Kiss My Knits!

I think we’re in the last few days for the cat pictured in the icon. I apologize for the length and rambling quality of the post under the cut.

The kindergarten teacher’s bag, she looks pretty much done to me. She wanted big, pink, with novelty yarn, so there you have it. Pre-felting, of course.

CD for scale.

It’s kind of a “now or never” moment, before it gets felted. If there are changes to be made, such as ripping out the piping or changing the handles (examples only!), now’s the time.

Any comments/suggestions? Y’all know I take criticism and suggestions well.

I got my final package from the swap today. It turns out my swapper was the organizer, ! I should have known, she puts so much care into the things she does, and her packages were awesome.

Lookit!
A copy of Simply Knitting, a Brit knit mag. It came with 15 free care labels!

Two Cadbury eggs, one of which my daughter has already peeled and poked at.

A round tin of green tea. I hadn’t mentioned this in my Livejournal (I don’t think I did, at least) but I haven’t drunk any coffee at all this week. It’s been all green tea. So, as I kick caffeine, this is a perfect addiction. I mean addition. Yeah.

One pompom maker set. Believe it or not, I didn’t have one of these.

Not pictured: A Godiva Chocolatier bar: Milk Chocolate with Smooth Caramel. No way is my daughter getting her mitts on that.


Wooden bowl (because every Firefly fan needs a wooden bowl) has its own closeup because of the cool stuff within.
A geisha bead, too cute!

A little pin reading “Knit In Public,” which I do daily.

And no, the silver thing is not some kind of piercing, it’s a scarf pin with a little ball of yarn on it. Squeeee!

Last but not least, a “Hello, My Name Is John” nametag from Yoyodyne Propulsion. This made me laugh out loud. It’s on my fridge, which is now evil! Pure and simple from the eighth dimension!


Mel, you did a fantastic job. I’m really happy with everything I got. It’s been a genuine pleasure. Thanks so much. 🙂

Fiber Godmother, you are the AWESOMEST. I’m late to pick up my daughter, but a post will follow later! Thank you so much!

(heh. Yoyodyne.)
