Hand Knit by Amanda!

These are pretty sweet. I saw personalized labels on someone's knitted things on Ravelry, I think. So I found this 'charm woven labels' website and ordered myself 20 'Hand Knit by Amanda" labels on May 3, and they were waiting for me in today's mail. I think they're pretty awesome anyway.

Update on Knitting and Airports.

I'm very happy to report no problems getting my wooden circulars through security at both the Newark and San Diego airports. I'll need to post pictures on my progress, but on our trip to San Diego I managed to knit 3 full skeins of the Irish Hiking Baby Blanket, and I started the fourth, then it started to get kind of big to have out on my lap on the plane. Then I also got through about half of my mini-clapotis. I have 4 dropped stitch rows so far. I'm eager to finish both... but while we were gone my copy of Sensual Knits came Amazon... as well as my Classic Elite Cotton Bam boo... so now I'm anxious to try the Loop Shawl pattern to maybe bring as a wrap to an upcoming wedding. Ahh! Too much knitting I want to do!! But at least my LAST full time semester of grad school is over, and I have nothing to do now except work during the day. That leaves a whole lot of time to knit at night :-)
Edited to add photos, but I think the pics are at too high a resolution:
