Socks

i really haven't been knitting that much lately, but finally finished something and thought i would share:



pattern- mince pie mayhem
yarn - malabrigo sock in color turner
needles - size #1.5  circular

didn't make any mods. knit in magic loop.  nice pair of socks - just in time for summer, oops.


what i have been busy with is putting together an organization business.  i'd really like to be able to help busy moms organize their homes and families.  you can check out my new venture at www.simplyorganizednyc.com - and shoot me an email to set up an appointment!

May The Tooth Be With You

h is now in first grade and most of his friends have started to lose their teeth.  h has not and that has led to many meltdowns... to try to make him feel better, i made him the ultimate star wars fan tooth pillow so he would be all set when he finally does lose that tooth!





may the tooth be with you
yarn: imperial stock ranch tracie in black for the base and cream for the millennium falcon
needles: size 4 for the base and side 5 for the ship


first i knit two 14 inch squares in the black and then knit the basic shape for the millennium falcon out of the cream going up one size in needles.  i used a picture of a cookie millennium from pottery barn - they had already simplified the details and i figured why not take the easy way out!





i then sewed the ship on the pillow, added the details and then sewed the whole thing together and stuffed it with a 14 inch pillow form.  for the tooth pocket, i just knit a simple oval shape.





here's hoping he loses a tooth soon!
