Knit Nation was great :) Lots of pretty colours and so much yarn, temptation was everywhere !! This is what I came out with: 4 skeins of undyed yarn (2.50 a skein, who can't buy it!!) 2 skeins of Deeply Wicked from EasyKnits, 1 skein of Midnight from Old Maiden Aunt Yarns and 1 skein of Milly from Juno. AND I stayed within my budget that I took with me. WOO HOO!! However, it means I'm not allowed to buy yarn or needles for awhile...Ah well :) I love these and couldn't leave them behind!

Mommy & Baby are super happy with the Squares on a Roll blanket :) It's been the highlight of conversation between everyone who has seen it on my pages and all her family and friends that get to see it with baby.
Also, I have completed the Bernat Jacquards skirt I was working on. All I need to do it put some elastic for waist band and ta-da!! I will add photos of it later once the elastic is in.
I have completed my first pair of socks!!! I've got a ball slightly larger than a golf ball leftover and haven't decided what to do with it yet. Maybe some mini socks or Ipod cover.
Now I have also started a circle spiral blanket with the leftover yarn from the Squares on a Roll. I really like the way it looks but I don't know if I'll have enough yarn to make it a decent baby size. I can't buy more yarn for it either so will need to improvise! Have a peek:
Almost finished my Hitchiker as well :) That isn't in a time frame and it's my project that requires no thinking so I work on it during movies or if I'm a little to tired to follow a pattern.
I have also cast on a 2nd pair of socks and I LOVE the colours. very excited about these and I'm making them a little more snug then the first pair. Going to treat myself to some new needles I think soon!! I need 2.5mm for that little extra snugness :)
