some cuteness

Here is a "store sample" done in fabrics from the Amy Butler "Lotus" collection. One day a local woman came into the shop and offered to build kids' clothes for me. She happens to be the mom of a little girl who, at this time next year, will be wearing the finest duds... ever. I haven't even shown you the tea-length dress out of the "Freshcut" fabrics from Heather Bailey. I'll save that for another day, but in keeping with the day's decidedly more upbeat theme...

I give you more cuteness. This is Rob, of the comments. She is winding the yarn she bought at Stitches &Scones up in Westfield, on Harlot-stalking day. I didn't score any of the Shi Bui 'pebble' yarn. Mandi kept distracting me with buffalo down (oh, the silkie, silkie goodness) and I didn't get to the sock yarn display in time. Both Rob and RedRhonda scored the colorway, so one of them had better get it knit up, quick-like, so I can have me some quality fondling time. By the way, Rob only has the one chin, and she's prolly gonna strangle me for putting this pic up, but I think she's super-cute anyway...

Well, it's off to the shop for me and Eli. I'm going to see how it goes, just having an almost three-year-old with me today. You know, to break up the monotony of just sitting and knitting all day. Latah, knittas. C
