Knitty’s live! Whoo hoo! And it’s fabulous. Get my credit card, I need some yarn from the boys.
And Bethany’s rambling.
So I’m home. And I’ve posted (below) a little bit about the writer’s conference, which I’m glad I went to. Ending sentences with prepositions. No avenger am I…..
I’m also glad that:
I’m Finished Object Queen this weekend!
Well, only two FOs. But Suki’s felted, and I deserve a beer for that. Right? Maybe a martini. Yeah.
I give you the Before (of Suki and Cutes (aka Booga J. in Noro Kureyon #88)):
And After:
And here’s Cutes all fixed up and ready to go.
I have to admit when I started this project, I thought it was going to be closer to Suki’s size. So I was surprised when it turned up all small and cute-ified like this. The opposite of Suki which I must have done wrong (and I knit large, also). This is how I dried it halfway:
This is a TREE STUMP that the cats sit on in my mom’s backyard. It didn’t quite dry, so I put it on passenger seat in the convertible on the hot drive home today. I mean ON the seat – over the headrest and down about half-way. One man almost crashed trying to figure out how I got Dr. Suess in my car. No photos, alas.
And also, I finished LoTech Sweat! Bonne Marie can do no wrong, in my mind.
I love it. Adore it. Lament my regrettable sewing skills, but hell. It’s cozy and comfy (just Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton – color Maize) and I’ve already impressed my folks and two friends with it. Whoo hoo!
Now I’m home, Digit growling with misunderstood happiness. About to work on some socks. Happy. How’re you?
Lo-tech sweat looks fabulous! And I love the cutie-sized cutes bag.
Three rockin’ FOs, my dear. I throw metal in your general direction.
LOVE the Suki and Cutes!! 🙂 Not at all because it’s color #88 or anything..hehe. I did mine in that too. Finished Objects are wonderful things aren’t they?
…I’m SO glad to know that someone else uses Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton…sometimes I feel like I’m in the wrong knitting neighborhood, with all the fancy yarn people use!
Damn girl, you’re a Finishing Queen! And here I sit, surrounded by millions of unfinished projects, feeling a bit like the Empress of the Island of Misfit Objects. At least they’re not alive (I think). You have inspired me to get off my toches and get my knit on. Dr. Suess Suki: hee!
I really love your Suki bag Rachael. Look at you go… you’re putting all of us knitting procrastinators to shame! And Baby Booga looks divine.
Wow! All those finished objects – impressive. I am itching to start a Suki and a Booga here; I have a few other things that must come first. I almost peed my pants at the “Dr. Suess reference”! HA! The LoTech Sweat is terrific. You rock.
Theodore Geisel would be oh so proud of you, my dear…
Please put on the Finished Objects tiara and do the WAVE!
The lo tech is fabulous…that might have to be my next…
oh wait I still have forty seven thousand things I want to knit….ACK!
So glad you are back, tell Digit hello from the meowsers (Queen Sara and her sidekick Snowbell 🙂
Super cute bags!
Finishing ROCKS, which means you are rocking harder than anyone at the moment! (Take that, Ronnie James Dio!) Way to go, Rachael. Two martinis for the lady!
You are too cute in that Lo Tech Sweat! Just adorable. Good job!
I’m just getting caught up here.
A. You’re adorable (I love the pic of you in your beautious new Maize sweat –and what a great colour).
B. I forgot what I was going to say.
