I blame the Red Sox..

For not actually blogging about anything in particular for quite sometime. As many of you may be aware ,the glory that is the Boston Red Sox are in the World Series. And since the said team composes a legitimate portion of my DNA and inhabits a quarter of my soul it is reasonable that I be M.I.A. for the month of October. Right? But today is an off day, and you all have my undivided attention (we are up 2-0 in the series ::cackles maniacally::) So here is what I have been up to.

A.) Pinwheel Sweater from Elann.com for my niece, The Divine Miss B. (X-Mas pressie)

B.) Birthday present to me, 4 skeins of Scout's Swag. ZuluKnitty, Power Couples, Rosalie, and Orchids (in That order)

C.) The Tilted Duster from the Fall 2007 Interweave Knits (its finished but I havent taken pic of it yet, so this will do for now)

This is the first time I've ever seamed something sweater like. Nora herself gave me some tips on how to do it ( God Bless Ravelry!) and it came out well, not perfect but well. I think I need to add a couple of those hook and eye buttons to make it lie right. I don't have the graceful swan neck of the IK model or Audrey Hepburn. In fact I have a short neck (I am happy I actually have some neck lol), but this causes the collar to lie a little weird. So I think once I add those, the collar will fit the way its supposed to. If anyone else has any suggestions I would appreciate them.

Finally I am working on some Monkey socks by Cookie A. I am using the Pfefferminz Prinz from Wollmeise that I showed you in an earlier post. Such pretty yarn and the pattern is quite nice too.

Speaking of sock patterns my friend (blogger buddy is more accurate) John/Yarnballboogie has just published a a killer sock pattern called Stalkers, Its a really pretty pattern. Go check it out and support the poor boy. A man can not live off yarn alone!

Ok, I need to get back to work. I hope everyone is having a pleasant day.

EDIT: Upon returning home i found this in my mailbox. Yeah, that's right a Grand Jury notice. Oh how the god's must be smiling down on me. It's actually kind of exciting, but 16 days!!!! Knowing my luck Whitey Bulger will be caught in between now and then. Oh well I must do my civic duty. Work is going to love this!

Go Sox!
