pf for me or pf for you too?

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
It is pf time!!!! Anyone have the link for the wholesale? (I don't know why I can't hang onto it ever)..

Anyway- this morning is soooo stinking cold I believe the kids and I could use a pf fix. Well in part because DS1 slept in DDs georgia rose cardi last night and DH was kind of appalled this morning- I was just surprised he didn't itch..... So new sweaters around!

DS1 is easy- Bagdad blue sherwood.

DD is not quite so easy- ukranian red in something little girl- I have already knit her a swing thing- so something else please. Maybe haiku? I don't know...

DS2? I have no idea- maybe nothing since he can wear an old sweater of DS1. But any suggestions anyway for both a pattern and a color?

Me? I need another CPH in some practical wear all the time color. And I believe I also need one of these.... http://www.sweaterbabe.com/knitting-...t-cardigan.htm but with slightly longer sleeves in a beautiful color. My first cph is a dusty blue but angora- so not so practical. I am trying to decide between patience blue, shaba green, sheplova mushroom, fathers gray, ukranian red or moldova burgundy.

TIA!

I just got out all my PF partial skeins to work on a simple raglan poncho for dd2. The days are still warm, but the nights and mornings are cool, and the PF beckons! I have a couple of PF sweaters to finish for myself--one needs buttons,(Ulmus cardi) the other short sleeves (Wicked). I had just about forgotten how much I love knitting with the stuff. And there are some new colors!

Over here, there's a load of gorgeous knitted dresses for little girls in the shops. I'm planning one of those for my DD, and I suggest you do the same

Awesome- Thank You! I always order an extra skein from pf for each project. then you won't run short and get another dye lot.... I have been knitting socks and little cable knit bags with my odd skiens. Well- I think a whole order just for me will work- last night I dug out a big wool sweater jacket out of my closet that I picked up at a yard sale and DH wore it this morning and he is now in love. So I guess he wants one too.

no advice on projects, but the sheplova mushroom is my very fave PF color! Soooooooo pretty.

I am familiar with that first one and had planned to knit it . . . and am LOVING the second one even more! Thanks for sharing that!

The Swing Thing I knit for dd almost 2 years ago still gets no love from her. I must line it or she'll never wear it. And it's just the right size for her, now.
