Just as I thought... they look adorable! The colors suit their personalities, it seems. Again, fantastic job on the sweaters!

Thanks! I want to let you know that I thought about you the other day... I was in my NotSoLYS and they were having a sale and I thought I'd pick up some notions and they had the chibi-blue but I thought "I want a chibi-pink"!

chibi-blue?! That is darn impressive. I guess Japanese is slowly invading the English language. ;)

And I want some chibi-pink, too!

You know, apparently I have a different understanding of your user name... I assumed it referred to the chibi darning needles. They come three to a pack and are in a tube that's about the size of a chapstick tube(not sure if you're in the US) and the one's I saw were blue tipped but they also have pink tipped ones....

Thanks (if you're referring to the sweaters) and they sure are! (if you're referring to the childlings!

dragonintherain March 8 2006, 19:00:55 UTC

Awww... those look GREAT! I love to see the FO's actually being worn. Thoughtful of them to send you that pic, most people don't! I have a pic of my favorite twin girls using my Olympic baby blankets! ( http://myweb.cableone.net/penumbra/knits/2blankies.jpg )

Those babies look so cute! Great job on your project as well. :)

TOO ADORABLE!

I have *just about* finished the back of my olympic sweater. Then the fronts from the armpits up, then the sleeves... *sigh*

_gin March 10 2006, 02:15:54 UTC

Thanks Emma! Why so long on your sweater?

emmacrew March 10 2006, 02:26:32 UTC

1. it's 52" around and 26" long, and was knit in one piece to the underarms
2. my hands started being vaguely unhappy with knitting, due to a combination of pregnancy and medications, and so there were many days when I did not knit at all, and other days where I knit 2-3 rows and had to stop. :-(

The back is now done and I only have a few more pattern repeats on one of the front portions, so I hope to be hitting the sleeves within a week or two. My new goal for completion is mid-April, when we will attend the sheep festival where I bought the wool I used to spin the yarn last year. If I can get from two pounds of carded wool to a sweater within the year, I'll be pretty happy.

You're pregnant?!?
