I haven't blogged in what seems like forever, but luckily Kristi has been holding up the fort. I'm really excited about the Sarcelle pattern. The shawl is so pretty!
Ok, here's what I meant to blog about but haven't:
1. I finally got off my ass and sent out a Dye-o-Rama package. I was an Angel, so I didn't get an assignment until after most people had already sent their packages. I really hope my buddy likes it, and I wish I could have sent it in time for her to take on her recent trip. The color theme is because she likes reds/pinks/purples.
Because her buddy flaked, I also sent her some extra goodies.
2. I also meant to post a picture of Kirsten's Baudelaires a while back. As far as I know, she was the first to finish a pair, and they look awesome in these shoes!!! Kirsten is also co-hosting the Baudelaire KAL which has lots of Baudelaires finished and in progress.
3. I've done a lot of knitting and ripping recently, so I really don't have much to show. Sigh. For example, I started a Forecast and then ripped it out in the interest of destashing the yarn. I'm not even sure why I started when (a) I wasn't so sure about the color choice, (b) I didn't have enough yarn, (c) I OBVIOUSLY didn't have enough yarn. I think there was a vague hope of possibly doing a short sleeve version. Probably a bad idea.
Also, I must apologize if you've emailed or commented and I haven't responded. I sort of fell of the knitblogworldplanet and haven't read any blogs in WEEKS! (Okay, except BloggingProjectRunway which I'm still hopelessly addicted to.)
Hmmm I wonder who you could be talking about ... now if only the neighbor who was collecting my mail was not away! I am just itching to get my hands on that package!
Posted by: Devorah at August 8, 2006 3:36 PMOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!! You are the best angel!!! I love it! Now to figure out what pattern to knit with it. I promise to post to my blog as soon as I can!
Thank you!!!
Posted by: Devorah at August 8, 2006 3:49 PMYou are a wonderful angel. I'm sure the recipient will be happy her original buddy flaked!
Why do those socks look better on you blog than mine!?! :)
Posted by: Kirsten at August 8, 2006 7:08 PMThe yarn is beautiful, and the socks are gorgeous. I can't wait to get some needles in em.
Cool shoes, too.
Posted by: kristen at August 8, 2006 10:44 PMWow! Those shoes are fantastic. Project Runway is one addiction that just can't be kicked.
Posted by: Gina at August 9, 2006 7:55 AMI'm a new reader, and I was looking at the (gorgeous) Sarcelle photoshoot and -- well, not to be creepy or anything, but do you two happen to go to Stanford? In any case, I love your designs and I'm looking forward to reading more.
Posted by: Christina at August 9, 2006 9:46 AMWell, the cashmere is here, all the way from the UK before the pattern was put up for sale. I am so excited to start it, when will it be ready?
Posted by: yarnsnob at August 9, 2006 4:37 PMLove the Baudelaire socks...I have the pattern on my "to do" list. I just might have to join the KAL!
Posted by: AJ at August 9, 2006 8:15 PMHey Cookie,
Loving the pink and purple yarns! What a lucky recipiant! Also, if ever I get around to making Forecast, that is the exact color I wanted to use.
Anyway, this is completely off topic, but how do you think this cable would look for the Delphine sweater?

It's similar, but still pretty different... I like it and was wondering your opinion!
Posted by: Crystal at August 10, 2006 2:38 PMI just saw my first pomatomus socks on http://plumtuckered.blogspot.com/ . She gave a link and after following another link, here I am. Those socks are incredible. What a fantastic pattern, I'm so impressed. I will definitely try a pair soon.
Posted by: Leigh at August 12, 2006 4:14 PMI finished my baudelaires recently too. Great pattern - thanks!

I'm working on the Pomatomus socks right now and I love the pattern. Thanks for helping me find my way back to sock knitting!
