Adam has the camera with him in Las Vegas, so I really don't have any great photos to show. I've snapped pictures here and there with my phonecam to document some progress, but will wait for the camera to return (or when I will meet Adam in Vegas, tomorrow) to take final pictures.
I finished the Fiery Bolero, at last. Though it's rather shorter than intended, I quite like it. What do you think? I still need to block it a bit, but could not resist trying it on and snapping a picture right away. The ribbon yarn has a very crisp texture and the garment drapes very well. I don't know how many times I thought I'd completely ruined the piece with all the modifications I made... But, I'm very glad that I did not frog it. (I've had such bad luck with this yarn... must have frogged at least two other projects using it.) I will post my project notes for it as soon as I have some worthy pictures.
My Kitty Couture™ Blush pattern is still in the works. I need to redraw some schematics and rework some instructions. But, I hope to have that up by next week.
Do you remember the Bikini Top I started in early February and finished in two days but never seamed together? Well. My goal is to get it seamed so that I can wear it in Vegas. While Adam is there for a couple of computer security conferences, I don't plan to do much--just relax by the pool. Knit. Read. So, if the seaming goes as planned, I will post a mini project notes... super-mini-project that it was.
Meanwhile, I've just now cast-on for a new project: the Garter Stitch Wrap Top from Simple Knits for Cherished Babies, by Erika Knight. I'm modifying it to be a cropped top (gosh, when don't I *crop* garments, these days?)
Why the rush? My cousin just informed me that her aunt went into labor last night. I thought I had another month, at least, to knit something... But, this is great because I really could not decide what to make--there's so much to choose from for baby girls! And, now, this wrap top seems perfect with the pink Filatura di Crosa Millefili Fine cotton yarn I've had lying around for ages. Well, with it's modified cropped-ness, I should finish this today. Yet another project notes to be posted soon, perhaps??
^_^
