I am SO close to being done with Victoria. I am thinking I need to tear out the neck and do it again. I picked up too many stitches and now its a little bit wobbly. No good. I'm determined to do this right instead of getting sick of the "finishing" and then never wearing it. So I'm also going to re-sew the sides. The way I did them, they bulge a little at the patterned portion.... it just so happens that is also the "love handle" region. I'd like not to look like I am larger than I am. I'm also pissed at myself for chosing Cascade to do this project. I'll elaborate when I have the "real" FO pictures up.
Anyway, here are some pictures:
I have a ton of FOs in the works other than Vicky. My friends had a baby last Sunday and I was totally unprepared... knitting wise. So here's what we've got on the needles for her:
I am working off of the pattern in Last Minute Knitting Gifts, but making them look like True Religions. Mommy is very stylish. (: And every baby needs a pair of designer denim, right?
These two projects are out of the book Easy Baby Knits by Claire Montgomerie. The mitts are supposed to be garter stitch. I hate garter stitch. The I-cord was also not a part of the pattern, but I figured that they are 90% likely to get lost due to the size and fact that they are on an infant. So I thought the I-cord might increase their likelihood of sticking around for more than one week.
Okay, I really need to get to Loopy for some buttons. Less than a week until election day! Happy voting!!!
