Oh Rowan, you whore, you whore for taunting Matilda so. Matilda, bring the parts with to Kansas, and I will sew the fucker for you in trade for alcohol, the next time you're in town. Seriously.
Tell me you didn't size Gabby up like Skully. TELL ME. Says the woman who also sized up in Rowan, and is now contemplating how to magically shrink a Jude a size, short of ripping the seams, steeking, and resewing. At least I got my second Jude and the Beth right.
My knitting life atm:
One log cabin baby blanket. For the office manager at the, uh, office. When I handed over the last stinking albatross, aka Big Bad Baby Blanket number 5? 6? I have buried that knowledge deep so as to avert the need for therapy, I announced I was not knitting another baby blankie for months. That night I got heavily guilt tripped at dinner about how baby blankets are much more classic and enduring than a bunch of hats and sweaters, and and and.
Nnnnngh.
I am doing this in the 50% alpaca 50% wool 'Shenandoah' from Valley yarns, aka WEBS. I am wondering why I picked a pattern than involves picking up a bajillion fucking stitches.
I am wondering if I can say, next time, I have taken a blood vow to never knit another baby blanket again, except for a select limited group of people (all of whom are unlikely to spawn). As I type this I have just remembered other friends of ours are pregnant. FUCKING FUCKER FUCK FUCK FUCK.
Why yes, I am raising a sweet child and talk like that.
Garter cuff gloves from Weekend Knitting, in blue sky's 100% alpaca, various cream and beige shades. Yes yes, this is one step away from socks. Shut up.
Color block sweater from miss Bea's Playground, the back's done, now for front and sleeves. Will be resumed once blanket is done.
Matilda, if I start spinning and dying, how much would you mock me if I gave you handspun, hand dyed yarn? (why yes, what is your price?)

I am knitting Gabby in the largest size, but I didn't size up from there. At least she is MEANT to be baggy.
Do you suppose it would be rampantly unethical to sterilize everyone we know? Because there is another baby blanket in my future, as well.
You know you want to knit socks, wench. Two ends to weave in per sock, and no seaming. And sock yarn. Think about it: sock yarn. Handpainted merino sock yarn. One or two skeins per pair of socks. Why, you can have a huge sock stash without taking up much room at all. Muahahahahha.
Oh, and yes, I would still mock you, even if you gave me hand-spun, hand-dyed yarn. We are urban grrrrrls and must be ever mindful of our proximity to sheep.
