That's my Cutie!
I finished Baby's top and got around to writing up the pattern...

Uh-Oh
Baby is 14 months now and likes to say "uh-oh" a lot, among other things. I tried this top on her and she said "uh-oh." What an astute baby! How else would she have known that Mommy made some boo-boo's? For one, I forgot a raglan increase on one side in the back. For another, I somehow messed up on following the chart for the apple (which I will fix), plus I didn't center it properly (which I won't fix). This is what happens when you have a lot of starts and stops because you're trying to manage too many things, including Baby. Oh well, I have become much less obsessive about my knitting errors and love this top just the same.
I had been very inspired by Svea in a Craftster post. I kept thinking I'd do a top that said "iBaby" but never got around to it. Since Baby is walking, I decided I'd put "iCutie" instead. Hubby had also suggested "iPotty!" Now 7-year-old Sweetie wants one that says "iGirlie." The possibilities are endless.
The top itself is something I winged and will eventually try to write up.

Going Green
I know Earth Day already passed, but really, everyday should be Earth Day, right? So in honor of Earth, I'll talk about the ways I'm going green!
1. I'm trying to knit from my stash. Witness my next Christmas present project (pictured above): a Scarf Askew from 2 skeins of Rowanspun DK sitting in my stash. I'm also trying to use some Cotton-Ease that I had hoarded when it had been discontinued. I'm making something sweet (pictured below) for Baby!
2. I mostly knit with Denise needles so that I don't have to keep buying tons of needles.
3. I try not to buy too many gadgets--so the needle I use for weaving in ends comes from one of Sweetie's craft kits, the stitch markers are scraps of yarn, and the little yarn bobbins are those plastic clip things from bread bags
4. We are gradually converting to compact flourescent bulbs, including some in the bedroom where I knit
5. I posted some things on the Destash blog to try to do some more stash control.
Before you think I'm eco-pious, though, I assure you that my current stash shows that I'm still too huge of a consumer! But that's a story for another day.
