Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

Here's some stuff I'm especially proud of.

Check out the cool cuff I made for my hourglass sweater sleeve:
I used the fold-over technique from the MagKnits Nothin' but a T-Shirt pattern, which was recommended by Deena on the knitalong page, but I don't think she has a website... Anyway, it looks super cool and finished. Too bad it's twice as big as it needs to be, and I need to start all over. Yes, ALL over. Including the entire sweater body that I had completed. There was a little intervention at last week's Lake Forest Park Knitters meeting. The girls convinced me that it was going to be too big. And that cinching the cuffs with ribbon for the Robin Hood look was NOT cool. I cheered myself up by making a big ol' knot in the lavender Venue yarn as I tried to wind it into a ball. Why is it that everything goes smoothly for the first 90% of a skein, then all hell breaks loose in the final 10%?
I also did a little tough love with my dying aloe plant. Looks like a botanical snuff film, what with all the oozing.
