WHOOHOO!!!!!
Now to hurry up and finish this silly scrub pad thingie my 15YO
requested (smaller and thicker than dishcloth to be more like the
scrubby-sponges he is used to using) so I can get this jeans on the
road...... *beaming*
Man, these skeins are sure TINY, though..... no wonder it takes 3 of
them to make baby jeans.

Cool! I can't wait to see the finished jeans. I had thought about making
that particular pattern a while back, but I knew that I wouldn't have them
finished before my youngest outgrew them! :-) I'm curious to know what the
yarn is like, since the pattern says that it fades like denim jeans do with
washing and wear. Good luck!

You'd be amazed at how much yarn some tiny things can take. It'll be
nice to get those cute little jeans started, won't it??
I just placed an order with Knit Picks for some of their Main Line
yarn - cotton/merino blend - for a sweater for my older daughter. She's
been chomping at the bit for me to make her this sweater - a Knit Picks
pattern for a long-sleeved top - for a while now, so I made an executive
decision on the color for her; I hope she likes it
I also recently placed an order with The Loopy Ewe for some Supersock in
a nice green and some laceweight - Capellini by Chewy Spaghetti, a yummy
merino/silk blend - in color Sullen (no, not a commentary on my mood
when I ordered it, but a nice variegated blue). I was quite pleased when
my order arrived 2 days after I placed it. They will definitely be
getting more business from me with service like that.

It's called Rowan Denim and I got it from yarnmarket.com. It's 100%
cotton yarn that evidently is designed to shrink JUST like blue jeans.
But at roughly $6 for a 50-gram skein, you probably don't want to knit
yourself blue jeans with it LOL.
I see. Well, after I washed my brand-new dishcloth and it shrunk and
faded, the thought passed my mind that maybe I shouldn't have spent the
money on that yarn but instead just used S&C yarn and might have gotten
the same result for cheaper, except that it is worsted weight yarn LOL.

More information, please?
Mary
I'd be glad to give you more information if you tell me what you want
more information on. I'm sort of desperately overworked and underslept
right now, and my interpretive skills are rather weak at this moment.

Oh, I'm sorry :-) I shouldn't have asked that without reading the other
posts in the thread, they told me everything.
Go back to bed! Your welfare is more important than my curiosity, honestly.
I hope you feel better soon,
Mary
Oh, I'm perfectly healthy. I am just having a more chaotic than usual
week this week (dental appointments, sick dog needing surgery, etc.)
after a more chaotic than usual week last week (major software problems
on my computer that cut my productivity to about 60% of normal, and the
work volume never slows) that is forcing me to work at more
unconventional hours than my usual crazy hours.
I am starting to wonder if this is going to happen so often that I need
to recalibrate what I consider "normal," LOL.
