This post is so gay.
Not that I ever post anything substantive, but you know what I mean...
Anyway, here are a couple of my latest projects. N.O. asked me to make him some golf club covers, and he wanted them to be pretty obnoxious, so here they are.
They would also make good maraca covers.
Irritating, aren't they? (The stripes signify the number of the club.) I just might have to knit him a matching tam-o-shanter--then his obnoxious golfing gear would be complete! Incidentally, he was unable to explain to my satisfaction why some clubs need covers and some don't. But then, maybe he did explain and I just wasn't listening.
This is the baby blanket I just made for my niece Lillie. I wish I could convey to you how soft it is. (It's made from wool-blend yarns that are just unbelievable. Maybe it's best you don't mention to N.O. how expensive these yarns are, 'kay?) Downside: What kind of idiot makes a hand-wash-only blanket for a BABY? This kind of idiot. Yeah.
Anyway, I changed up some stuff in the pattern to make it rufflier. The result is it's very girly, though it also looks a little like a lasagna noodle. The peaches-and-cream colors will be gorgeous next to Lillian's skin, though. She's SO CUTE.
How cute is she, you ask? Exactly this cute:
And when she falls asleep with her (no, seriously) favorite toy, an old phone cord, she's this cute:
Know who else is cute? My nephew Zachary.

First, let me say that you're knitting is amazing! How do you it?! I'm impressed with your mad skills!
Your neice and nephew could be the cutest kids ever in the history of the world. She loves a phone cord!! I can't even contain my gushing, it's just too cute!! And Zachery! With the cowboy hat! How has he not gotten kidnapped?! I know that I would kidnap him! And keep him for my very own!
Wow! They ARE cute! Who knew? Oh, that's right; I did. Incidentally, how big is that blanket because it looks really small, but very pretty. Hey, could you make me some maraca covers? You'd be surprised how...cold?...my maracas get. Should I have gone with "dusty?" I don't actually know why things need covers.
Why, thank you Q3! I'm blushing! Actually, my knitting is extremely elementary. But thanks for the compliments! And I happen to agree with you--those are some super cute kids, huh?? (The bragging isn't quite as obnoxious if you're an aunt instead of a parent, right? That's what I'm telling myself.) :-D
E-Dub, the blanket is smallish. Around 2 1/2 feet. But that's 'cause - you know - she's a baby.
Her phavorite toy is a phone cord? Wow! That's sort of like how you spend lots of money on cat toys when, in the end, they're perfectly happy with a piece of string.
Maybe she's part cat.
And e-dub, as long as you're referring to them as "my maracas" there's no way you can win.
Yeah, I was afraid "my maracas" sounded kind of dirty or at least really dorky. I do have maracas, though. Viva Mexico! Or not.
Yes, A-dub, I know she's a baby, thankyouverymuch, but in case you haven't noticed, she's a giant baby.
That's a whole lot of cute! I'm very impressed with your knitting. Especially the lasagna baby blanky. I want one!!!
