Let's Get Twig Faced

A few weeks ago, Nancy and I decided to have a KAL for Twiggy. Progress, as usual for me, is slow. Mostly, that is due to the fact that I've been working on more portable objects like the lace ribbon scarf. Also, Twiggy has gotten heavy. My wrists start to get sore after a few rows. So far for Twiggy, I have the body up to the arm pits. I need to start the sleeves and I'm having second thoughts on my choice in size. Should I have knit the small? Will I run out of yarn?

We can only tell by knitting on.



In all honesty, the Twiggy update was just a ruse for me to post pictures of our feline in residence, Face. He shows interest in what I'm doing even though I suspect that he is only interested for selfish reasons.

Paternity Issues: Solved!

T his is not knitting related in the least, but I find the following pictures too hilarious to keep to myself.



Me + fake 'stache = my dad + 1989ish



This leaves us with the question of why we use DNA and genetic testing to determine likelihood of paternity when a dime-store mustache is just as accurate.

Best Friend Cardigan is Finished!

I sewed the buttons on today. The only other thing to do is block it and wear it. While, I know I should block it, blocking seems like a pain in my butt right now. As for wearing it, let's just say that it's 85 degrees outside and this sweater is WARM!



Seriously, I almost passed out from the heat while posing for the pictures.

All in all, this cardigan, while being a huge pain in the butt, taught me much about sweater construction and finishing. Since I had recalculated specs to fit my gauge, I had a lot of math to do. Sometimes, I did the math wrong and ended up with something no so workable. This was a good project to learn how to attach sleeves and do all the finishing since the extra bulky yarn and stretchy construction hid all of the flaws that resulted from my inexperience.
