MS3 clue three and a WIP

Wow. Seriously? The mistakes are not nearly as noticeable in person as they are on camera. I wanted pics to show off the pattern, because the flash really highlights it, but jeez every mistake is in sharp relief! Oh , well. I like it, I enjoy it, I will wear it and that's all that matters. ;-)
This pattern is so much fun!





Poorly pinned and all, but what's new. I can't wait to wear this!



















Any guesses as to the theme yet?













OK. And this WIP is a pair of LTK Picky Pants, size medium with Three Irish Girls (formerly Irish baby Knits) Reilly colorway. ( on their new pic, Rielly has a lot more yellow in it! I like this one better.) on Perigrine Merino. I just need to knit the gusset, legs and the navy there is some Wool Ease that I got at a steal that will be a vest to match, and a drawstring.

Yay!

FO's

Here is the Swallowtail, all blocked. Though I think I need to block it harder, it's getting a little bouncy after the month of laying on my Mama's rocker.











My lovely assistant. Addison, who had no clue I took the second one. She wasn't "ready"



















My socks, finished, oh, back in Febuary or March? I wore them happily with clogs and gypsy skirts all through the last bit of my pregnancy with Bodhi and will wear them again, even if they are uneven. They are the first socks I knit for ME!














Surprisingly cozy for such an affordable yarn...

Clue 2 finished, ready for # 3!

Ok, first some cute baby pics...

A rare laughing picture. He does NOT smile on cue.
Lacey goodness
And more..not the great pinning but better than nothin
Riley and I played with the Roger's Connection today. We also made a pyramid out of tetrahedrons. Learned all about the 5 Platonic Solid shapes and built some of them.. I like homeschooling. ;-)

Another OT.

I am neglecting my other blog so this one is going to encompass kids, family, knitting etc. So there.

My lovely daughter and her new haircut. Pardon the sleepyhead tussled look. lol. She got this cut on Tuesday with my mama and our dear friend Martha. So proud of her new look, aww.. And then she went to visitation and came back all sad because her father and his girlfriend poo-pooed it. Again.

She even asked me before she went "what if they tell me I look like a boy again?" She had cut her hair about a year and a half ago into the cutest little bob, and they told her she looked like a boy. She was not quite 5. Seriously. The teen years should be a load of fun.
So this is an Ode to Addison in all her glory. Soon I will have pics of her in Colorado at my cousins wedding. She leaves this morning with my parents for the weekend. Just me and a bunch of boys this weekend! I hope to do lots of fun stuff with Jason, Riley and Bodhi.

Mystery Stole 3

Pics of Clue 1Nice border, looks like a vine to me, but that wouldn't explain the "black or white theme"

Ahhhh mistakes.....

OT but...

I miss my kids. Boo hoo. They do come home saturday, so that's exciting, but I have been spending my morning off for the 4th either knitting lace for the Mystery Stole 3 (It's a yahoo group, I am not bothering with linkies, sorry), playing with Bodhi and listening to him coo, and surfing MDC mamas blogs. With pics of their kids. And being on the verge of tears.

It doesn't help that I just started my moon time after only three months and I am feeling blue and hormonal. I was gypped.

So to cheer me up... pics of my kids. But even grabbing these pics off my pc made me sad, because they are like 6 weeks old. For those not in the know.... The kids spend 4 weeks in the summer with the ex (2 away, 1 home, 2 away again) We are nearing the end of the 2nd 2 week period and I am just missing them like crazy.




Sorry about the flipped pic, I don't feel like switching it. Bodhi is crying now, gotta be done!

My first Lace Blocking...

Before blocking....










































blocking.....
















And soon to come? A pic of my lovely Mama modeling her shawl! It turned out wonderfully, you can't even see most of my mistakes! LOL
