So. I've been lacking in progress on my fancy shmancy bolero, but my boyfriend's sister is in town visiting and our days have been packed with activity. we went on a long bike ride today in the hot humidity that is Madison right now, followed by frisbee and a cook out with my friends...
Anyways, we are on our way to play some poker and pool after our wonderful Vietnamese dinner. I have to make a real update soon- and I have a tag to answer to! Be back soon.

I just got my yarn order from CucumberpatchUK on Ebay. Great deals I tell you. I'm going to make a hat with the white yarn, and maybe another hat with the beige (they are cashmerino aran and cotton angora respectively). And the big pack of 10 is cotton cashmere- which I ordered to make a very nice bolero.

Here's the bolero- it's a pattern from the spring
Vogue Knitting

I am making progress. I've had a very relaxing two days to sit around and knit, but I work a lot next week so I should get as much done as possible now... So off I go

I have something to show! yayayaya!
The other day when I was itching for something to do, I went to Stefanie's website and bought her latest creation, the One Skein Wonder...
It's a great, easy pattern that used up the remaining yarn I had from Lelah (which is still missing a ribbon...). It used a little over one skein of Rowan All Seasons Cotton, in Slick. I did the size for 14 inches across the back, and I love it. Here it is:


I wore it out the other night and got a few funny-what-is-that-thing-you're-wearing looks. But they'll be ok. It's super soft, and now I want to make more! I'm off to read some blogs- later.

OH MY GOD IT'S BEEN SO LONG
So I haven't updated in forever.... I'm sorry. I kept thinking that I would go get a ribbon for both lelah and ultra femme soon, but I never got around to it. I just finished lelah- so here's both of the new FO's!


EDIT: I used Bernat acrylic yarn with Katia Soft (mohair blend) for Ultra Femme. And for Lelah I used Rowan All Seasons Cotton in Slick (great ebay buy!)
Yeah, you can see my bra a little in this one... I really wanted to take a picture outside cause my camera's flash is funny, but I can do that this weekend. What color ribbons should I get?? hmm...
Right now I'm in between projects so I'm looking for something new to start. I think I'll do the Teva Durham pullover from Interweave Knits, but I don't know if I can get that much yarn right now.
Until next time!
