EGGS!.... And some knitting too...


I Have Eggs! I Have 3 Diesel Eggs! They will be going into the incubator tomorrow, after I go pick up some more eggs from another breeder. She will not be running her incubator until November, so I offered to throw however many she could collect into the Brinsea with my eggs! In 18-21 days, hopefully I'll have baby chicky pictures to show you!

I have been asked to make 2 different items for xmas presents this year. One is the 86-10 Headband by drops, the other is the 108-4a scarf by drops.

I found a pattern that I must share! Peeps! I love Peeps! Chickies are amazing, and these little stash busting chicklets are so cute, I'm making them to add to my ML homeless shelter sets, not to mention at least one for myself....It says that they are ducks, but I say they are chickies! Not ducklings...

For being so good tonight, I give you baby pictures from a previous hatch (everybody loves then and now pics, right?):

Discovery of DROPS

I have a new love....Drops/Garnstudio.
I bought 108-110, and fell in love with 109-1. Then 108-3, a lace cap. I went and bought 17 balls of Eskimo in color 46, and 2 balls of Alpaca in Dark Gray.

Along with the yarn, I bought pattern books 105-107, and they are okay, but I'm more of a winter-wear person. I guess I prefer to embrace the summer heat, but bundle up against the winter cold? I hate winter....

I'm working on Kat's blanket, finally. It's squares of Lion Brand Russet and Lion Brand Chenille Ruby Print. Yes, I'm using Acrylic, and I enjoy it!!! Actually, I did go to Yarns at the Adobe the other day with my sister, Allie. I brought her so she could touch things, and get her out of the house. She liked a lacy shrug that I had knit earlier, and had her model for me, so I had her pick out some yarn that she liked so I could knit her one. She picked out Berroco Peruvia Quick, 100% Peruvian highland wool yarn in the sea turtle colorway. I also bought 2 more hanks of Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light in the stone washed mix colorway. It wasn't listed on the Berroco site, so I don't think they make it anymore, I had to go look it up on Ravelry.
