Progress for the Stitch Bunny!
Okay - so FINALLY - as promised...... Pictures!!! I'm not a liar, I swear....just sloooooow. And now having recuperated from the head cold/flu/mystery virus from H-E-double hockey sticks, I can finally get
some work done on this blog!!!
First up..... Pia!! In all her pink pink glory!! I loved knitting this - quick and easy! I knit her up in Rowan All Seasons Cotton and used magazine 35 for the pattern. LOVE IT!!! Of course....the day after I
finished her, the temp dropped to 60 degrees and hasn't really raised since..... sigh.
Please Note: This was the first time I had to take pics of myself! Props to all of you that do such a good job with this - for I truly SUCK at taking my own photo!! Hee! Eep!
Next - a smaller project that somehow took me over 9 months to finish....a scarf. LOL. I knit her up in Colinette Fandango and Giotto - both in
the Morocco Colourway - on US 11 bamboo needles. She is soft and FUZZY and cuddly to the max!! I set her aside after being distracted (okay.....tempted then lured!) by a few other projects that seemed much more interesting at the time! (Let's see.....my French Market Bag....then Honeymoon....then that Cross Strap Tank.....yeah NOT rectangles......) Anyhow, she has finally arrived and I luff her!
And now some progress pics - because goodness knows I can't sit
still!!!
I recently joined Drew's Man-Along! Here is the progress I have made so far on Bune's Skully sweater!!! Yeee!! He will look so handsome! ;)
And then we have a little mystery birthday surprise!
My Pop's birthday is October 10th (only 3 days after mine!) so I have been working on something for him. It was going to be one thing and then I kept messing up....and finally took it as a sign that the yarn wanted no part in that project. So it was transformed into something else! He reads this blog (I hope!!) so I can't divulge anymore just yet.... But here is a clue! He is a VP of sales at a corporation and his territory just got moved around so he will be up here in the North more often - and it gets cold up here!! Maybe this present might help stave off the chill? Hmmm? I guess we'll just have to wait and see!!

Wow -- Pia is GORGEOUS. And I'm jealous you have the figure for it.
My dad's birthday is the same day as your dad's birthday! I haven't made him anything because I don't know what to make. Men are harder to do handmade gifts for... I mean, my pop won't even wear a sweater! I can't wait to see how your "birthday surprise" turns out.
