Vomit boots and fashion bits
Pattern:tempting from knitty. Easy as pie pattern, if you don't mind endless, mindless 2X2 ribbing. I wanted to tear my nail beds out, but that's just me. Like I said, I started this when I first learned to knit and put it away after about a week, not to finish it until almost a year later. Continuous nightly knitting could've produced this in a week or so. And in the end, I think it's fairly lovely but it's a good thing I don't need a bra cause I'm not so fancy as to have a strapless bra, plus, I think you've gotta have a bit more upfront to make those puppies stay up.
Picture: Little Bit, he's got an amazing eye for detail, look at how he chopped off the rest of my face but made sure he got that brute of a chin pimple. Yeah...he rocks.
Speaking of him rocking, I feel like I should start a whole category dedicated to his fantastic fashion sense. Here's his latest concotion which he wore to the Baltimore museum of art on Wednesday and did a mad sparkle dance for whoever mentioned his fancy shirt. That's also the day I picked up the nasty name Vomit-Boots. It took Little Bit and I the whole drive into downtown after leaving the museum to figure out what the rank smell that filled out humble volvo was. I said baby, do you think it's me and he replied from the back seat yes mama, it must be you. Indeed it was. Vomitous boots from a joyful run through the boulevard park. Feh, see if I joyfully run again.
Also, notice the star Little Bit is holding, it's from my rockin' SP. She knows me so well, sitting at home she was no doubt filled with thoughts like old Vomit-boots is always losing her darning needles, I think I'll send her (Vomit-boots) a sweet little star-shaped holder filled to the points with sharp darning needles for all her knitting and spinning needs.
Of course she is right, I am always losing my needles, and I love the star (and the devoured dark chocolate bars that accompianed them) but dammit, I wish she'd stop calling me Vomit-boots, one joyful run and I'm gonna carry that foul moniker around forever!
Finally, here's all the kits I just sent out. A mixture of ragamitten and monster hat kits, 26 in all, hence the lack of an update last week. However, I've got some mad rad yarns for this sunday!
xo,
vomit-boots (by reclaiming this name, I hope to take away it's power to hurt me)
