knit this...

so i've taken a break from knitting. after knitting not even half the amount of slippers that marm was working on, i was burnt out. my little fingers felt like they were going to die. so i took a break - am still taking? bygones.
the worst part about my little knitting vaca was that for my bday marm sent me a knitting kit! and i was super excited and considered getting off the bench- until i tried to wind the yarn into a ball myself. holy hell did that not work. like last time when i watched horton hears a who and wound balls, i grabbed a glass of wine, popped in good hair, threw my sabres pillows into a big pile on my bed, and set about winding balls. again, holy hell did that not work. i think i managed to unwind like 4 feet and then was left with a jumbled mess. and like a good little knitter, i gave up. thank god marmie is coming to the rescue! the skanes are sitting in a little box on my bed waiting to be shipped back to colden to be balled up by someone else. *sigh*

now on to my next project.....

aside from making a new pillow cover for my big pillow, im working on something else. big brother steve-o is finally expecting a little girl...my first niece!

needless to say, im super stoked. not that i dont adore the three devils they already own, but come on. unless they can sit and drink a martini with me, the thing better be wearing a tutu or im just not that entertained. which segues into my next project: baby tutu #1. now this may seem odd, as lil milla and i used to entertain ourselves by climbing trees and making mud pies, but there was that one time were given a pink barbie briefcase and boy oh boy did we use that. so we had out girlie moments. and someone enrolled us in dance class even though only one of us had any rhythm. again, bygones.

so let me introduce.... the baby tutu!!



now my baby tutu will probably not actually look like that- but i think its a good representation of what it could look like... if i actually liked babies.
So my plan is to buy a couple onsies- an adult size for moi as well- and then some tulle. my only problem is im not sure what color to make them. i was thinking pink, but that's so cliche, even for a baby. so then i was thinking light green with pink ribbon? but then i bought baby blue, orange and brown ribbons. so there goes that idea. so ladies- what are your thoughts on colors??
