getting these off the needles (since they’ve been on almost 6 month). I’m not thrilled with the yarn, but it’s a trial pair. I prefer to knit the first run with yarn I’m not so in love with…that way don’t have to worry if I’m not in love with them once they’re done.

I’m trying to get the last bits of the baby things made so I can get them to Michelle before Lil John is born in May.
Our little family currently consists of Darryl, me, along with our pups Lucas & Lily. We've been together for 14 years now, and we love every minute of it. I enjoy all types of crafty things such as knitting, crocheting, photography, sewing, and making cards. Darryl enjoys gaming (both PC and PS3), playing guitar, cooking, and just veggin out. Lucas and Lily just love to sleep, eat, and pets.
