where my babies at?

well it only took me months to finish but HERE SHE IS! all pretty in violet and lime this here baby blanket is far from perfect but she is mine all the same. i learned a lot doing this project - how to add a stitch, pick up stitches, add trim, seam, join yarn, check the dye lot, etc...

but tada! done and done.

fall to pieces

The bag is officially finished.

Well... with the knitting portion anyway. And these are the pictures to prove it.

All that's left is sewing it together and lining it. (You can see the lining right over yonder, next to Oliver.)

That probably won't happen for a few days on account of being pretty super busy this weekend coming up. But I suspect by Monday afternoon/evening I'll have me a new market tote!

black beaufort hatty

so you wanna know what a friggin' rockstar looks like?

knit time: approximately 8 hours (total).  so i'm a slow starter but once i get going - woosh! once you learn the yarn over (which is incredibly easy - i'm just an idiot) this is a really fun and easy knit.  the only stressful part is switching to dpns to close her up - but that's true of any hat.  anyway - this is just a black version of the hat from below.  w00t!

also - please note the tshirt.  what wouldn't jesus do?
