I took the last couple weeks and did some fun me knitting. I actually got a surprising amount done, but I haven't gotten pictures done yet. So, thanks to the internet, I am going to "borrow" pictures from others for now just so you can see what projects I was working on.
I called this my "labor project." Yes, I decided I needed a project to work on while in labor. And amazingly enough, with the approximately 70 hours it took to get this baby here, I nearly completed my project while in labor and finished what was left up on Mother's day.

It's the Summer Flies shawl from Holly and Ella Knits. I did mine in Patons Silk and Bamboo, which for a Joann's type yarn is awfully nice. Mine is a beautiful silvery gray color, and once it is blocked I will get a photo of it. I just need to figure out the new blocking set up at this house, since I had it nicely worked out at the old house, but we don't have the same sink here. I think I am going to get one of those Soak tubs.
I also made one of these:

The Ping cowl. I did mine out of Weekend (I wanted to play with the yarn) in Blood Orange. Fun project, cool fabric, I think it will be highly wearable especially this summer.
And, I also finished this up, I just need to add buttons:

The Mary-Swanson Cardi-Vest from Tot Toppers. I did mine in Berroco Remix, another yarn I wanted to play around with. I like it, it is surprisingly soft.
So there you go. Not my pictures, but it gives you at least a little idea of what I have been up to! Other than figuring out this whole mom thing that is.....
