My daily (or whenever) thoughts on a myriad of things that are important to me.

Rounding the Front

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

The right front of sonnet that is. This sweater is simple enough but goodness gracious…
Picture coming soon…
Knit knit knit knit….

Another Project? Crumpets…

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

If you haven’t seen Chiagu then you haven’t been tempted by the temptation that is Crumpets.
The moment I saw this toddler dress, I knew it must be Victoria’s. It simply must and without a doubt be done. Her birthday is in 27 days, soooo that means it’s do it now or […]

Personalized 3-D Hair

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

My 3-D model was finally ready on Tuesday. Hubby says it looks nothing like me, I think it looks pretty damn close, though they did lighten my dark circles…significantly.
So, here are a few styles that I’m playing around with…may I say just how strange it is to see yourself with […]

Sonnet Progress

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

It’s coming along nicely and I think my random stripes look pretty spiffy. Hubby thinks it’s going to wind up too short, but it’s the same length as my zippered hoodies so I think it will be fine for what it is… It’s not intended to be a loose baggy long comfy sweater. […]

Merry Christmas!

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

Oh, yea… I mean “Happy Easter”. Sorry the falling snow outside confuzzled me a great deal.
I made some good progress on Sonnet last night, but I need to rip back a bit, since where I added for the shoulder…makes the right side, the left. WHOOPS. Only a few rows, so that’s […]

Swatch Results

Good the yarn doesn’t bleed or run (my biggest worry).
The resulting size after washing on cold and drying on medium is:
4 1/2″ x 2″ (4.5 st/in x 6 r/in).
Original Specs: The swatch dimensions (so I don’t forget are) 4 5/8 x 2 1/8, 20 stitches x 18 rows […]

More projects…yay!

Saturday, March 26th, 2005

A trip to Far North yarn and suddenly I’ve got more projects… LOL
(I pulled my hamstring yesterday, so I’m resting/knitting today).
I bought some lovely Brown Sheep Company “Cotton Fleece” in Lime Light, Caribbean Sea and Cherry Moon to knit a Striped Sonnet. I was debating on the 3 colors when the […]

Thursday…

Thursday, March 24th, 2005

No brilliant titles from me today, I was out until 2 a.m. at a “Mary Kay” party. Yes, I WAS. Okay, granted the Mary Kay lady left at like 9, but we all stayed, that counts right? So we were still at the Mary Kay party right?
In any case, I bought some make-up […]
