Remember this?

This was the start of my Abrazo Vest (pattern from Knitty.com) for the Ravelry Vestuary Knitting Group until I realized one serious thing.

Way back about two inches from the beginning, I was supposed to switch to stockinette stitch from the ribbing. So, today I ripped back to those two inches and reknit the vest.



I still like it but the change to stockinette stitch has caused the vest to grow quite a bit. Even though this is just under the bust line, it seems too wide. Tomorrow morning I will try it on and get the final look. Who knows, maybe I'll go down to the medium size.

Luckily, there was a lot of good late night television last night (The rise and fall of Rome) and tonight (Rattle and Hum) so I don't have to spend the day glued to my chair. Gluing my eyes open, maybe!

Blown away by Dorothy

This week I've been working on a Dorothy costume for Youngest Daughter's dance at school. As of now, the shoes have been spray painted red and are drying in the garage, the socks have been dyed blue and are drying downstairs and the dress is sewn. Why so stressed? I am going out of town in about an hour. Some of the adults are staying, some are going and nothing is packed. Augh. Also, YD gave me her cold so all I want to do is take a nap. So much for the winter sports!




I have been trying a new knitting option for me - knitting in bed before sleep. It's slow but at least I've been getting a row or two in before the cold medicine kicks in. Some one asked me if I'd recommend this vest pattern - well, so far, it's just fine. I'll let you know when I get to the neckline! I am glad I repurposed the yarn, however.

Also, on the yarn front, I've been stalking Sundara Yarn. Yet, every time I hit the site - all sold out. Bummer.

The entire time stream has been altered!

That's what happens when you sleep 1/2 a day away. I may go do it again right now.



Today's Saturday Seven was simply cleaning out the Youngest Child's drawers. Seven pairs of size 5 shorts - gone to the big Rummage Sale in the Sky.

And here's a little something to entertain you while I go dream about knitting - it's called

"Pardon me, I didn't knit that for you!"




Good Night!

I was just so sleepy!

Well, I was and that nap I took at 7 p.m. turned into a night's worth of sleep. I did wake up around midnight to take out my hair clip and brush my teeth. Just pretend it's still Friday, okay? I'll blog later, okay?



At lease my hobbies don't need feeding - although I would like a little black pug to sit on my lap while I was knitting!
