Cleo

Another FO. This is Cleo from Knitty. I used Schaefer Laurel (I think this is my fav yarn right now). The color is great. Too bad the model is not. I still need to put in the elastic so it will fit better at the high waist. I really like this pattern. I think I will defo make it again but with a little more coverage over my sagging you-know-whats :)

I think you are way too hard on yourself! The model in all these pics looks great and I love all the shrugs you are doing. Remember, real women aren't thin, they are thick! :o)

I love knitty.com and no offense to the site and their beautiful projects, but your halter top looks great. I like yours better...again I think knitty.com is a great site but you did a great job.

I hope no one gets mad at me for saying this.

Happy Knitting

This weekend I got a chance to work on the hairpin lace shrug from the Berocco catalog. It is really beautiful (in the catalog) - don't know what mine will turn out to be... Each panel has 186 loops per side and three loops hooked to each panel. It is wonderful watching this THING come together. I love the HPL look. Here are the first five panels crocheted together. I think it might turn out to be quiet beautimous after all. I have only one more panel to go before I can finish it up and be done. What the hell am I waiting for ?? Five panels on my first hairpin lace shrug  Here is the finished product. I have actually worn it and washed it and THEN took this picture. It washed well. I don't normally like to wash my projects - I know dumb, but I get scared! But I partied like it was 1999 in this shrug last Friday and it it got a little dirty - from what, I don't freaking know. But it shrunk a little and I actually like the fit better now. I love this pattern. It

Clapotis Done !!

My Clapotis is finished! I love this pattern. I love this garment. It is so versatile. I made mine out of a beaded rayon which knit up just beautifully and drapes perfectly. I'd like to make another out of a wool, silk blend next for warmth. This particular clapotis will be perfect for spring and autumn. Clapotis makes me happy !
