Day 55-365: Pillow Talk
If you've got kids, then you've heard of Pillow Pets. They are adorable but the pressure during Christmas was a little much. BECAUSE. You know. You have to get the right ONE.
FYI: I was testing a new comments feature for the past couple of months and have come to the conclusion that I don't like it. It was also confirmed with a dear friend who didn't like it either. Thank you for bring this to my attention A:-)

Day 38-365: Celtic Mittens
Latest take-along project are a pair of Celtic Mittens. I've changed the pattern just a bit to have a thumb gusset which fits better on the hand. The numbers work out, so I'm giving it the Thumbs UP!
Bonus Photo
The Year of Stash Socks is doing mittens for the month of February and you know I can't resist cables!! With 696 members and growing its got some serious activity going in this Knit-along. Come on over and check them out and the pattern Celtic Moonrise Mittens.
FO: Lo-Lo's Sweet Baby Cap
Pattern: Sweet Baby Cap by Gro
Yarn: .5 skein Socks that Rock in Heavy Weight
Needles: US 5 Double Pointed needles
Started: December 29, 2010
Finished: January 15, 2011
I gave you a quick sneak-peak in my Project 365 shot yesterday on a new finished object. The family came over for Super Bowl and I was happy to see the hat fit little Lo-Lo perfectly.
Soon after these pictures where shot he began to pull and tug the hat off. I forget how quick babies can be and how much they don't understand the need for a great hat photo!!
He is so freakin' adorable it just melts you. The one thing he has inherited is his mother's dimples. I think my camera would have melted too if I actually caught any glimpse of that smile;)

Day 35-365: Under 55
One of the coolest things that I've discovered while working in Chicago is that there are places most people don't know about because it's not on street level. Under 55 Cafe is just that. It's a cafe under the building at 55 E. Monroe. This is a great place for variety, price and plus I love to brainstorm my knitting ideas here;)
