That Damn Piggle

It's done.

I put a couple of i-cord piggles on the top too. :-) Haven't even blocked it or washed it or anything yet. Don't know when I will see it again. LOL Dd wore it to school on Friday just in time for crazy hair day. She wore it to ice skating lessons on Saturday. A woman came up to me & asked where I got it. A compliment I desperately needed after the blood, sweat & tears I put into this hat. Many thanks to Amarismama/Amy for holding my hands through those godawful decreases. I love this hat; I hate these decreases.

Official Fetching count

Seven. Lol I think I've officially memorized the pattern.

These two sets above are for a very good friend of mine & for me. The bi-colored ones are for Ulli who knit the scarf in the background for me for Christmas 2 years ago. She made herself the same scarf. I made us coordinating fetching. Hers match perfect, mine coordinate, but I couldn't justify buying more yarn. There is getting to be too much already!

I'm still agonizing over piggle

but I think I've finally figured it out, thanks to my kal friend...but not before I have to rip back to the piggie holes again. This is just one of those things I have had a hard time wrapping my head around a section.

Also working on a panta for my neice who is getting a matching pair of fetching with them for her birthday. Ok, her birthday was last week, but I'm getting there.

Most importantly, these will be coming with me this weekend to my doula training. I am so excited! Still have to finish a book today before I leave at oh my god early tomorrow morning.
And do the laundry before I go.
And get the kids' schedule for dh.

If only I could get a good night's sleep I would be oh so much more productive.

Pathetic

You would think that eventually I'd get to updating more often. I'm stinkin' lucky my ring friends haven't booted me into oblivion. I've been pretty productive given the circumstances...really! My unofficial count for the January KAL is 4.5 prs. of Fetching. http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/PATTfetching.html I'm working on a pair for my dd & a friend requested one so the KAL will merge with the Feb. KAL theme of knitting for loved ones. I might even get a picture posted before the world ends.


I still miss Europe...
