at last

the booties are done. knitted, seamed, and buttons on. Pretty cute hey?


Someone from the knitting nature knit-along sent me a message today asking about my cropped cardigan. So I went back to look through the knit-along to find my post and man... there are some beautiful FO's on there. I forgot how much I wanted to knit some of the patterns in that book. I did knit the droplet hat, and there are a few hexagons worth of turtle skirt floating around somewhere. I think I'm re-adding the bubble sweater to my "to-knit" list though. As though my to-knit list weren't long enough already. Someday I'll be done with the wedding wraps and will be able to knit freely again...

i did convo the flower maker on etsy, because i saw in her profile that she does large orders for weddings at a discount. still probably going to end up going with the silk flowers, but i thought i may as well find out how much it would be. i'll just file it away in my mental "ideas folder"

beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice

I have good intentions, I really do. But I actually think that I am at my most scatterbrained ever right now. We're in the midst of the quarter's first round of midterms, which as usual I am wholly unprepared for, though I did surprisingly well on last week's pharmacogenomics test. I don't expect a repeat performance on either of this week's. Plus I have a presentation on Wednesday, a case to write up before tonight AND to top it all off, I have like a week to pick out preceptors for all my fourth year rotations. Not to mention the small task of planning a wedding, which is always there to distract me, whether I want to think about it or not...

The second bootie is soooooo close to being done. I knit an extra row on the strap though so i had to tear it out and redo it, so its not seamed up yet. So without further ado, here is one tiny, adorable baby bootie. I call they the beetlejuice booties because the green/purple/brown thing makes me think of beetlejuice. Mr. Z finds it amusing that I never saw the movie because it scares me... he says its a comedy. I don't want to find out. The buttons also scream beetlejuice to me. why?? well look...

too cute for words!

I swear the other one will get finished... honest. This is why I must never knit socks. It seriously only took like ten minutes to knit one and maybe ten more to seam it up. And I can't spare twenty minutes to finish the other. tsk tsk.
