Rats + knitting picture spam

oyceterI am a mean rat mom. I put my rats in a paper bag and carried them around. In my defense, it was a paper bag filled with the leftover paper wrapping that my sub came in, and my rats are extremely fond of paper bags and old sandwich wrappings. I think they would be ecstatic if I ever let them dig through the trash can.
And now, for my two ongoing knitting projects:
This is my very ugly hooded sweater that is now in progress. Look! I seamed the shoulders! I have made actual seams! I feel very proud of myself ;).
The bit on the needle is the larger portion of the first sleeve.
And this is my pretty scarf made from the pattern at Knitty:
I love the yarn, even though it's impossible to work with. It's ok to work with, actually, until you make a mistake (of which I have made many). Then all the long fuzzy bits get all tangled together, making it very difficult to unknit. Gr. Of course, if I paid attention to what I was doing instead of watch TV, I might not make so many mistakes, but let's not go there.
The little flower is the first thing I ever crocheted! It's so round! Sorry. I am still amazed how fast you can change direction in crochet.

Thu, Apr. 28th, 2005 05:35 am (UTC)The sweater et. al. look great! I am very impressed with your rapid progress. You have come a long way from the RUS in such a short time. Isn't the branching scarf fun? I haven't gotten sick of the pattern yet, I made myself a smaller version out of a (substantial) scrap ball of silky wool. I only did the lace pattern this time and eliminated the garter stitch border. It's a lighter, lacier effect that I like equally. It makes a nice take-the-edge-off-the-air-conditioning scarf.
