So I've officially decided that I have no original ideas. Blah. I finished up a halter top for myself about 5 weeks ago, a maternity halter. Very cute, seed stitch top section, ties at neck. Was gonna finish writing up the pattern, even contemplated submitting it to the Knitty book, but never got around to finishing the largest size number crunching. Imagine my surprise when I check knitty this weekend, and there's *my* halter top in the Summer Surprise! Ack-good thing I didn't submit it, LOL! It's freaky how similar my top is to the Cleo version. More proof that there really is nothing new under the sun. Ah, well, at least I got a sexy maternity top out of it ;) Promise to post a pic as soon as I charge the digi batteries so you can see for yourselves just how alike great minds think.



In other knitting news, I've got a great idea for a new kid's design (which will probably show up in someone's else pattern in the next IK, with my luck lately!), but can't find a suitable yarn for it. Want something simple, slightly crisp, sport or Dk weight, and must be easy care since it's for a kid. My mind is a complete blank. Any suggestions?



I made myself some pretty neat stitch markers this weekend after being inspired by a friend's georgeous beaded necklaces. They came out very cool, I think. Again, pics when batteries have life.



That's it for now...
