WIP Wednesday - 5/9/2012

It's WIP Wednesday and what a wonderful Wednesday it is!  The sun is shining outside my window, but it is not too hot.

I have lots keeping me busy in the studio today.  I like calling my sewing room a studio...because, really, it is more than just a sewing room.  And, while I am not the most artistic or original or talented person out there...it is where I create...

There are tons of babies being born in this world every single day...and I seem to know most of them.  I thought some burp pads would be in order:




I moved my operation from the kitchen to the studio, because the light is better in there...and technically, I am creating...so, what better place?



Isn't the stack cute?  There's also a pair of white jeans under there that I need to hem...



On the knitting front, I don't think these socks have really moved much since last Wednesday:



...nor have these:



I did a little on My Tarty Scarf:



I have been knitting, honest.  Look!  This cardi has progressed:



Remember when I bought this yarn:



and this yarn?



And remember when I discussed that I needed another one of the Oceana to make the shawl in TML or two in MCN Fingering, because the Carnivale is an MCN base?  While I was in Fort Worth last week, I went by Madtosh.  They only had Oceana on Sock, Chunky and a couple of other bases that were not appropriate.  We looked on the Madelinetosh site - no dice.  The Loopy Ewe and Jimmy Beans Wool didn't have any either - and since these are retail establishments, all I would be getting is the TML.  MCN is still in R&D phase.  Finally, we found some at Purl SoHo.  I ordered two skeins, in case there was a color variation with the one I have.  They came yesterday:



There was no color variation, but that's okay, because I already have a project in mind for the other skein. 

While I was waiting for my order, the Madelinetosh shop (not to be confused with Madtosh - because while they may be two wholly owned subsidiaries of the same company - they are separate entities) got some MCN Fingering in the warehouse and they dyed up some Oceana. 

Guess what I did?  Yep, I bought two skeins of Oceana on MCN Fingering.  I kind of wanted to keep the bases in the same family for this shawl - The Lazy Girl - and now I will have more Oceana on TML than I ever thought I would.  One skein is taken, remember, but if you have any suggestions for the other two, please send them on.

Did y'all notice that there's a project missing?

MK out.
