40cakes | Ravelry and Knittery

Only 495 people are ahead of me in line for a ravelry.com invite! Oh please oh please hurry up, 495 people!

In other news, I finished my dad's overdue slippers while in line for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and I think they came out quite nice for a pattern I sorta kinda made up. One of them is lopsided, though.

Also finished my mom's blanket, of which the knit pieces have been done for months, but the boring sewing bits always make me not want to finish things.

Right now I'm working on a Sock Monkey baby set for a coworker whose wife is expecting, and a turd-shaped toilet paper cozy. Let's see how those turn out. If the latter is really awesome, I'm thinking of submitting the pattern to The Anticraft, as it seems right up their alley.

The blanket I'm working on for myself (mine is in red, grey, and black) has about three repetitions done of the pattern, so it's coming along quite nicely. I'm not terribly advanced enough to do a lot of patternwork or lace, but luckily this one isn't too hard, and Homespun yarn is VERY FORGIVING.
