Friends Again
Friday, December 28th, 2007It’s a fast-topic-changing Friday, but first, a story with a happy ending.
You may have gleaned the fact that I have been fighting with Anne Boleyn (my headless knitwear stunt-double). I was offended by how she was keeping her bedroom in the new house, and when it came to fitting hand knits, she was failing me miserably.
But I realized the source of our problems. While I’ve been on The Divorce Diet, Anne has not. I have neglected her. Anne and I have since spent a little quality time with the tape measure, and we cleared things up. (She is adjustable.)
I should really stop calling it “The Divorce Diet”, and start calling it something more positive like “The Single Gal with an Active Social Life Diet”.

I would like to take this time to publicly apologize to Anne Boleyn.
From now on, I will try to be a better roommate. Proof that we are friends again. |

Here she is modeling my latest knit for myself…Basic Black from MagKnits.
Pretty color! Great fit! Ummm…not really… |
 |
This is the truth. It’s huge. In fact, everything I’ve knit for myself over the last several months fits like this. I’ve been using fancy photo-styling techniques to keep that fact a secret.
I’ve been knitting everything to fit Anne, and she and I were different sizes. Now that Anne and I are friends once again, this is the LAST ill-fitting sweater that I will knit. I declare it! Next…! |

Just because I haven’t been talking much about knitting on verypink doesn’t mean I haven’t been knitting.
Here is a baby dress I designed for The Knitting Nest, made with Babyboo bamboo/nylon yarn. I’m really happy with it! The free pattern will available soon here on verypink and at The Knitting Nest. Next…! |
 |
And another…
This is Vestee from knitty.com, knit with Fantasy by Dark Horse Yarns. I am NOT normally one who knits with synthetic fibers…but this is the NICEST acrylic yarn I’ve ever encountered. Next…! |
 |
Before… |
 |
…and after. A rug made a huge difference in my front room.
Little by little, I’m getting this place the way I want it. Next…! |
 |
Yeah, I know. I can hardly stand to live with all of this adorableness. It’s exhausting.
Have a great weekend! |
