FO and other knitting-related talk

here's my latest FO (that's finished object, for all you non-knitters). and okay, so it's not completely finished - it still needs a few buttons - oh, and it still needs to be blocked - but close enough. once it get it blocked and buttoned, i'll have adella do a few model shots and i'll post those too. i'm still working on the basket (actually it has been put away for a couple weeks now) but i'm hoping to finish soon. it's looking good, but it hurts to knit! adella will love it, so it will be worth the pain... but i just want to be done with it. i've also been putting a border on a baby blanket that me, amy, and kim knitted for beth's baby boy, lucas, who will be born in july. pics of that too, soon. okay, so enough knitting blah blah...
