I should have called the wonky slipper a "she". They're analogous to Lawrence and me...he's more of the serious, lost-in-his-own-thoughts type while I'm the weirdo. haha.
I went to Michael's last night because I read on a forum that ALL their yarn was on sale. Well...they had no more Vanna's Choice in chocolate. :( I needed 1 more ball for Ela's scarf. GAHHH. However, I did pick up other yarn...specifically some cotton because I wanted to try making Saartje's Bootees (under free patterns on the right). They are SO cute, and I figure it can't hurt to have a few lying around for the next time I need a baby gift!
Yesterday morning I started a Garden Scarf (from The Happy Hooker). It's basically a bunch of big open flowers crocheted together. It's perfect for walking because I'm only holding 1 flower at a time until I have to join it to the scarf. I'm making this one for myself so I don't get burnt out making gifts for others! :) I've already 7 flowers (over 2 feet) done. I'm using the left over Vanna's Choice yarn in Brick and Honey from Ela's scarf.
After getting more involved in the knitting community, I'm just finding more and more things I want to make! :D Like the slouchy hat on Happy2Knit's blog. That led me to go look for patterns and I found the Pretty Puff Slouchy Hat.

Cool slouchy hat! - but, it's crochet and I don't know how to do that yet. Do I see a new obsession coming my way?
