I want to be the mom who bakes, sews and knits.
The only issue is... I don't really do any of those things well, so here's me sharing with you all my 101's.
Laugh with me or at me, I don't care. I just hope I can evolve during this process!

Wham Bam Finished!
You may recall I posted about the Wham Bam Thank You Lamb cowl. Well hurrah hurrah! I am finished. Not just one, not two but three! I knit them as Chrissie prezzies so I had to keep on the down low about them.
They were great to knit up. Just my speed. Literally. You can whip one of those puppies up in no time but they look amazing! Thank you to 1funkyknitwit for bringing it to my attention in the first place. You can find the pattern for free download on Ravelry.
They're a straight garter stitch with an off centered seam to give it a cool angled cuff.
I also made an amazing green one that I did not photograph, but the yarn on the sticks below is it!
I gave them each a quick hand wash and then blocked. Two were blocked already seamed. A tad tricky but I'd been so excited to seam them I forgot they hadn't been blocked! It still worked out and they all kept their shape. Of course I gave these all away but am planning on knitting one up in the blue for myself soon!

Wham Bam Thank You Lamb
My next project (Wham Bam Thank You Lamb cowl) will commence as soon as I get big enough needles. I just sat down to start it and realized I only had up to size 8mm in the kit from my mom. Boo. I need 9mm! Gah! And possibly 9.5mm as I seem to knit tight. But here are the colours I got today for two different cowls.
I'm just jonesing to get knitting again!
