Triceratops
Sometimes, you just need to knit yourself a yellow Triceratops. Just for fun.

Last year, I made myself a Mr. Stegs.
I decided he needed a friend!
These are great patterns. So easy and quick. Instant gratification! It was also a great way to practice my newly honed seaming skills. Here's Mr. Stegs seam circa August 2006:
Yeah, I had no idea what I was doing last year! I honestly thought this didn't look too bad. Now I think it looks like he had horrible open heart surgery! But check this out:
Oh yeah! Soooo much better! Jolene even thought I had knit it in the round. I've got mad seaming skills now!
I'm suffering from major project ADD. I can't seem to stick to one project. I just keep casting on. Last night I started this:
It's a cutey cute baby sweater from Simply Knitting magazine. In keeping with my recent blue and brown obsession, the body of the sweater will be... brown and then the arms will be... blue! This will be for a friend's boy baby who will be arriving in June. Then I will need to make another baby item for a girl baby arriving in July. That will probably be a lacy Elizabeth Zimmerman baby sweater like the one Sarah made.
Gotta say... I'm really surprised how much I am liking the Cotton Ease. I kind of want to make a sweater for ME out of it. I think it would make a great summer cardigan or hoodie. It is something I am definitely contemplating!
I'm still chugging away on my Seasilk scarf too.
I can't wait to block this. I'm really curious to see how big it is going to turn out. I love how soft and drapey the Seasilk is.
I have kind of stalled on my STR Obsidian socks. But they're still taking up space in my knitting bag and I do pull them out and knit a row here and there.

he is so cute! love his goofy little smile. Glad stegs has a buddy now. (it looks like he's recovered nicely from his surgery)
I love him!
Yay! Coleen.
Please don't take my business away and start finishing other peoples items!!! ;)
how beautiful of a cosmetic surgeon you are!
Those dinos are adorable!!
Fantastic dinos! Thanks so much for contributing to our team for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation walk. Good luck in Heide's CF Yarn drawing!

I thought Steg's scar was pretty good too - until I saw Trice's! I'm a beginning knitter - even the purse I have been working on looks like child's play compared to your stuff!
So much cuteness! Where'd you get that Cotton Ease - our Joann's doesn't have it.
Coleen, Thank you very much for your donation to the CF foundation. You are now officially entered into the drawing for Scout's yarn. Karen said "Thank you" too.
love the dinos! I made the same matching pair. (I totally recommend knitting them in the round in the future--that'll show how far you've come from the improvised seaming, to have NO seaming!) :)
Your sperm has legs now!
Super cute!! Your seaming does look mighty fine now! ;)
The dinos are super cute! I have totally non-existent seaming skills, unfortunately.
I'm loving the brown and blue combo on the sweater, too!
