On the Catwalk

I'm way ahead on fixing projects for the Olympics Challenge. Granted, the Beatrice was a "cheat fix", as I decided to just go ahead and frog it (and it has been frogged). Meanwhile, let's look at what was fixed:

Gedifra is Fixed!

The Gedifra pullover looks so much better! The turtleneck was the way to go. The original pattern had you continue the spine cable up the neckband, then fold it over and sew it down. Did not look good on Matt at all (we both laughed when he tried it on). I tried a simple st. st. rolled collar, but it looked unfinished. So I ripped that off and just did a 2X2 ribbed fold over turtleneck. Yay! giving this a thumbs up now!

The other thing he specifically asked to be fixed was his Bad Ass Biker Skully. It wasn't long enough to cover his ears, so I did that as well:

This was to be used under his bike helmet in colder weather, but the Cascade 220 wasn't the right choice, so he uses it in the morning to walk the dogs.

Since he was willing to model for me today, let's get some other recently finished projects modeled:

Still one of my favorite patterns (must make me an other one!) and yet an other fab use for Cascade 220 (and yes Kate, apart from running my vacuum cleaner, I don't think there's anything Cascade 220 can't do). I do think the tee shirt makes it!

Ya, I really can't say enough about this sweater. I so enjoyed knitting it... and how fab does Matt look in it? So fab, let's show an other view:

Okay, that's it for photos for today! I'm mostly concentrating on Cassidy right now (and the Adara bag sale purchase arrived on Friday, so I'm "swatching" for yet an other Ribby). I still have the zipper to sew in my first Ribby, and I think I'm going to start fixing "in progress" projects next. Things that are stalled due to an issue... I'll keep ya updated!
