In the middle of knitting my husband a sweater that has flames on it.

Making a baby gift.

Looking at the utter chaos that is my craft area and wishing the cleaning fairy would come and fix it up.

I ain't got no resolutions so don't even look here fer 'em.

I have to see a picture of the flame sweater, cuz right now, I'm a little skeered.

Is it the flame sweater from S-n-B Nation? I love that book way more than I thought I would. So, where are your Amy Butler craft bag photos? I would love a pattern review. My mom just started knitting, so that may be a good Mother's Day Gift.

If I could justify this yearning as a pregnancy craving I would.
I have to have that Rogue sweater. I am in deep deep love.

Really, Hobby Lobby is out? *sigh* I'm so out of trends, I really like that place. It's much cheaper and they always have needles.

Glad you're back Ang! The flame sweater sounds awesome!

Wow...my poncho is the only one still in?
That's power. : )
