A Knitted Frenzy

Moving Day!!!

I'm moving this shindig over here.  Bookmark me.  :)

Check out the new digs and help me figure out how to clean up the import mess!

Muchas gracias!

Hooray for Boobies!

A relative was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.  Immediately upon hearing the news, I knew I had to make the Boobie Scarf for her.  My last knitty SP, faerynuff, sent me skeins of Debbie Bliss Aran Tweed in two gorgeous pinks - the exact yarn that's called for in the pattern!  Knitting this has given me immense pleasure and sporadic fits of the giggles:

With nips and everything!  :)

Perfect Summer Green

What a fast knit this was. 

Please ignore my obvious lack of photostyling.... I had no idea my black bra would show through so much.

Pattern: Ballet Camisole from Magknits
Yarn: Knitpicks Shine in Grass
Timeline: Started and finished in the month of July

Thoughts on project:  I loved that this was knit in the round.  I love the shaping.  I love the yarn.  I hate my crocheting around the neck and armhole edges.  I wasn't too sure about the fit until I blocked the hell out of it.  I am short-waisted.  So for me not to look like I have legs up to my neck (and a protruding tummy), I wear my tops long for balance.  I knew this about myself going into the project and knew I should add an inch or two to the length - and didn't. I followed the pattern to the 'T'.  So I gave blocking the benefit of the doubt and I think the length is good now.  The pants in the pic are considerably low waisted and the top still works.  (Sorry for the headless photo - I just got home from work and had horrid hair.  I was only thinking of getting the pic done for this post.  :D )
