Are you snoozing too?

Sorry for the lack of updates, I seem to be in one of my phases where I don't even want to knit. Feels like too much effort or something. And I haven't been spinning because my wheel needs repair (hee Cibo Matto reference!) and I haven't gotten around to mailing it back to the manufacturers, even when they told me to... a month ago.

Yeah, knitting slump. Happens.

Boobs!

So, I made a boobholder.



Pattern is, of course, from Glampyre. Yarn is Reynolds Saucy Cotton (remnants from Criss Cross tank).

Now that it's done, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. Since I have some serious arm flab, I didn't modify the pattern to have unpoofy arms, but I've got about an inch too much fabric so it bunches a little.

And, of course, I managed to bind off the sleeves too tightly so it's slightly uncomfortable and put the buttonhole on the left side and the button on the right.

The button is something that I picked up for $1 at Maryland Sheep & Wool. It's triangular beach glass with a couple of holes punched into it. Blends beautifully with the fabric.

This should help keep me warm with the chilly weather coming up. Not in DC, of course. I'm actually going to London for a week starting next Friday. You know what that means, of course. Yarn. Lots of it. Maybe not lots. But some.

No, I won't bring you back any.
