Nothin' but blue skies

That's right, I'm finally starting to feel better. I've been sick for about a week and a half.
This let me knit! But alas, no photos.. my computer is rebelling on me at the moment.
We had a bad storm, and although it was off.. something happened to it.. possibly damaged hardware. *sigh* So sad!

My projects:

• Ms Marigold is nearly finished, just one arm hole to add ribbing to, plus weaving in all the ends. I might end up turning it around and adding a button to make a cute mock neck thing and a sexy back.. Undecided though.

• The socks. Oh the socks.. I laced what I had done up, and realised I didn't like where the decreases were, thus.. rip rip. But, it will be better in the long run. Since I was annoyed about removing about 5-6 inches... I needed a diversion though thus I started to make a...

• Ribbed Lace Bolero! A very cute design. I'll probably be done it by Monday. It's in the left over merino from Ms Marigold. Perfect for me, since I get chilly easily...

Today though, knitting shopping trip. After recieving Naughty Needles from Kris and Jelena, I was inspired! Thus I finally bought myself Knitting Lingerie Style and Domiknitrix!! Plus a beautiful wool/cashmere blend to make the Waist-Cincher Top from KLS, and angora for the trim. Both in black. I'm changing the sleeves to short sleeves, and I think I'll add satin ribbon laced down the ladder lace under each bust. It will be sexy, soft and very pin-up girl-ish.

Now I have so many things on my list to make.

From Naughty Needles (apparently people think I look like the cover girl!):
- Straitjacket (with my own sleeve mod so it can be "vanilla" or not)
- Thwack! (the barbed version)
- Criss-cross Garter
- Lolita

From Domiknitrix:
- Snow Devil Hat
- L'il Red Riding Hoodie

Then I have my whole OTHER list, but I'll get into that later, because it's bloody huge. I also have things I want to make for people... if they aren't too nice, I enjoy my naughty people after all.

Lace me up, because I like it.

Finally, after months of knitting, I have finally knit something in my favourite colour! That's right, black.
I give you:


Lace-up Fingerless Gloves (I don't know why my fingers are burnt out in the photo, I didn't use a flash.. apparently I'm just too pale.)

Pattern: from the book, Naughty Needles
Yarn: Bamboo, bamboo!
Needles: 2.5 mm
Started / Finished: May 15th 2007 / May 20th 2007

During my stay in Ottawa, mentioned in my previous post. We, Miss Ifi, Carrie and I, visited a yarn store, where I found this AMAZING yarn. Fell in love with it, and made these gloves to wear out to Zaphod's. And wear them I did! Even though they were kind of toasty. The bamboo has such a lovely softness. Once I move back there, I will buy more to make a matching garter belt, sexy, yet good for fall nights.
