I haven't completed a new project, but I wanted to give a shout out to the Orioles.  The hitting as a team is becoming more teamlike, and it's wonderful to hear about it on the radio or see the chart during gameday.  By the end of the month I'll have cable so I'll finally get the see the O's on tv in my own home. :D  Way to go O's!, and congratulations to Melvin Mora!  By the way, the Tigers are one of my all-time favorite teams.  I lived in Michigan a couple different times growing up and I graduated from the University of Michigan. 

I started the baby blanket as I found a superwash wool in a color good for a boy or a girl.  I'm on the 3rd of 12 skeins.  Archangel Michael is all about cobalt blue so maybe the little cobalt blue in here would give the child in the hospital extra health points :D

BRob had 4 hits!  Yes!  Congratuations Brian Roberts!  I made a little vow nearer to the beginning of the season that when Brian Roberts hit 4 hits in one game I will knit a blanket for Project Linus.  I made it a special thing because the yarn I use isn't cheap.  I think that people who use acrylic have as good a heart as I do, but I don't want a kid who is already going through a hard time to have to warm up to acrylic because of me.  I'm snobby that way; it's superwash wool all the way, baby!  Wool is not sanctioned for charity work, but I think it's just because of the shrinkage factor, and superwash is not suppose to shrink as much.  The last blanket I made for Project Linus was not sent back :D

Knitting these socks was not a pleasant experience.  I used Tofutsies Item #855 on #2 circulars.  It contains 50% superwash, 25% soysilk, 22.5% cotton and 2.5% chitin which is crab shells.  It was incredibly stretchy which is why I didn't complete the pattern through the foot.  The pattern contained a yarnover row 2 times in 8 rows.  I won't use this yarn for yarnovers again.  After my next pair of socks (as I already have the yarn) I won't use this yarn at all probably.  I don't see the use for it, and it's not even hand painted.
