I’m just testing a new plug in. It’s called Post Avatar and should work something like LiveJournals user avatar pics.

More later…I finished a Vine Lace Sock yesterday.

Yeah..see that, up there in the title….I FINISHED SOMETHING! Guess what? It’s not socks! It’s not even something I posted about starting. You see, Kae sent me this lubberly yarn for my b-day. D’zined Wool-Hemp Sportweight. It just screamed at me  – “I want to be an EZ February Baby Sweater!!!” Not to be one to tell yarn “NO”, I cast on.  I finished this Saturday at SnB and walked next door to Michaels and found the cutest buttons.

I finally got my fingerless gloves pattern written up. Remember these?

The pattern is very pithy ala EZ because I’m not so great at writing patterns. I really need some people to take a look at it and give it a test knit. I wrote the process out while I was knitting the gloves and filled in the (very little) detail later. If you knit these, please let me know. Let me know if you find any errors. I’d also like to have better photos for the pattern page. I also have the pattern listed in Ravelry so you can link it to your queue or project page. You can find the pattern here.

I hope you all enjoy it and that it doesn’t suck too much.
