Actual Knitting

I know. I've been bad about posting about my knitting. This is, after all, supposed to be a knitting blog, but in my defense life has been a little much lately. That and my camera's always seem to disappear whenever I want to blog (darn gnomes). I finished a scarf for my aunt Celia (if you're reading this know that I just have to finish weaving in the ends and I'll hand it to you when I come for Morgan's wedding).
It reminds me of Where's Waldo. I really like it.
I've also been hard at work on this sweater. I'm saying that it's for me, but it's not, but fear of the "curse" will always have me saying that it's my sweater ( I'm pretty sure we'll be safe regardless). I will probably wind up wearing it more than he will anyways.
Looking around at a small children's boutique in the neighborhood has me thinking about knitting baby booties and sweaters en masse and selling them there. It would be a nice little thing for a little extra money on the side. I've noticed that I'll knit myself things, but that I don't use them. I think it's because I'm afraid of ruining them. Eventually they'll wear out and I'll be upset if I have to pitch it. If I knit and sell my creations then I know they'll get used, but I don't have to watch the deterioration. It seems highly weird to me that I feel this way about my knits. After all the wearing out means that they were well used and well loved, right?
Regardless, I am working on these bad boys from Wendy Johnson's Socks from the Toe Up. I really like these and they seemed to knit up fast. I used Stroll Tonal yarn from KnitPicks.
