Craptastic Updates!

Blogger got tired of posting my pictures so I had to use Picasa for this post. Feh.

The top photo is yesterday's progress on the one piece cami-knicker set from the cover of Weldon's Pretty Undies. Pretend it's about six inches longer than the piece in the photo. I got that right after Thanksgiving from my PRGE pal BlackCrow along with the uber-snazzy Jumpers In Knitting and Crochet. This has added something like ten new things to my To-Do List and I'm not sure I'm at all pleased by it. New To-Do things means more yarn to either buy, steal, or spin. Right now I'm too broke to buy yarn and too lazy to steal or spin the stuff.

The cami-knickers are in vintage 1960's baby blue Nylo (nylon/wool blend). I'm not all that thrilled with the color and I may not even have enough to finish the top without resorting to knitting the top lace band in white Nylo and then top dying the whole thing, but I'm happy with the progress and potential fit. I really want to knit this in black silk. Oh yeah, hot stuff.

The mitten at the left is my one finished Body Count Mitten. I've got to spin up some more tan-ish wool for the second one. Since I finished the first mitt I've started about six new projects so it's been sitting around waiting for the mate to it. It's not exactly a happy mitten so I haven't been that excited about starting the other one but I should be at least casting on for it in a couple days anyhow.

I should be done by the time it gets cold enough to wear them here.
