This was my Friday picture of the ice cream pillows. My daughter says when its just pink and white it looks like a cow. I think it looks a little like cake and can see how you could easily modify this to be a cup cake. The store was out of the color Amey wanted so I am throwing "temper tantrum" and working on something else even though it doesn't effect my nieces pillow. If it gets close to her birthday I'll finish her's up.
What I am doing instead of finishing up the pillow is making the swatch for my husband's sweater. I'm using Berroco Comfort and I love how soft it is. I have used it before to crochet and it didn't seem as splitty. The pattern recommends a US size 8 needle and 20 stitches to get 4". I got 4.5". So I went down to a 7 and got 4.25". Now I'm swatching with a 6. It seems I am a tight crocher and a loose knitter. I love the feel and drape of the fabric on the size 8 needles but maybe it should be tighter for a sweater.
Yesterday I had some errands so I wasn't home to do anything. I did listen to some podcasts wile I worked on the swatch. I was going to play WOW today but it't Tuesday which means maintenance. There is not point even trying to sign on till afternoon so I will listen to more podcasts today and maybe play WOW tomorrow. I think that's it for today. I'll try and write some tomorrow.
