I have uploaded pics of the socks I knit (and added them to ravelry), still need to shoot pics of the toddler cargo shorts… the yarn is dsicontinued (vintage?) old stash, but I have quite a bit, maybe it was bought to become a cardigan or something big?
New to ravelry…
I have been reading about ravelry on various knitting blogs, and it was mentioned in podcasts, and I finally got an invite and started playing with it a bit. We just moved to a new house a few weeks ago, so my stash is in boxes, some in storage at my mom’s, some in hubby’s studio, but I have kept a few projects with me, my set of interchangeable circulars, and some yarns I’d like to play with. Over the past few months of packing, movig, putting things into storage, and trying to hustle up as much freelance work as I could, I finished a couple pairs of socks, some scarves, and pair of cargo pocket toddler shorts (sewing the pockets on now). Making some headway towards my holiday gifting, also have a hat mostly done for my hubby (decreasing for crown). The socks, shorts and hat are all black or charcoal, and I expect I might have problems photographing them.
Anyway, hope I will be better about documenting my projects, I added linkage to this blog rss feed, my del.icio.us bookmarks, and my flickr account. Seems pretty handy so far….
[added 2/22/2010: Love, love, love ravelry! I have lots of bookmarked patterns in my queue and it’s been a great resource!]
New Tote Bags, plus more items!

ParentHacks…
There was a great post on PH I read today re making easter egg shaped sidewalk chalk using plastic eggs, and they mentioned they had a widget for their blog now. Just playin' with it…
ParentHacks is just one of the parenting blog I keep up with via Bloglines, though the majority are design (love design*sponge) and crafty blogs. And the occasional gossipy fashion site.
Wish vox was compatible with performancing firefox plugin.
I am a sxsw widow this week, but the toddler went down easy and fairly early tonight, huzzah!
Glow in the dark diecut stars…
I have added a new category of products, d.i.y. & kits, and a new product: a set of 10 glow-in-the-dark stars that can be used as appliques/embellishment on your own items (clothing, a tote bag, etc) either by hand-sewing or machine stitching. Probably could do more than one item! There are a mix of 4 sizes, I cut them myself on my die press….
