A Moment

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.

Yarn!

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

Frizz

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!
