern and can give you a copy as you requested sometime ago. I’ve decided to make another one in less scratchy yarn.

I really like this kimono version for two reasons:
the little collar adds a punch and the cross-over is higher on the body so it has less chance to gape open over babies’ round tummies.

personally i’d be extremely vague on the felting for dotty for reasons that most people will subsitute what ever they have that will felt in its place. LOVE the yarn you made and I can completely understand why you may get the knitting hump.

The yarn you made is so pretty! I can’t wait to see what it looks like knit up.

What is this simple-but-epic sweater? Have you been holding out?

Ah, the “other crafts craze”. I’ve been infected as well, and I’ve actually sewed something this week. *gasp*

And as gorgeous as that handspun looks, I might have to finally do something about that Merino roving I’ve been stashing.

Ohhhhh, bitten by the spinning (or rather, plying) bug!

Are you going to look at any wheels in Maryland? It’s a great place to try out a variety of different ones . . . (not that I’m trying to, ahem, influence you or anything! :)
