Happy Independance Day!

I've got a few filler projects going on right now - I CO last weekend for a pair of "plain ole" socks in a beautiful Koigu variegated color ( by the way, "variegated" was on the GRE vocabulary list - I felt so smart already knowing that one! That's proof that knitting makes you smarter)

Looking at the yarn I have an impossible time describing it - my first attempt was cotton candy on acid, but that sounds so unattractive and surprisingly I think its quite lovely after its knitted up, but judge for yourself:


Bonus - this was in my stash from a big sale a month or so ago & there's more sock yarn where that came from!

Second, I am about to CO for a "Honeymoon Tank" from knitty.com in Rowan Calmer (black). Looking forward to this simple tank for a summer wardrobe staple! I'm salvaging the Calmer from a project I frogged a while back. STASH knitting again!

Third, I have digressed on a sewing project - pajama pants! The pattern I bought has some cute tops/dresses I may attempt if all goes well! Check out the results from the teeny tiny sewing machine that I got a few weeks ago - my "starter" model. New hobby/obsession? We'll see...

Cotton candy yarn looks yummy knitted up. Love your new jammies! I know how addicting sewing can be; welcome to your new addiction.

I love polka dots and PJs! I wish I had more time, money, and room for another hobby. Maybe when there's more physical room, I'll take the plunge. Great to see you yesterday. The socks look so yummy!
