Le Slouch

This has got to be one of my favourite patterns. It's quick, it's simple, it's FREE and it doesn't squish your 'fro down and give you hat head! I've made a bunch of these for various friends and family. And now, here's one for me....

Serious Slouch

I busted-ed into my stash for this one. Just some plain ol' Patons Shetland Chunky in Everglades Variegated. It's just so soft against my delicate forehead. I'm really into green and brown this year. I guess it's a nice change from the grape and purple that I'm usually drawn to.

Smiley Slouch

Besides the groovy factor, this pattern is great for the pocket book. You can pick up the pattern for FREE at Knit and Tonic (thanks!). Everybody Slouch!

p.s. and thanks to everyone for all of their well wishes on the baby thang!

Baby Purl

I have been a bad knit blogger lately. But I have a very good reason. For the past 14 weeks or so I've been more than preoccupied with the bun that is growing in my oven. Yes, I am preg-a-licious and starting to feel fine fine fine. Weeks 6 to, approximately, 12 were a bit of a freakin' nightmare what with the constant nausea and utter exhaustion, but hey - c'est la vie! The hardest part was the lack of knitting and socializing. But I'm back, needles ready!

Thanks to the Hubs for his everlasting love and support and to the few gals who "knew" and never let the babe outta the bag. I really appreciate it!

I've been secretly blogging about the pregnancy over here and will continue to do so. So if you're interesting in the preggo-progress please visit me there. We'd be more than happy to see you!
