Knit-o-rama!
Yesterday I wove in ends on Branching Out from Knitty. It’ll still need to be blocked. Blocking will give it a little length, but it’s meant to be shortish. However, the person it’s going to is also short, so it all works out just fine. Will post pics when it’s been blocked to its final glory.
In an effort to get a little of my hat-knitter cred back, I worked on Shedir (also from Knitty) and have started the decreases for the crown. This is a great pattern. It’s not exactly mindless knitting, at least for me, but it does only use one ball of Rowan Calmer, and it feels very soft and springy. It’s designed as a chemo cap, but my only friend in chemo no longer needs a scalp-hugger. Now, see,
I may finish this hat tonight, and start back up with commission work tomorrow. The Sci-Fi network is running a Firefly marathon on Monday, Sept 18th, which may mean a little uptick in orders. Got to be fresh for more Jayney goodness!
Shedir looks wonderful and cushy! Maybe I’ll make one out of Calmer for myself 😀

I could always shave my head again. I’m not THAT crazy about how it’s growing out, after all. I’m finally deciding I don’t like being grey, even though the white part is really cool, and I’m not nuts about the top being straight while the back and sides are curling. What say I start over and take the Magic Markers to it when it begins to grow again?

Shedir is the kind of hat that makes me wish I could wear knit caps without looking homelesss…

Wear the hat and hold an empty coffee cup in front of you when you go out. It could be a money-making proposition!

Note to self: Pick up fruit-scented fluorescent markers, RE: scaredkat’s birthday.

I was very skeptical of Calmer from just reading about the fiber content. Then I picked up a ball and squeezed it, and I was hooked!

Yet again, the pissed-off cat in the cowboy hat proves to be a GENIUS!!

Stupid bloglines didn’t alert me to this post yesterday. Bah.
Branching out looks great! Bring it tonight so I can see it upclose – if it’s ready.
I’ll have to set my DVR for the marathon. I do need to watch it. Don’t let me forget!
