"One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter"

David Bowie's Blue Jean kept playing in my head when I was knitting this. So very strange since these jeans is for a boy. preview at Lala

Cute denim for friend's newest addition.Thanks J for the orange cotton yarn. I like the Rowan denim yarn. Maybe I will knit me something in this yarn ... soon.

Instant Hoodie

Let me continue to sing the knit-from-stash song. This yarn has been in stash since Feb 2007 from J. It is squishy soft and gorgeous, not to mention tricky, colorway. It wanted a simple pattern and the Heather Hoodie was it. Buttons are from the same etsy seller that I found the Military Cardi buttons. It is very soft and very warm!

Your knitting (needles) is loud

Last week, DH and I were sitting on the sofa, me knitting, him reading. After a bit, he looked over,

G: *click* *click* *click*. I can hear your clicking.
me: Yes. The needles are bigger than my last project. They make more noise.

Seriously. The US 10 Addi Turbo makes a hollow click sound, vs the US 6 Addi lace needles, which barely make any noise.
