Lang Jawoll in Hot Pink. And chocolatey goodness! My silly camera has not picked up this colour well at all. It&#8217;s not so watermelon-y, it&#8217;s much more of a true Hot Pink.<br \/>\nI think Em actually started foaming at the mouth. She now thinks that while she is at school I do nothing but pick up parcels stuffed with gorgeous sock yarn, knitting magazines and chocolate, then come home and eat it all before she gets here, then hide the evidence, LOL!<br \/>\nSo I had to share the chocolate. And she wants the sock yarn knitted up into socks for herself.<br \/>\nGood luck, kid \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\nI have been knitting, although when I laid out these pieces to take pics, Em asked &#8220;Haven&#8217;t you finished that <i>yet<\/i>?&#8221; This from a kid who knits an average of 2 stitches a week.<br \/>\nI did point out that she has kept me just a little busy lately.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"satinsleevesdone.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/satinsleevesdone.jpg\" width=\"398\" height=\"279\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nNo, <a href=\"http:\/\/goddess1.typepad.com\/i_hide_yarn\/\">Bliss<\/a>, it&#8217;s <i>not<\/i> a bikini top \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\nSatin&#8217;s sleeves are done.<br \/>\nNo problem here, except that I ran out of yarn one row before the cast off edge. I hate that &#8211; but not enough to rip back a few rows \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"satinfront.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/satinfront.jpg\" width=\"398\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nThe front is coming along, but once again, I&#8217;m tired of stocking stitch. I&#8217;m up to the 12th ball of yarn. The first eleven were great, not a single knot among them. This one has had 2 knots so far. Isn&#8217;t it always a way? There&#8217;ll be plenty of ends to weave in. Yay! Not.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m enoying to Jo Sharp DK, and a hint for anyone else who likes to knit with it, WEBS is having an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yarn.com\/specials\/specials_main.html#top\">Anniversary sale<\/a>. There is some seriously good stuff here, including Cascade 220 for $4.70 a hank, and Jo Sharp DK for $28 a bag. $2.80 a ball. I thought I got mine cheap!<br \/>\nNow I think I&#8217;ll try to convince my family that my Birthday did come early and I need a chocolate cake \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mail Day!!
