"Bigger is Better"




I spent a year and I knit a throw for our king size bed. It was beautiful, and took a long time to finish. But the other day I was lying on it and I thought it would make a wonderful sweater. So I gathered the whole thing up, and came up with this! Isn't it marvelous? I didn't want a single stitch to go to waste, so I used the entire blanket! That way, if the kids and I go out together, they can all stand close to me, and I won't have to carry extra sweaters for them. As a matter of fact, I can have a child in each sleeve, and my husband and I will just share the sweater.

And then I changed my mind


I bought 20 balls of yarn, and I started to make a blanket, but I changed my mind after a strange kitchen accident pulled out tons of stitches. I simply adjusted my 'creative vision', and now I am debuting a swanket.

After Dancing


After I do an interpretive dance, I loosely wrap this half of an afghan around my hips. It helps to keep me warm. I ate last Wednesday, I think.
Is it the ruffle that is so offensive? Or the use of "stash" yarn? Or the unnecessary use of a size 17 needle? Not sure.

Lost in the Highlands


I used to weigh 170, but I've been lost in the Scottish Highlands for the last 13 days. I walked my chest off. I am just looking for a sandwich.

Welcome


Welcome to a wild and wooly ride.

The first post will be gentle. Just a misunderstanding really.
But there are several questions.
Roses?
Over the hips and down the thigh?
Three quarter length sleeves? (Does that balance out the proportions? No.
The beads scattered about on the right breast?
You might be guessing that this was pulled out of a file from the 80's. But actually its from all the way back to 2006.
But when they started knitting it, it must have been the 80's. They just finished in time for the photo shoot.
