(No, you don't need glasses. That's just one heck of a fuzzy shot.)
Can you believe it? There is no possible way you could tell where that sucker is.
Ok, well, the color change gives it away, I 'spose. Ahem.
You have to wait until the lining is in to see a photo of the whole thing. Suffice it to say that it is awesome.
Knit club was good last night. It was just Linda and I, because Debi had a conflict and Amanda's husband is a putz. He's all like, "I need to work for a living," and stuff like that. Psh. Whatever, dude.
We only stayed until about 7:45 and then took off to deal with errands. I resisted the urge to swing through Half Price Books as I usually do because, oh my gosh, I have so many books right now it's out of control. And with the coming rennovations, it's time to cull, not augment. I actually have a swap going on right now if anyone is interested. A lot of it is vintage stuff, some is more recent. I have tons more, but it's all in storage and it was some of the first stuff I packed up, so I won't be able to get at it again until the house is done.
I picked up one of the cabeled bags I'm designing and got back to work on it yesterday. Only I noticed that I'd been twisting two of the cables the wrong way throughout. And I wasn't sure if, after this long, my guage would be consistant anyway, so I just frogged the 18 rows I'd done and started over. By the time I went to bed last night, I had finished a full 24 row repeat. Only then I noticed that I hadn't mirrored the cables properly on either side of the piece and so now, today, I'm going to be dropping stitches and recrossing cables. Oh, heavens. I just had to do this a few weeks ago and now I've made the same mistake again. At least this time I know what I'm doing so hopefully I can redo all 8 crosses in less than an hour. I think I'm being very ambitious, though, considering the fact that our yard is a massive mud puddle and I can't send the kids out to play. In fact, I think trying to knit at all today will be an excercise in futility.

What Sarah said. They are actually closed for new people right now but should be up in a week or so.
Your invisible seam is soooo invisible. :) You must show me how you did it. After all I am going to make a garment for me...one of these days.
You will never guess what time the putz got home last night. 8 o'clock. Yes, 8. I was POed!
Bah! They have frozen membership. And this blog isn't very old. But I will definitely keep an eye on them. Thanks!
Whatta putz!!
He owes you knit clips.
Nice seam, really nice.I usually try to knit in the round so I can avoid them.
