Doesn't my model look happy? Well, he wasn't.
So that's washed and dried and will get mailed and I can move onto some other projects in the works. Like the Cable O's Vest, right? Well, not much was done on it yesterday, I still have few more rows to go. Still think I can get it done this week? Oh well, there's still 19 knitting days until Christmas :grin:
Well, I tried to get some pictures of some of the other projects floating around, but they didn't photograph too well. I'll have to hook up the scanner.
I think the Am Kamin is definitely going to be knit in Paton's Classic Wool in Aubergine. I'll scan my swatch in tomorrow. I really really don't need to start an other project.
Speaking of starting an other project, my winter issue of Twists & Turns arrived yesterday. Wow. Wowie! I really love the Forest Frost Aran, but I don't think I'll be making it. It's a beauty to just read the directions and process, but I'm not sure I have the dedication to do it. The Audra's Redux, however, is just up my alley. I sort of have a anticipation/dread thing with the Twists & Turns Newsletter. I can't wait for it to arrive, yet I know that everytime it shows up, I'll want to start a new project.
So I'm going out today shopping and lunching, but I still think I can finish up the Cable O's front (hey, didn't I say that yesterday???). I probably shouldn't have started playing Psychonauts again (Tim Shafer is a genius!)
So I'll leave you with a picture of Jake and his prefered method of keeping warm.
(let me also say that this is new... Jake didn't want anything to do with Gena at all for the first 2 years. He's gotten so much better and a lot less territorial with her recently). Knitting pictures tomorrow! I promise!!!!
Tell Jake he looks tres distinguished modeling the sweater!
ReplyDeleteJake gets the same look as our beagle mix, Bentley. I had to laugh. He looks so pitiful! I have some left over fleece and you gave me an idea....I'll check if any of the shelters around here need blankets, beds or sweaters
ReplyDeleteThat's one handsome dog sweater! I guess it's good he doesn't like it, or you'd be busy knitting a whole wardrobe for two more members of the family. The Forest Frost aran is AMAZING. Different fronts and backs, oh lord. But beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKristen: yeah, I tried that, but he thinks au natural is the way to go!
ReplyDeleteTori: I'm not sure who is more pitiful when they're not happy (or want something), Jake or Gena. It's the hound thing, I guess. They certainly know how to pout.
Kate: I'm relieved as well, as I can't do all the things I want to do for just 2 of us! Yep, I enjoyed reading thru the Forest Frost pattern, but I just don't see myself having that level of concentration :)
