The Return of the Grumpy Knitwear Model

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

The people are real. The cases are real. The rulings are final. This is Fast-Topic-Changing Friday!

If you didn’t get that, it only means that you don’t watch Judge Judy.

I added sleeves to this one, and used 2×2 ribbing instead of seed stitch.

The sweater is cute, but I had a tough time with the photo session.

Say it ain’t so.

It’s mostly Stacy’s fault, but I have STASH. And it’s growing.

I had better get knitting.

Not only do I love these bags, but I love seeing Melissa so passionate about what she’s doing. Her passion totally shows in her work. Go look!

I saw this one yesterday on his advice. Loved it.

btw…Ted Turner and your Movies Classics Channel? Yeah, you do me right.
