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.
