Swe - the first part of a sweater


Here is a really nice half a sweater. Excellent with a big tent dress. My steaming mug of Latte is bigger than the sweater.

Pirate's dream

A pirate's dream








sunken chest

Stitch count, needle sizes, gauge...it all went terribly wrong.

I worked out the stitch pattern, and it looked great. So I thought I'd work some buttons into it, and make a sweater. Cookie monster team colors. Woo hoo!

Ballarina

I am a dancer. I have worked my whole life to perfect my craft and my body. And now to highlight my dance, I have chosen this hand knit lower portion. It keeps me warm as I dance by the ocean. Nothing says "sculpted legs" like some pink/mauve fur, wouldn't you agree?

Pet Abuse



If you are going to make me wear a sweater, can I at least pick the color? I don't like teal. And we gotta get you out of those capris as well.

Tangled


I got a new ball winder for Christmas. It was working fine, for a while, and then this happened. I picked up the tangle form the floor, and I found there was a hole big enough for my head, and I pulled it on. It makes a perfect poncho.

Slippery Slope


Super cool, vintage fringed coat.

And here is something that just should not be done out of yarn.



And is it just me, or is there something proportionally wrong with the hips in this picture?

Mutton: Leg of...





For real? Black background with some strong color? Stripes? A bleach white stripe on the boobie? And then, three-quarter sleeves? Paired with ladies leather "driving gloves". Horizontal?
And the sleeve. A leg-of-mutton. Excellent. A strong "victorian era" design choice.
Christian on Project Runway would like the 80's back. And he can have them. All of them. I'll stick to my 90's!

Happy New Year



I got a hair cut to start the new year out clean. I love my monochromatic thing I have going here, my poncho, my scarf and my turtle neck are all looking rather green-ish. Big needles. Big fun.
