KnittyBug

I was swatching the other night.

I love this color and this yarn. Lime in Cotton-ease is actually more like a granny apple color. Well I guess that’s sort of lime colored but when I think of lime I think of a fushia too. You know those super bright colors that all kids summer outdoorsy toys are. Anyways this is not bright like that…at all..and I love it. I really like green and I’ve noticed that I have a lot of green in my wardrobe. I’m going to try to start branching out soon but I end up always picking either the green tee or whatever. Oh the swatch is for Butterfly from Knitscene.

I also swatched for the Short Sleeve Cardigan from Vogue, but I don’t think I have enough yarn. So I might scratch that for now or swap out for a different color. ;)

We went to the craft store today to find Brea a handle but had no luck. I did however pick up a couple new buttons….that were singles….so I don’t feel so bad about the left over button. I’ll post try-out pics of the buttons later. The little bird house is for Peanut to paint for the little birdies to live in…that’s what she said. J The needles are size 6, 7 because it seams I always want to start something new when I’m already using that size for something else. Besides it doesn’t hurt to have spares. ;)



I also did it again. I need to join magazine anonymous! But I did say that after I picked up the summer issue of IK I wouldn’t buy any more….this summer. I just have a quick question …um why are there hats in there? Winter hats picture with people wearing winter coats. I read somewhere (sorry can’t remember where or from who) but someone also questions this and why there were a few more colder weather things in there. Maybe it was to give some projects for current wear and then future wear. Who knows. Really I’m not venting or meaning to sound that way…it’s just the thought of knitting a winter hat right now is making me sweat even worse. ;) It’s just too hot to even consider it.

In our out and abouts today I realized how hot it was when Peanuts cheeks started looking like apples. We had to stop in and get a Misto shake from Rita’s . Peanut loves them. Too bad they don’t have a kid size but I end up drinking hers and mine. Maybe that’s a good thing. :)

To end my rambling (the heat seams to do that to me) I will show you what I found in my house.
