I finished my cowl a few weeks ago and have been working on an Ulmus shawl.  I love knitting triangles, and am really enjoying working on it.  It’s slow going, mostly because I don’t have very much time to knit, but slow and steady wins the race…..right?  It’s a great pattern.  The stitch pattern is really easy.  I did take a break from it last night though.  I knit a slug!

He was so much fun to knit.  Okay…he was actually supposed to be a snail, but I was really tired and I was hurrying to finish him before I had to go to bed, and I completely goofed the shell.  I know exactly what I did wrong, and I’m planning to start a snail as soon as I get done typing this.  It turned out for the best anyway.  I think he looks great as a slug.  The shell would have hidden his lovely stripes.  Sorry if he looks a bit fuzzy in the picture.  These were taken very quickly (it was raining) with my iPhone.

Speaking of rain, it’s been raining for 2 weeks now.  I am so tired of it.

Time to go knit a snail.

Seriously I do.  It’s an addiction really.  Anyway, I found some super cute baby teethers that I just had to share:

I bought the Triceratops and Bat teethers.  I’m seriously thinking about picking up the skull one too.
