TAKING BACK [THE KNIT]

Like every other freakin' knitter on craftster, I made a panta. I like it but it is really almost too wide for my head. It's not that I have a small head- quite the contrary actually. I just like thinner headbands. But I do like it. I wore it to dinner just now even thought it didn't match what I am wearing in the slightest. Pictures:

Try not to mind that I have absolutely no make-up on. I am way too busy doing important things like knitting, lurking, and posting here to put make-up on just to go to school. However, if I am going to a show, or partying, I will have on roughly 14 pounds of make-up on. Counting lipstick, it's more like 18 lbs. kidding.

In other knitting news, I made the "Letter Have It " purse from SnBN but felted it longer than I should have and it's a third the size that I had wanted it to be. It is cute for a smaller purse, but my optimum purse borders on suitcase-sized. I have enough of the yarn to re-do it and see what happens. I think my washing machine might be a little too good a felting, hahaha! I have heard all these places that people have to run things through 3 or 4 cycles and stuff always felts halfway through a cycle in my washer. Anyway, I liked that the bag was a quick knit and fairly simple. Okay, it was boring which is why I am waiting a little to re-do it. I have pictures but they are on my sis's camera, so they will be here next time.

In addition to all that, I am also onto sleeve #2 for Mariah. I really confused myself for a while, and thought the directions were really unclear, and then I read through and realized that the make sense if you read the whole thing. I wish I could do at least part of it in the round to eliminate some seaming. But I do like the garter stitch edges, and I am really good at seaming garter. So that is a definite plus. But I am getting a little bored with it.

That boredom is the reason I started a scarf for one of my friends in red Microspun (sooooooo soft! I love it!) that is a stockinette panel with lace on the edge. I don't think I've done much lace since Lelah, and I had forgotten how much fun it is! And when I was at the craftstore getting yarn for that, I got some Sugar and Cream in red to attempt a bathing suit. Something tells me it might not go to well, but I plan to line it and I have read craftster posts of people who have done the same. We'll see how it goes, eh?
