Catch up

The craft room has finally been put back together, only to have to take it apart again this week, because the blinds have come in. I did get a card done today in honor of Father's Day!


Materials
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black, DeNami Designs - Happy Father's Day (Cling) and Golfer Chickie (cling), Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Peacock Feathers
Cutting/Embossing: Spellbinder's Nestabilities - Standard and Scalloped Circles
Misc.:  Copic markers, Twine from The Twinery, yellow stickles

However...
When there's limited card-making, there's still knitting going on. I finished a pair of socks (2 at a time!!!), another puerperium (yes, it's lucky #13), two baby bibs, and I've almost finished COLOR AFFECTION (the wrap that everyone is crazy about over on Ravelry). I'm also in the midst of a baby sweater class at Yarn Harbor. If only putting up blinds was as fun as knitting or card-making...

Here are the photos and details of what I've finished...

Baby Bibs (Baby and Toddler Bibs) - 1 cabled, 1 plain:




Needle: Size 6
Yarn: Lily Sugar 'n Cream (100% Cotton)








Twilight Socks - 2 at a Time (Twilight)


I modified with some of the techniques used in Cheryl's class for the other two at a time socks that I just completed in class. And, I also adjusted stitch counts to account for the fact that I was using a heavier yarn to make them.

Needles: Size 3
Yarn: Cascade Heritage Paints

Lucky 13 Puerperium (Puerperium)



Needle: Size 6
Yarn: Dreambaby DK 

Color Affection (Color Affection)

Needle: Size 6
Yarn:  Blue Moon Fiber Art's Socks that Rock - Thrush, Vancounver Violet, and Lucky

I need help blocking this - so I know that it just looks like a photo of a blob, but I'll try to get a photo once I get it blocked properly.
