Insubordiknit

Fairy dust and tiny sweaters

After the near death debacle of the other night (who knew knitting could be so treacherous?), I settled in last night for a nice easy knit. Something sweet and scrumptious, and far too tiny to strangle me with it's knitted tenticals. Not that this is gonna do much to dispel the myth that I'm in the family way. I'm not, I promise. I'd tell ya if I was. I will tell you when I am, how's that? deal? Okay.

I have dear friends that are babylicous and this is for the little one when it comes rockin' into this bright world. On a real baby I hope the sleeves are more short to 3/4 instead of the puffy monstrosity they are on Garnet. I know it'll only fit for a month or two, but won't it just be the cutest 8 weeks ever? And yes, that is a short row collar, my first off-the-cuff employment of shortrows, and it worked just like I planned. Yay for shortrows.

Below is our Spring family painting. We do one at the change of every season and hang it on the front of the house to welcome the . In spring it's the Spring Fairy. In fall it's the Good Gourd, yeah, are ya done laughing yet? Good, listen up, this is a good one. Last fall the Good Gourd brought LB a trampoline, he supposes the gourd must've rolled it here, seeing as he's a gourd and has no hands. So now, when people ask him where he got his trampoline, which happens often, apparantly it's a big giftitem, he relpies The good gourd gave it to me and they, without fail, reply back to him, with a smile The Good Lord, how nice.... Heh.

My favorite part of the painting is the little blue fairy that Little Bit painted. I thought it might be a mosquito but he assures me that it's a fairy, and the fence he painted next to it is how the fairy get to spring. It flys over the fence. to spring. He's awesome. He named the pic, in a big booming voice, Fairy sprinkles dust and spring begins on Earth.
