Moo cards! The cards are so cute and little, and the order of 10 was free with the flickr account upgrade. The back of the cards have my blog, ravelry and flickr info. I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with them, but I'm sure I can think of something! Plus, an order of 100 is only $19.99--you can't really beat that, so I'm sure I'll be ordering more soon.I did finish my Evangeline mitts, using the Misti Alpaca yarn. I should have photos soon. I just need a second pair of hands. In the meantime, I'm about to start a new project with some new yarn.
My husband's best friend is about to have a baby (well his wife is), so I'm going to knit a little sweater. I really wasn't sure what yarn to use, and I had a hard time finding anything cute but non-pastel, so this is what I came up with. A striped sweater in Araucania Nature Cotton.
It's going to be a boy, and they live in Florida... hence the cotton. I'm planning to knit the 9-12 month size, so hopefully he can get a little more use out of it. My one concern is that the yarn is hand wash only--it seems a little high maintenance for a baby, but all the superwash yarn I saw was pretty blah. (Speaking of which, I saw the cutest baby bell bottoms today, knit in Koigu.)
I had originally planned a blanket, but I'm not sure when that would ever get finished considering the long line of previously mentioned UFOs. After this it's back to working on those--I swear!

Fun! I need to upgrade, too. I was planning on it but wanted to make sure I had 10 good shots for my free MOOS. :)
hi there, I just wanted to let you know I visited your blog. Loved looking at all the beautiful knits you've made. I did monkey socks too and loved the pattern. I want to do another pair but maybe try it with all knit stitches like I've read about!
i LOVE the moo cards.
how fun.
the colors for the baby sweater are fantastic.
a perfect yarn for a floriday baby.
