New Knitting Content!!!! (And a FO, to boot!)
Yes, I know you are all shocked by that. I'll bet you were thinking I didn't even know how to finish something.
Well, I do. So there.
Here's my Calla, from Magknits. I had actually planned to make these straps wider, or perhaps turn the thing into a boatneck shell, since I am not crazy about the whole showing-of-the-bra-straps-look. But, I guess I just spaced it or something. So, as I was casting off the second piece, I was like "Oh yeah..."
Anyway, I decided to just go the tank-top way, rather than rip out and reknit. Honestly, I had worries about whether it would look okay over my boobage. So I thought this might end up as a gift for someone.
But then, I finished it, and tried it on. And said, "Give it away? Oh, screw that! I'll just wear it under a jacket!" I wore it to work today (That's why I look so tired and used up in the pictures. This is taken at the end of the day.) and got a few compliments.
And T is happy that I have moved one project off the UFO mound in the living room. (Even though he surely realizes I have been steadily increasing my stash the whole while!)
Speaking of that...
Got this whole box at a garage sale last weekend. I don't know if you can tell, but this is a copy paper case filled with yarn. Yeah, most of it is acrylic. But the whole box was $3, and I have plans for acrylic yarn.
Gabgab has plans too, I think.
In other news, I have been working steadily on my film and hope to be able to show you some stills soon.
