Finally, a Legit Update!

Yup! So here it is. Two works in progress; unfortunately, none of them are very fascinating.

Zoidberg from Futurama! Well, a future Dr. Zoidberg. Obviously I have to add tentacles and eyes and all that good stuff, but he should be finished by tomorrow. Hopefully. [x] [x] And hmm that's supposed to be red - a bright cherry red of Cascade 220 Quatro. Ah well.


And another Whisper Cardi, designed by Hannah Fettig and featured in Interweave Knits Spring 2009 catalog. Finished the first sleeve and working the back. Such an interesting design; you work a sleeve, bind off a few stitches and work flat for around 22", then cast on those stitches you bound off earlier and continue knitting the second sleeve. Then you bind all stitches off and pick up stitches along the straight stretch and knit downwards.


Whisper is out of a big cone of yarn the boyfriend got me for only FIVE DOLLARS from That Yarn Store. I love all the little nubbs in it - plus that sweet strawberry color makes me want to hug it. Oh and it's wool. Laceweight merino wool. The sticker inside the cone has "7320" on it; I wonder if that's how many yards it has.

New Resolves

It's summer, and having graduated from high school recently, I've decided to add posts every Wednesday, REGARDLESS of whether or not I have nothing to show for myself. If anything, it'll add some consistency to the blog and my life, and hopefully even get me motivated to knit some more. Next post: Wednesday, July 28th!
