WIP Wed and some FO's

Yay! I've made it to another WIP Wed. and I've actually got some things on the needles (and yes, the Feb. Lady Sweater is still looking just like it did last week, so I won't even bore you with it, the poor thing is in hibernation- and I'm starting to wonder what to do with it, what's your vote? Finish it? Frog it? The button hole bothers me, should I rip the whole thing out and start again? Or should I unravel it to the button holes and start over from there? Or should I frog the whole thing and use the yarn to make Kate Gilbert's Cardigan for Arwen? I'm also oooggling the new Spud and Chloe patterns.....What do you think dear readers? I need some ideas or encouragement, this yarn is too yummy to just let it sit there unfinished)


And now, for the projects:

The Shaba Green Shorties are finished and I'm still enjoying using Peace Fleece! I'm looking for another co-op, so if you hear of one, let me know!
And, of course, these pants needed a special touch, a certain Mouse and a Cookie decided to visit:
(I came up with the pattern for the mouse and the cookie all by myself! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and I'm thinking about adding a cookie to the front)

(and funny story: this past week-end, we were taking pictures, as part of my on-going work in progress to open at Etsy store!- and when we were done, Mike happened to catch Baby Peter playing with his sister in her room- she was using her play camera, and put a Pirate Puppet on his "butt", then she told him, 'Hold Still Peter, I have to take a picture of your butt!" )

Next, my Ribbons Hat for the Itty Bitty Hat Swap! (And a certain Princess is highly upset that someone else is getting "purple yarn" so a purple skirt will be CO very soon) This one is almost all done, except for the ribbons of course! I have to go digging in the closet to find just the right ones, they are in the sewing basket on a shelf somewhere that I can't see......






And also in progress, these longies, my first time using 100purewool, which yes, is as soft as Malabrigo (and cheaper when you buy in a co-op!) BUT it's making me turn into a smurf! My hands turn blue every single time I knit with this for some reason, so there's no sneaking in a row on these things! They are super soft, and the color really is nice- these are a pair of longies for Peter, and I did something a little "different" on the butt- any guesses as to what the picture is? I had hoped to get these done last night, but Peter was fussy, and decided he wanted all mommy's attention, so every time I tried to knit, he'd pull at the yarn, or tug at the needles, so I just decided to snuggle him to sleep, there will always be time to knit, they are only babies for so long (not long enough if you ask me!)


I won't bore you with another picture of the Clapotis, which I've only added another 3 rows to, it's not very nursing-friendly knitting, so it's not getting alot of love at the moment.
And of course my Major Work in Progress- Micah's Potty Learning! LOL! He is refusing to wear a diaper, but isn't quite "there" yet to make it to the potty- yes lots of fun! Always an adventure and never a dull moment.......
Stay tuned for my quest to find yellow yarn- if anybody has some they don't want, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands- wool is preferred of course! I've got some plans that need yellow yarn (hints: one has to do with a puppy that is quite pokey and misses out on strawberry shortcake and the other has to do with fish- one or two, I'm not saying, and maybe red or blue, who can tell?)......
