Grab your knitting needles and come relax with me.

Temptations
I am really really enjoying the Celtic Tote.
I am further along than this-about two inches further along. However, I am being bad--I should be spending more time knitting Ivy's Heart Socks (need some good sun time for pictures), but the tote is so darn addictive. I don't know if it's the larger needles and yarn or what, but it's so fun!
Out and about today we managed to stop by Michaels and I persuaded Jamey I needed more wool to for this gorgeous thing (ravelry link). It's a doily pattern, but with worsted weight yarn and bigger needles, it'll be a great lap blanket. And it's so pretty! I think I'll do this one instead of Hemlock Ring (another Ravelry Link) by Brooklyn Tweed (sorry BT) but I love that the outlaying pattern changes up a bit. I bought 5 skeins of Patons Classic Wool in Rich Red (of course red)--it was on clearance. It won't go with the orange chair in the living room, but hey I like red. It's still far out in my queue--it might be my list for next year when it gets cold.
Ack, my LIST! It just keeps on growing! Of course, Ravelry doesn't help--they're a big bunch of enablers. I've got Lorelei Hats, shawls (and more shawls), scarves, wrist warmers, cardigans... Heck this blog should be called: Birdy Must Knit!
