I'm In Love!

By mere chance and accident, I came across the new Knitty, well fall Knitty. I never pay attention of when it comes out, but I've seen it and am in love. Look at this! Isn't it great. There aren't many patterns from Knitty that I would consider me, but I would wear this one all the time. It would totally go with my other rockabilly clothes and heels...if it came out properly done like the models! Also, I fell in love with Sherwood. My boy would look perfect in that. I invision it, which means I shall make it. It is advertised as piquant, which I assume means diffucult, but I think I can do it since I have finally learned how to read a chart.
P.S. Happy B-day Old Ball and Chain!

Oh, and just so you know...

I finished both sides of SWDR. I would have given up on this already if it hadn't been for chunky yarn and big needles knitting this up so quick. It still seems really short. I admit that I haven't ever stretch-blocked before and maybe it works wonders. I ripped one side of SWDR down to the armhole shaping and tried to figure out a way to lengthen the piece, but since the diagonals are all the same amount of stitched inbetween, I can't. I've also thought about using larger needles, since my gauge is possible off. So, first I will stretch-block one-half of the sweater, and see the results befor making any further rash decisions.

Hey Ma! When are you goin' to finish my pants!?!

Okay, you started them months before I was born, then finally seamed them together on my due date- luckily I was born 4 days later!
So get your act together and finish them already! By the time you get around to it, I won't fit in them anymore!
Sew in those loose ends!



Finish the orange stitching!
And for goodness sake, put some elastic in the waist so I don't blush when the pants drop and my diaper gets exposed!
