I don't really have much info to put into it cos I have a tendency to not work on more than three projects at a time... and I don't have the space in my unit for a huge yarn stash, but I am finding it fun to add flickr photo's and tally my progress. Its a great way to waste time at work... its like facebook for knitters!!

So last night hubby was at poker (he does the pub poker circuit in our area during the week) so I wasn't able to get him to take a photo of me in my shrug - which i wore to work yesterday and it survived the 30ish degree day! YAY! - so I tried somewhat successfully to take a picture of myself by holding the (HEAVY) camera out and praying that it got me. My face was so ludicrous that I HAD to crop it out:



The only thing that's wrong with it - there's always SOMETHING I do wrong - is that I've picked up more stitches around one front corner than I have the other. So the right side is a little snug around my boobage and has a tendency to slip off, while the left side is a lot looser and just sits there quite nicely.... :( its a bit of a bummer cos it makes the front look lopsided plus its really annoying to have to keep pulling at the right side all the time. Oh well I think I'll wear it anyway, it was pretty hot yesterday and I didn't feel any hotter than normal wearing it - so the bamboo & cotton combo is doing its job - yippee





Let me tell you all that stockinette was pretty boring!!

So now I'm working on a belt from the Noro Daria that my SP11 Buddie was kind enough to gift to me. The Daria is pretty odd to work with, its a nylon blend yarn that's kinda ropey. There aren't a lot of stitch patterns that would work well with this yarn. Oh and get this I was looking on Ebay for this stuff once and one person said that this yarn would be great for a summery top... ARE YOU KIDDING ME! you couldn't knit this stuff into a top it would be horrible to wear as a garment! This stuff is only good for belts, bags and maybe a scarf but only a decorative scarf... don't count on this stuff to keep you warm!!



I want to see if I can get a buckle or a D ring to put on it.



In a moment of weakness I got bored with more endless stockinette and cast on for Calorimetry using the Patons SWS that was also gifted by my SP11 Buddie. I've only done about 2cm and started it after my photo spree so no piccies as yet... oh and I'm also using the straight needles that my Buddie got me too - its just a Buddie frenzy goin on round 'ere :)
