updates

haven't been doing much in the way of knitting lately. and far less blogging, evidently.

I used the Curly Purly waistband, and a variation on the LTK picky pants for the gusset. I suppose I did it wrong the first time because I think I now prefer it to the one I used for the domo-kun shorties. I was worried I would run out of yarn, hence the striped legs.

Waist is a bit big, I'll probably add a drawstring later. Legs are a bit short, I probably won't fix it, seeing as it took me ~4 months to finish.

Okay, so I know everybody and their cat has knitted Fetching, but it seemed like an appropriate gift for V. My fastest knit ever, managed to get it out the door within 3 days. I still need to finish my pair.

another project hibernating... it's destined to become a pencil case, but probably too late, the inside of my paradiso campeggio is all dirty with pencil and pen marks.

most.boring.knit.ever. finished the gusset a while back, and am working on strap #1 now. still have to do strap #2, ears x2, arms x2, the "chest hair", seaming, felting, attaching the webbed straps, sewing a lining & zipper, and then the whiskers, claws, teeth, soot sprites. ugh. and since the perfectionist in me won't let me do a half-ass job of just slapping it together, i project another year, minimum, 'til completion. it's already been--what, 20+ months? lol..
