I have achieved ducks! When I bought the yarn for this project Circles only had 5 skiens of the main color and I needed 6, so I put in a special order for 2 more skeins of the main color (an extra skein just in case). I've completed the front, back, a sleeve, and 3/4 of the second sleeve. There is nothing left for me to do but patiently wait for the phone call informing me that the skeins I need have come in. 

I was bad today. I couldn't help myself. I went to Circle's and bought a pattern and yarn for a baby outfit. It's a jumper with a matching hat and they both have ducks on them! It was too cute to resist.

I've already started the ribbing for the back right leg. I think that I might just knit the back left leg at the same time. I think that would make it easier for me. Ack! I just noticed, it's drop sleeve! Ah well at least I will be leaving a marker at the armhole. Hopefully all will go well.

JD requested a skull sweater. I labored over a drop shoulder skull sweater only to discover that because I knit so tightly (and am to stubborn/lazy to knit a swatch first) it came out too small for him. :( My cousin Shannon lucked out for Christmas. :) This is the successfull second attempt using a top down raglan method. All hail the top down raglan! 

Smada is going to be a Momma! Newly dubbed Smama is going to need something to keep Lil Smada cozy so I crocheted this blanket. 

This is an old photo. I can't remember when I knit these comfy pair of socks but since then I have knitted many more.
First pair of socks.
