A Coincidence Too Many...
Ever notice how sometimes your life starts paralleling others in strange, strange ways? For me, it seems my beloved Artisokka and I are having such coincidences.Item One: The Constant Call for Projects on the Same Needle Size
I have my Vanilla Swirl on 7s, which my Vogue tank originally called for. I ended up needing a pair of 8s, which had most recently been used for my FIRST FELT! bag (which I still owe y'all pics of) and the Reagan bag. Ribbing had to be done on 6s, which are currently in use on my design submission tank (which I am just about to start bust increases on the front for - PLEASE LET IT BE OVER SOON!!!)
My Bella companion tank will have to be done on 7s as well.
Item Two: Camoflage instead of an outfit
I ordered my yarn for the Vogue tank and got it a couple of days ago - it's Reynolds Saucy in 57, ordered instead of sold out 379 color. It arrived. Instead of being that nice, foresty green, it's a few shades darker into a more army green. It'll still make a luscious, sexy tank that will look good with a suit jacket, but now it's less likely to pop against the basic work blacks and will probably only be work with khakis and light jeans.
Item Three: Feelings of Irritation at the Outside World
The two of have recently been thrust into the current job environment. It is not a healthy one, and it makes me want to curl back up in the safety of the academic institution. Mmmm... warm...
Also, have I mentioned that she is the coolest person in the world? She loves 50's pinup ladies... and makes bags out of them. And then she sent me one. ::dies::
So, in case you couldn't read between the lines of this entry, I cast on for the Summer '04 Vogue Knits criss cross strap tank. Is very cute. Will kill my hands. Nothing but cotton to knit right now. Oh my aching wrists. The top also needs more shaping (only 2") and I'm taking a size in an inch to accomodate my almost on target figure.
I should finish my other three projects right now, especially since I'd like to submit one to Fall Knitty (deadline 7/15 and closing fast!). But you only turn 23 on a 23rd once. Happy belated birthday to me! Yay!
