Avast!
I worked up a little neckwarmer on Saturday from some leftover alpaca/merino Knitpicks yarn and some equally leftover shell buttons. It is very warm and only a little too snug, but I know that it will stretch a good deal. The photo doesn't show off the buttons very well, since I was going for that "Avast, matey" pirate look.
About that. I get these strange allergic reactions in my eye caused by Cthulhu knows what kind of particulate matter. I have to take some allergy meds and usually slather on this weird steroid jelly and also not touch it. This is the hard part and where Pirate Fashion Accessories come into play. I could use one of those stick-on bandaid things, but why? Especially not when I can make such a statement. Well, when Taryn came over for a friendly (or not so friendly if J is playing a blue deck) game of Magic, I was struck by one of these fits and had no choice but to immortalize it forever. Voila.
In other knitting news, I am nearly finished with the Low Down Dirty Wrap, so named for its penchant for the blues (i.e. what the extra dye stains my hands). Just one sleeve and a whole hell of a lot of soaking to do. I still don't know what to make with the recent Koolaid yarn. I love staring at that yarn. Its subtle orangey spell just sucks me into its tangy goodness. It is worsted weight and about half of what I need to make a full sweater. I was thinking of another long sleeved One Skein Wonder or a cropped sweater. Any suggestions?
Also, I am a sucker for these quiz things:
