Uh, Hi

In case you hadn't guessed... I'm still camera free. Well sorta. Somewhere there's another camera and our video camera takes stills. However, that smells like work... and we know how I feel about that.

So a quicky update. Ya, uh, Fawne is officially in a plastic bag and pointedly being ignored (I did refrain from flipping it off... which I think shows remarkable restrain on my part). However, I haven't given up hope... yet.

Instead I'm trying to finish a birthday gift for Matt. Um, do you remember this sweater?

oh ya, I'm using a recycled photo for blog interest purposes!! That sweater has been in production for 8 years (if I were still a production coordinator, I would blame the author for not getting proofs back to me). I don't really dig knitting fair isle and someone went and lost a whole bunch of weight after I had cast it on. So it had to be restarted. I originally started with the 53" finished size, then I restarted it with the smallest size: 44". Ya, it's probably still too large, but he'll have to deal with it.

Anyway, we discussed his upcoming birthday, and this is all he asked for. He wants this sweater done (as he loves it). So the body is done (obviously) and I have one sleeve just about done. I'll finish that sleeve today. Maybe even get the second one cast on. However... it's going to be warm today and wool and hot muggy weather don't always mix.

    That sweater's amazing! I don't suppose I can put in a cheeky request for the pattern (or ask where you might find it)? My email's aliceinwonderland1986@hotmail.com
