I'd love to show you my new knitting project, but I don't have a picture until I finish it. Above are the supplies for said project. Some of the softest merino yarn I've ever felt, perfect for baby clothes! And some E-Z Bobs, below:
E-Z Bobs are the perfect tool for intarsia. I'll be knitting yellow duckies, so I'll wrap enough yellow for each ducky around an E-Z Bob and the plastic device helps keep me from swearing long and hard as I untangle my yarn with each row. This way the yarn stays with the intarsia site and doesn't tangle-or so the theory goes. We'll see if they work. The duckies aren't huge, but they are about 4x4 inches, so I got the large ones.
I can tell you this. It's going to be a sleep sack for a baby, with a front zipper. You'll just have to watch it grow.
Since this is rather boy-colored, I also have a girl project in the works, if I can find the right yarn. I need several colors for the yoke of the sweater and beads too. It's a beauty, but I didn't design it. Debbie Bliss did.
And I think I may have found a good yarn for the Rowan Gansy. We'll see if Andy likes the color.
Happy Knitting!

Okay - this looks rather interesting! Do I know who this is for? Can't wait to see you use those bobbin thingies!
Yeah, I can't quite make sense of the bobbin thingies. You'll have to bring them with and show me how it works.
