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!

Hedgehogs?

Well, I finished the Huggable Hedgehog yesterday. This was my first felted item and I was surprised how well it went. I had been worried because I have a front loader washing machine, but it all went very well. I love the hedgehog and plan on making more. I think Ollie likes it too and he is surprisingly good at saying hedgehog.

I started on a Mason Dixon washcloth in cotton chenille yesterday. I am not sure what I think about it yet. I feel like the pattern is easy, but I think I should have gone down a needle size and gotten a plain color yarn instead of the print yarn that I got.

I also am super excited to say that I won tickets to take Ollie to see Sesame Street Live today from 'Good day, Columbus', a local talk show on channel 4. It isn't something I typically watch, but I usually put on channel 4 for the news and tabloid type shows at lunch time. Well, we had an early lunch today and this show was on talking about Sesame Street Live coming this week. At the end they gave away tickets and low and behold I was caller 5!! Can't wait to go!!!
