Have an excuse to buy and wear sexy shoes.
Eh.

They’re fun. Enough.

What’s fun is knowing they turn someone on, and knowing you can turn someone on is worth it.

6. Baby Set

Made this set (among others) for C. Still haven’t met C, or seen him wear these…but I was proud of the cuteness…

5. Purpureum Sweater

Best friend is having the first baby in our clique any day now.

It’s been a tough pregnancy…not painful or even all that dangerous, just troublesome in that she ends up in the hospital once or twice a week with seemingly minor issues.

I went out to spend a week with her, and ended up playing nursemaid to a frustrated, bedridden, anxious woman.

But I had a lot of time to knit, and before I went home, I finished the Purpureum.

I love this sweater. I love it a whole lot. I love the story of the wool, the bright glass buttons, the fact that it was the first challenging project I tackled after my elbow surgeries.
