Not for Lack of Trying


April 11, 2007



I thought I'd have the baby sweater pattern + tutorial ready today. I really, really did.

Yesterday was a busy day, but I managed to squeeze in a little knitting here and there. I swear, I gave it a helluva shot.
 
 
I knit here. Finished the hood, in fact.

Okay, there was some time wasted. This is photographic evidence of such.

Usually Ike is my happy little knitwear model, but Gus actually shoved Ike out of the way to get a chance to model this one. I am not kidding.
Here is the sweater from the back. Gus stretched out and wore the sweater without encouragement from me. Ike stood close by, wondering how he lost this modeling gig.

I suppose it's possible that we have the air conditioning set too cold, and Gus was just happy to find a way to warm up.
One last thing: At the risk of sounding like a paid advertisment, I want to share this band with you, because they are just SO GOOD. Good - not in a specialized, gotta-be-a-fan kind of a way...but in a widespread, everbody's-gonna-love-it way. They're called Pink Martini.

I have a couple of their CDs, but I found them on iTunes as well, so you can listen to a sample there if you're curious.



The sweater and pattern should really, really, really be finished by Friday. :)
