FO Wednesday

Julissa is off the needles! I chose this project because I wanted to push myself a little (as well as recover ASAP from a froggy debacle). The cables and lace pattern is very well written but definitely not "potato-chip knitting". I'm so glad I did because the end result is, well, pretty darn awesome.  

I take a lot of these "smiling on the inside" photos. Taking photos of yourself is hard! meh.

I adjusted the sleeve length and bottom ribbing to accommodate my shorter frame.

I used magic loop for the sleeves. Fell in love with my Knitpicks nickel-plated babies again.

The Malabrigo is so cushy soft and after blocking (and even a whole lot of petting by me and the girls). I didn't notice any pilling at all.  

I could live in this sweater! Too bad I live in a season-less city now! I'm sure I'll find some occasion to wear it in the dead of winter here...without a jacket. haha. 

Hello Kitty! 

Can you tell I have girls? 

Although I can tell you I know of at least 2 very cool little boys who think Hello Kitty is the "cat's pajamas". Too much? I though so too.

Happy Wednesday everyone! Don't forget to check out the linky party for this KAL at luvinthemommyhood. 

Lady Liberty

I only finished 10 rows of my Tops, Tanks and Tees KAL Gemini Pullover:

It's reminding me increasingly of this lady:

I've put off working on it more until I finish off two little baby projects.

With our move just a month away, I only have bits of time here and there to work on projects, but I am ever so grateful that I have this skill because I find it does help to ease the overwhelming stress of it all. Knit a few rows, take a deep breath, down a cup of cold-brew, and things seem a little bit more manageable.Yay for creative outlets!
