Alexa sent me an email asking if I'd think about knitting her a poncho. She's looking for something to wear this winter over Maria and her sling (4-month old), with a keyhole neck for easy access to the little moose (the kid has godfather-esque cheeks :)
I think I need to send her a picture of the hunchback poncho I did for Meara, give her a chance to reconsider...
Actually the dealbreaker may be the fact that I live in a smoker's house; she's allergic and asthmatic and can't have any of that, but I promised to keep the project out of the house somehow and to dry clean it before I send it to her, if it gets that far...she wants to pay me a commission for it, but I'd do it for an early birthday present (she's December 16). She's my oldest friend and someone I really admire.
So I sent her some links to Lion Brand illustrating what I think she's looking for, and we'll see. Might be a good thing if I had like, just one project to focus on, because I have so many things I'm trying to get on the needles right now, it's a wonder anything's getting done.
- Burgundy shawl being blatantly ignored
- Purple poncho getting about 2 rows worked a week
- Pink baby hat for absolutely no reason other than I just got a pair of #5 circulars from a friend
- mr. sock, poor neglected soul that he is
- Mixed brown rice knit shawl
- Wanting to start:
—Cozy shawl from Knitty in Dark Rose
—Aibhleen cowl from Knitty in Blue Mist
I think I'm missing something there...And still haven't found a pattern I'm happy with to knit something for the adorable hubby...
I don't consider myself that ADD, when the meds are cooperating, but boy, my projects sure illustrate something different! At least I keep the number I bring to KB at about 3.
