Actual Knitting!
So, I realized it's been forever sine I posted any pictures. So. I am posting pictures today of what I've been really working on steady the last few days.
First up, the conception sweater. I've been working on this since..Oh... January. It's been a long haul, mostly because with this one, if it wasn't done right, I'd frog back and fix it. Trying to do this project right.
For example, last night I was almost ready to cast off, when I noticed I did the neck wrong. So I frogged back and I'm fixing it. Would anybody have noticed? Most likely not. But I would know.
Here's a close up.
I'm happy with the way it's turning out. I really am.
Next up is my doggie sweater.
It's hard color to photograph. It' that Fiber trends pattern, and I think it's called a Broken Rib.
Next up is the pattern I bought when I was shopping with Nic. I love this! Love it! It's super neat construction. You cast on the neck, and then increase, and then cast off the sleeves, and knit the body, which is where I am now.
So. There you go. Actual knitting content.

Dear Kate Gilbert,
I love your patterns. They are super cute and spiffy. But I am sorry, I cannot knit the baby pea pod sweater. I do not know why I have a brain fart and cannot follow a simple chart. But I can't. I'm a failure. I hope you can forgive me.
Yours,
Valkryie

I don't know how I missed this....but thanks to Crazy Aunt Purl for pointing it out.
If they can't make it, with all the money in the world to buy them happiness...how can the normal folk make it?? why? Why cruel world??
Hehee!
Okay. Knitting content....somewhere...um...no.
Not today I guess.
What? Doogie is gay? Damn... how did I miss that one as well?
Okay... and how does Flavor Flav have SEVEN FREAKING KIDS??
Alrgiht.... I better go do something.... before all my brain cells die.

I need help.
I need a sweater pattern for a man. A tall man. I also need it to not be to crazy difficult, as I'd like to get this done by christmas.
Can I get someone to knit this for me as well? I have all the yarn...really I do.
Well. I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Also, why am I the only one at Stitch and Bitch? I made a pot of coffee, and damn it, I shouldn't drink 10 cups, but I don't want to waste it. So. 10 cups of coffee + knitting = what? I'm not sure, and I'm afraid to find out.
