ROFL @ duckin f***

Well, I haven't sewn up the pink soaker I did for DD yet, because I am still debating to embellish or not to embellish. And meanwhile back at the ranch have started something else lol. Have a wee bit of tiger cub left over, enough for a beanie for DS I am thinking, if I add some black to the mix. So it's off to the woollen mills for me this afternoon.
(Mac is currently walking around the house looking for wallet and stuff - he is unaware of my plans to go to the mills as yet, and will roll his eyes when he finds out but as I'll be driving, I'm not seeing how he has any choice in the matter at all. lol!)

Will take some eyecandy pics this afternoon when I get home from down the street, and you can all tell me wether or not you think the pink soaker needs embellishing and if you think it does, what to reccomend. My brain is totally on the blink you see.

(excuse constant and blatant ramble, I have a feeling my blood sugar levels have just gone through the roof and as a result I resemble a squirrel on speed.. best go do something about that! lol)

I have decided to try the knitty blu jeans. I have some sean sheep in a Denim colour so thought that might work. The pattern is a little scary especially re: sewing up but I think I know someone that is familiar with that pattern if I get stuck grin.gif

I am just doing a gauge square as the yarn says knit on 7mm needles but that seems way too large. I am going to use 4mm and see what size it comes to.

I am soooooo impatient. I hate knitting gauge squares blush.gif

Yum, fish!
