What's on them needles now

Montego Bay Scarf, aka "adult knitting" (translate: will not knit with this fancy yarn while around kids and their inherent - ahem - "juiciness") And that means this doesn't get worked on a lot, because I am ALWAYS around the kids.

Summer top for Kate, patternless, made of Lily Sugar and Cream that I got for $.99/skein. This one is flying. And this is SO "mommy knitting."

The Petunia Tote: I do truly want to use this, I'm just not sure I want to knit it. But I'll probably still finish it eventually.

I'm having to resist casting on other new projects, but I have the itch...especially that Bonsai Tunic, because I got the yarn for my birthday...and some other stash yarn is calling my name...and Jen wants to do a knitalong which sounds so fun...well, I'm bound to get a lot of knit time in when I go to OK in two weeks (long car rides and lots o' babysitting).

WIP's, June 2007

OK, so here's what's on the needles as of June 3:

Two-Tone Shrug from Fitted Knits, in Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece (love this yarn)IMG_4861 Yes, that's my toe in the picture. Sneaky.

Petunia Tote from IK Spring '07, in Tahki Cotton Classic (love this too)IMG_4864
This one is giving me fits so it is taking a break right now. I think working from a chart is easy in theory but not in reality, or at least my reality. I keep getting distracted by the kids and messing up the pattern. I need zombie knitting right now.

Montego Bay Scarf in Handmaiden Sea Silk in Peridot, intended gift for Susan.
No pic available for this right now, and it is also giving me fits. It's my first experience with laceweight. This is GORGEOUS yarn, very soft and luminous, but I am super clumsy with it. It will take me a while to get used to it. But I do think it will be a luxurious gift for someone who is very hard to shop for!

Itty Bitty Hat, the upside down daisy one, in Rowan Handknit Cotton and various remnants. IMG_4867 It needs some flower petals. This is the 0-6 month size, for Audrey. I will make one for Kate so they can be flowers together.
