Hookers N’ Junkies

what do you think? cute, eh?

I had my first successful felting experience this weekend. Unfourtunately, I made extra room for horizontal shrinkage, but no alterations were made for vertical shrinkage, so the garment didn’t work, but the felting sure did! I’m quite pleased. I used a needle that was 2X the recomended guage, and it turned out perfectly!

Other than that, I think for the next little while, I am going to focus on amigurumi. Make that mobile I’ve been thinking of. But I’ve also kicked around the idea of designing something of my own. I’m also on a desperate search for this pattern

So, I absolutely cannot knit lace while doing anything else. Like talking. Watching TV, listening to audiobooks, makin’ whoppie, etc. So, I need  a project I can do with what I have on hand that does not require so much concentration. This way at S&B I don’t have to be either:

a) Antisocial

or

b) unproductive

this comment has led me to imagine a photoshoot of me knitting while (ehem) busying myself with other *things*.

back on track, people! ok. so what will it be? Any ideas? please help me!

Not that i don’t like it, but I kind of screwed up on the increases a bit, so it’s misshapen. That’s Ok. at the moment, I’m going to finally use my cashmere, which is knitting up nicely into a cute lace pattern. I Quite like it. This is it’s inspiration:

It is my first attempt at knit lace, and I have to say it takes patience that I usually don’t have, but I’m glad I stuck through. It looks like ass until the very last minute when it all comes together, but it makes it hard to determine if you are on the right track or not. All in all, I’m ok though. It is sooooooooooo soft and nice and pretty and smells like silk

I need you to photograph yourself in the rainbow bright bikini so I can post it

I finished it at Stitch n Bitch, for those of you who did not notice It’s quite cute
