ikea part 2

both of my current wips are lace. the socks (i just finished the heel of the second one!) and a new project for my mom,


it is the branching out from knitty. i am using the elisabeth lavold silky wool in a tweedy brown. i am making decent progress and the yarn is really soft.

i have new furniture! i finally made it back to ikea to pick up the bonde units in white. i am so glad that i did not settle for the billy stuff that i bought. i liked it, but since every piece of furniture in the office is white, the birch color i picked didn't work well. also, the bonde is a few inches deeper and that also worked out better. do you see the 9 years worth of marthas on the shelf there?? and behind the door is another 10 years of marthas weddings and kids magazines. i am obsessed. and fyi, she is coming out with what looks like another amazing magazine. i already subscribed of course!


can you see where my dandelion print idea ended up? i did a series of 3 in red, brown and orange along with a coordinating stripe in between. the frames were super cheap from ikea so this cost me almost nothing.


close up shot of the final pics. it isn't often i am content with the way my stuff comes out, but i do think this looks cool. now i just have to order some brown organizer things from hold everything IF they ship my media center soon (i don't trust them quite yet).

i have a knitters meeting at 3 today, i am looking forward to it. i have to go whip up a batch of brownies. happy sunday, and because i am a dork, i just want to remind you that grey's is on tonight :) will denny die? will der hate mer for what she did with george???
