Less knitting, more blogging!

Yes, its been a crazy summer. We were invited to 6 wedding this summer. We only made it to 3. But saying you went to 3 weddings doesn't come close to capturing the craziness of it all. Bridal Showers! Stagette weekends! Engagement parties! Pedicure parties! Stag Caberettes! Yes, I said caberettes. I was a dancer.

Anyways, it was all awesome. I am exhausted and broke.

But on to the knitting!!

Here, kind readers, we have the Fad Classic from Knit and Tonic. Judging by the debris in the background (passport, Californian wines, Tony's backpack and clothes) I would say this was finished in around July-ish.
So, this guy was knitted in Knit Picks Shine Worsted. (If you will recall our internet shopping adventure of April 2007.) The yarn is a little bleh to me. Sure, its totally soft but is sure does have a halo to it and the colour is kind of greeny black, which tends to bug me. If it doesn't get more halo-y I will forgive its colour. Also, probably great for kids stuff but doesn't exactly make me look sultry and sleek. Hmmmm, perhaps that is not the fault of the yarn.

The actual pattern is quite nice. I'm not sure if it looks great on me but its too warm yet to really do a fashion show. I sure do love vests though, especially in November. I reserve the right to revisit this bad boy till a colder month to pass judgement.

There's more!

You will recall Knitting School.....

This is my work in progress. I missed the last class so I am hoping that I am going in the correct direction. I am thinking I might go up to 3 Bags Full and sit there and knit while my teacher is working. I need someone to hold my hand.

(Also, check out my new sheets! Yes Andrea, I actually bought myself some sheets and didn't just wait for mom's hand me downs. Anyways, they are the best sheets ever! Not to mention a good backdrop for knitting. Yeah, Winners!)



O.kay, that's enough blogging for tonight. I have knitting to do. Sadly, there is also laundry to fold. I have more knitting to show and tell but no more tonight. That is all. Andrea: I will try to be funnier next time.
