Hey all. I know I haven't been updating, well, at all really. There's a few reasons for this: First, I've been really hard at work for my parents company Bridge Records Inc,. I've been focusing a lot on helping them and that's distracted me from having time to update my little slice of the internet.
Second, I've been knitting so much! I've been making so many hats, scarves, and blankets that I haven't had any time to update!
This brings me to my most recent project. I finally finished my first real wearable garment. Sure, I've made hats and things for people, but nothing that I was ever THAT proud of(okay maybe my Storm Trooper beanie). A few weeks ago, I finally finished my first real GARMENT. I've been working on it for well over a year. It was originally supposed to be a Christmas, then birthday, then Valentines day present for my boyfriend.
This sweater vest was lovingly made with Karabella Aurora Merino Wool Yarn. It's a pretty basic construction, just stockinette stitch throughout with 2x2 ribbing at the hips, armholes, and collar. I love it. I cannot wait to make more. My new project is a cardigan for my friend Melissa. I think after that one I'm going to take a break from adult garments and focus on babies for a bit. I like seeing my results quickly.
And I leave you with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nYbKipNtac
