Where it's at.
Knitting baby clothes is where it's at, people. I love these tiny pieces! They knit up so fast! I feel so accomplished! Nothing beats this feeling. However, there is no escaping the sad truth that every project I choose to knit at any one time uses the same sized needles. This time it happens to be US 5. I never use that size! But when I went to cast on for another log cabin square last night, I reached for the needles and they were nowhere to be found. Then I happened to glance in the baby sweater supply bag and noticed that the needles I had bought for this yarn (two sizes bigger than the ones I used to knit these three pieces) were still intact. Which means that I accidentally used needles two sizes too small.
The best part? My gauge is SPOT ON. When does that ever happen? Not often, if you're me. And coincidentally? The gods must be smiling on me.
So for now, my tiny baby sleeves are on holders while I get some more log cabin-ing out of my system. Between the humidity (unthinkable) and my mental to-do list (growing exponentially) I need the loverly garter-stitch knitting.

I think that if I could knit only one pattern for the rest of my life, it would be Trellis. So pretty, and so fast. Yours looks wonderful.

The sweater looks great! And that happens to me with needles all the time.

You knit that up sooo much faster than I did.
I'm thinking of log cabining soon for a new baby. First, a few sweaters for the boy.

Wow, that's really amazing - so tiny and so intricate! Log cabin-ing looks like fun too.

Oh my gosh, I have been waiting for my friends to start having babies so I can knit Trellis! Yours is gorgeous - love the color. And you are really zipping along on it!

OH my gosh! I don't want to seem strange or anything,but, I was browsing through google looking up bangs for my hair. When I saw your picture but I thought it was me because we could pass as twins. I know sounds super werid huh? I was freaking out!!
Especially the picture of you wearing a bright red scarf on your head. The other thing that shocked me too is that I make scarfs by crocheting(not as beatuiful as yours) but I am starting my own little business with it. I hope that you don't get as scared as I was but, maybe we could keep in touch. Because when do you find someone who looks like your twin, that is if you aren't born with one.
Well sorry to freak you out. But I just had to let you know.
Hope you have a great day and KIT!
