I continue to be an idiot

Sometimes I wonder how I am even able to function let alone be crafty. Seriously.

I've been working on a newborn set for my new neice who is set to make her appearance in the world in August. We just found out she will be a neice, so I'm using the yarns I got in the magic ball swap for her. A set from LTK, pilot cap, easy peasy cardigan & felted mocs. I did contrasting yarn for the mocs, finished them, threw them in the washer & was putting the final touches on the cardigan. Pulled them out & guess what...come on...you know what's coming...yes, I used leftover SUPERWASH wool yarn. Other than that they felted beautifully. URG!!!!!

I think I'll give them to the parents to be anyway & tell them the real mocs will come later. They are just thrilled to be having a girl so I have to take what I have this weekend. It's the soon to be big brother's 3rd birthday party this weekend. His birthday (today) is the day after mine. Love that!!!

But hey, I get to roll in European wares again soon. We're going Back To Bavaria Baby!!!! It's the Torres European Tour Part Deux!!!

Oh no! I am loving superwash right now though for when I don't want to felt things... I was on a big malabrigo kick for awhile.

Ah, Part Deux... hurrah!

Making things can be so frustrating, can't it? But generally it's all worth it in the end!
