NOT! Spring Knitting, or trying to finish up a few items. Not much for blogging this month, and I promise there will be less in April, ... and May,.... and... we'll see. It seems a busy time for me, and I would rather be... outside knitting!
Funny story: Years ago I saw this beautiful tee at Yarn (Durango), hanging there on a stick or something, catching the light just so that it called out, "Touch me, and you'll be forever mine." I touched, and it has been mine, forever, or at least for almost FIVE years. I felt the luxury of bamboo, and I bought the yarn and pattern in the summer of 2008. I knitted it up in a flash, but never found the right buttons for the front tab. Instead I found stupid buttons, and I wore it. I loved the feel, but it didn't love my figure back, so I put it away. I should have just handed it over to my daughter, who would look gorgeous in it, and have replaced the buttons with something stunning, ... but I didn't. It languished in my closet, on a shelf. Then THREE years ago, I decided that was silly. I'll make something else, like a little dress for my Juju. I frogged some of it, and used extra balls and completed my little dress. And it stretched like crazy! I don't know if that little dress ever got worn, but then a few years later, I looked at the cannibalized tee and decided I wanted it again. All I had left was the boring stockinette of the body. (Top down = exciting start, boring finish) A few weeks ago, I decided to "JUST DO IT", and now I have... a finished tee, NO buttons, and it might be a bit short, but maybe someone with an attractive belly button will wear it. It still feels YUMMY soft.
