Knitting News

Whats going on on the knitting front over here at SillyLittleLady?  Lots 'o' stuff!

I'm finished with the knitting part of the collaboration with lylianmae and am writing up the final draft of the pattern, although I still need a name for it...

I'm trucking away on the Max Suit (click here to see the process), finished one leg, now working on the other, the end is coming closer and closer with every stitch and I can't wait to see what it looks like finished!

I'm also designing and working up another pattern, this time a cute little cardigan but I don't want to give away too many details.  Let's just say, it uses these materials ;)

Oh, and of course there is always that secret knitting that I worked on in Paris that I can't tell you about yet, but someday my good readers! Someday!

War Zones and Knitting Projects

As I walking around campus this morning the ground looked like a cockroach battle field. Seriously. They must have used some kind of insane pesticide because the sidewalks looked like there was some type of epic battle between the roaches.

In other news, I finally received the yarn in the mail yesterday that I am using to make my friend Heather a slouchy beanie out of. She is leaving for Washington on Saturday and I want to have the beanie done by Friday so she can take it with her. I am using Olympic by NY Yarns, it is 70% acrylic and 30% wool so it should keep her nice a warm all year long. It has a very nice single ply texture and looks more "rustic" than most commercial yarns. As it is my first time using this yarn I'm trying to be very conscientious about what I like and dislike about it.

Also, I recently changed the profile picture over thereish ---> down a ways probably...but what do you think? Or do you like the eyes better?
