"obsessed" is a term that i am intermittently accused of being. right now, in terms of knitting, it is appropriate.
i've got a thousand million infinity ideas of things to knit and only two hands and a few hours a day--it's so frustrating! and when i can't be knitting, i'm thinking of more things to knit. i've decided to start doing it as a(nother) side job, too, using etsy as my home base. our screenprints are doing well as usual, but i have so many great knitting ideas that i might as well be making money while i indulge my obsession :). the things i am interested in selling are all toy-type items, not scarves or hats. i get a lot more gratification from knitting a small thing quickly than i do from a larger, more elaborate piece no matter how gorgeous (not that i've ever finished anything elaborate and gorgeous...)
i finished a really neat little project the other day and i'm happy with how it came out, though i will be tweaking the pattern and making a modified version before i list any to sell.
right now i'm working on a mobile for my nephew kai, and then a really, really cute hat for the little belly guy (will post pics when it's done). all i want to do right now is knit... but rowan just woke up, so i guess i will go play with the munchkin *mock sigh*

OMG! I was just browsing through your other blog (I know, total stalker! LOL) when it hit me! Why not use those mushroom pictures (7.16.08) you took for Mr. Baby? That would go perfect with your theme in the room AND match the too cute mobile you just made! They are really good pictures!
