Harry Potter Swap anyone?

I have decided that I need to blog more so that I can get in on this Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap. I found out about the swap on the Ravelry news this week and it sounds like something I would love to get in. It is a 2-3 month long swap. You swap one package with lots of goodies, play games, and get to know some new people. What is not to love about that. My only concern is that too many people will want to be a part of the fun and I won't get in! :0
Here is a link to the swapping fun!

Other than looking forward to swap fun, I also finished my Clapotis this week. I am currently blocking it for a second time. The first time I blocked it way too flat (I wanted to reduce the curling and wash out the color that bled all over my hands when I knit it, but I went way to overboard). So I made it wet again and kind of pushed the dropped stitches together so I hopefully bring back the waviness it had. UGH! I'll post pics soon!

Updates galore

FO's

Some things that I finished a while ago and never took pics of:

A simple ribbed hat for my dad

And a mason-dixon washcloth for my grandmother (which I ended up knitting in cotton instead of the cotton chenille).

Another WIP

The Lanaloft I bought was screaming my name and I had to start knitting with it. The girls from Knit Knite talked me into the clapotis (instead of the bag, and not that I really needed much convincing). I have to say that I am totally in love with knitting this and am so behind on my Christmas knitting! (Sorry mom but those slippers might not get finished before our family Christmas and they might end up being a birthday present instead...)


Sesame Street Live

Even though this was a few weeks ago now, I had to say that Ollie loved seeing Sesame Street! He was glued to the stage the whole time!! Here he is totally into the show and wearing the wonderful wallaby I knit him!
