I want to be a penguin. Except... sometimes they get eaten

Hey guys, sorry for the no blogging. I'm sick. I have some kind of evil, violent, vicious, soul-sucking.... oh, right. Ahem. Anyway, I have a bad cold. Tuesday I spent nearly the entire day wishing I was dead because I had a fever and I was SO COLD. So... it'll be a short post as I'm not much with the words today. But look, yesterday I got new yarn!

The cashmere blend is the same stuff I used to make the fingerless gloves for my scavenger hunt partner, that are blue. I'm probably going to make fingerless gloves for me with it. :) My husband was like "So, where's the yarn for my fingerless gloves?" And I said "Too sick to understand. Leave a message." :) I did, even in my sickness, finish the baby pants.

Except for the icord. Look how cute the icord and the little seamed hems are.

I'm going to stitch "Potter" across the bum. Anyone know a good tutorial for duplicate stitch?

Off to continue my book (It's a LOT easier to read than knit while this sick.) I'm reading "Beyond the Highland Mist" by Karen Marie Moning, which is a romance novel. I'm not normally into actual Romance novels but I really like this one. It's all Angie's fault. I blame her. :)

I had to scoem see your blog after our exchange on Ravelry. I love those little Potter pants - if they are for James or Albus Severus they are Weasley pants too, at the very same time!

Yuoo seem to have been ill - hope you are feeling better!!!!!!!!

I hope you feel better real soon! The pants are so cute! Those colors are my daughter's school colors, she didn't even realize it until I pointed it out.

Love the pink camo, lol!
