I'm so close to finishing my first listing for knitted baby pants. Actually, the pants are finished, I'm just adding embellishment now. It's taking all I have to get to the end. If it weren't for the shop, I'd put it aside and move on to the next project (ask me how I have a pair of socks that I finished 5 years ago but have yet to weave in the ends....I have a ridiculous attention span that's how).
Anyway, last night I couldn't take it, I needed SOMETHING finished, so I whipped up this little bracelet/cuff thing.
It is in the same colors as the pants, and with the same embellishments (so it doubles as a teaser for the pants). I think it turned out kind of cute! It's sort of a girly version of 1980s sweat band things. I also like that it's summery and soft and I just love the colors.
So I don't know, I might have to add an "earthbound mommy" section to my shop and make these guys - this yarn is cotton/modal, machine washable, and comes in a spectrum of the yummiest, juiciest colors, so the combinations are endless - I can just imagine the color explosion on my shop if I made and listed a bunch in different colors. Would love to know what you all think!

Oh thanks for the good feedback Nickie! I was worried, 'cause I didnt get a word about it yesterday. But I'm gonna make them b/c I just love them. I actually am going to make some a tad smaller - b/c as big as my wrist is, it was sliding around too much for me by the end of the day - except I should probably wash it first to see how much it shrinks. In any case I will let you know immediately when I get it figured out and get one in the mail to you! Gratis - your prize for first to like it ;-)
