cute little cousins

i haven't been knitting much lately. i finished the two pieces for the counterpane accessories pouch but i hate sewing the zipper and lining. i also am not a fan of the fabric that i bought for it. i'll probably wait until i buy a better fabric from a good fabric store.

i've got a bit of a secret project going for tracy. i owe her knitted things. sowy.

this past weekend i went down to the bay area to go to my cousin sofia's second birthday party. i bought the smallest ballet slippers i could find and they fit her perfectly!



she calls them princess shoes :)



my beautiful one-year-old cousin Bella modelled the hat i knit for her!



it was made with the leftovers from the sweater i knit for her from special knits (the cover sweater). isn't she adorable?

my freaking awesome mom bought me yarn too! i don't know what i did with my camera, so pictures are going to come once i start the projects. i'm going to make another odessa for my mom, the nutcracker slippers for me, and i'll give a pair of socks a try. i've never knit socks, and i'm still not convinced it's a good idea, but i'm going to do it anyway. i'll probably mess it all up, but whatever.

genetics homework time. wheeee.
