ah... a summer update!

It's been a while since I posted, but this has more to do with finishing my master's than anything else. And I have still been crafting. Oh yes, yes indeed. Here's some proof!!

Here's the beginnings of a rockstar blanket for Sharyn. I warned her that it won't be done until at least next winter, but it's very fun to knit! Simple feather and fan pattern, with a bit of FIZZ. It's very soft.

This was the beginning of Honeymoon. In this picture you can actually tell that it's burgundy.

Here it is done! Modelled by me (in the dark), so excuse the not-so-lovely images. First the sexy pose:

And the back view (notice it's actually the exact same shaping as the front? Tricky- no wrong or right side):

I knit the Honeymoon in Tahki Cotton Classic... either 4 balls or 5! I know I have one left over, but don't remember how many I bought. I love the burgundy against my skin.

There's also a crazy kid hat, in my size. Someday I'll weave in all the ends and post pictures of that as well! I'm also only 8 repeats from the end of the purple baby blanket that never ends. I'm hoping to finish it (gasp) before I move. I also finished Mike's sweater, but I'm not going to post pictures of that until after I give it to him. And propose or something. :-p

That's all for tonight, move along!
