ok! ok! knitty pictures.
boy, have i missed knitting! i have been knitting the blue alpaca sock on my lunch break at work but that's just 15 min. at the most. then yesterday i got about 3/4ths the way thru the heel flap on the way to MOSI... so it's coming along. but otherwise all my "would be" knitting time has been going to hand sewing tiny ass stitches to hold the ribbon on my baby sweater. time consuming, my poops!
but i offered up pictures and then took the offer back and got reprimanded for that little trick... so here are pictures of it... mostly all finished. it still needs buttons sewn on... the ones i picked out for it ended up being way too big. but i just got back from walmart and picked out new ones...
onward pictures, ho!
whole thing... totally done.
why the heck not? here it is inside out... you can see where all the ribbon goes. you cant see them here, nor can my crappy camera capture them... but imagine... TEENY STITCHES!
oh wait! you CAN see the teeny stitches!! (btw, color TOTALLY off here... but dang if it IS in focus!)
here's the hood.... i kitchie stitched ALLLLLL that.... it was like 55 sts on each needle. ahem. i will accept my award now. I think the reason you can see a seam tho is because i tighten it up TOO tight. OH WELL. lol
the raglan seams.... i jacked them up goooooood the first time i was starting to stitch them up. but i was seaming from the purl side... oh well... cant remember EVERYthing... that's why we keep the books around. :D
i labled this one as being the true color... but the more i look at it...it's too blue ... now i think that the first pic is the closest to the real color.... just imagine hunter green... that's what it is.
and this is a bad scan of the buttons i just picked up.... they dont do them any justice. damn!
i'm leaning toward the bottom buttons.... but really it will be which ever fits thru the button holes.
ok... there you have it... how cute is it?? i have a skien and a bit of another left over... i think i am going to knit up a baby hat to send with it.... because i dont want this yarn to be hanging around. however i do have left over ribbon. i really liked it alot.
i guess i should update this thing!!
i finally finished the pair of pedicure jaywalkers and sent them off to jeNN so i started a baby sweater for a friend of mine. i promised her a baby sweater if she gave birth to that baby on my birthday (jan. 23) and danged if she didn't!! so baby sweater for a cute little boy named nathan.
however i have never really knitted a garment before... not where you do the sleeves and everything all seperately, so of course i am stuck! it's the daisy sweater on knitty.com. here it is as it stands now:
i also have half of a sleeve done too... but i got stuck on the shaping of the left front. i emailed the yarn harlot about it but i guess she takes the weekends off ... which is totally fine... i just took the needles out of it and started the sleeve. then today i got bored of the sleeve and took the same needles back out of that and started a new project!
which i cant talk about because it's for amy! so there's another hint! your xmas prezzie is using the only sz 7 needles i own! :D
this is probably closer to the yarn color... maybe a bit darker.
so that's what i am knitting now... well what i am stuck on anyways. hopefully the harlot will email me tomorrow. if she doesn't, i have decided that i will just sew it up and send if off with a gaping hole where the left neck shaping should be. (just kidding!)
