Cotton
Howdy! I've been knitting cotton lately and damn does my wrist hurt! But it's going to be worth it. I'm working on a really cool tee and it's actually going to fit and look good. (As always, the details are on Ravelry--I'm skiddoo.)
Ugh! Too bad the tee can't make ME look good in this photo. Let's just pretend it's poor lighting. Don't worry, the finished piece will shrink and fit better than this. Anyway, I did lots of swatching and math and I'm really pleased that it will pay off. Because the alternative would involve frogging and cussing.
Monica just finished a really cool vest in the exact same yarn. We're cool kids. Well, just Monica really because I haven't actually completed my garment.

Now I'm craving orange sherbet
I finished those orange socks this week! Toward the end I felt like they would never end, but we know better, don't we? Here's a crappy picture.
Since they're a gift, if you want all the details check out the ravelry entry. I want to thank Karen for generously giving me this yarn--without her these socks would not exist! In fact, several of my upcoming projects have Karen to thank. You're the best!
A Special Note! If you're in the Chicago area, go check out Arcadia Knitting at Lawrence and Ashland. There are many good reasons to visit, one of which is they are now carrying my buttons! How cool is that? They have a selection of my florals in a few sizes--perfect for baby cardis, bags and everything in between. And don't worry, I will update my etsy shop soon enough.
My next knitting project is a cotton tee. Thrilling, I know! Stay tuned, because it's moving along fast.
