Look What I Got!!!

The Brother KH-260 Bulky Knitting Machine. My first love! I had one of these machines before and sold it. Never got over it either. I really wanted to be able to knit and crochet together but found I didn't like crocheting very much with the really thin yarn. So this way I can combine both when I knit with the sport weight yarns.

Started New Project

Ok. I fell in love with the stitch pattern from the last project. And felt it was just right for this one. So it will be another long, arduous, lovely, beautiful lace project. Why do I do this to myself??? Because the end result is so worth it!

Goodie came to me...

Ooooohhh!!! As promised, I would get something completely opposite of pink this time round.

I think I want to knit the Henley Perfected.

She's Done!

Ok. I can finally say I like the outcome. Click on pics for closer view.

Salvaging Project

Ok I started with the knitting needles last night and then decided this morning that it would be faster just to take it to the machine. So far the back is finished. Just have to do the armholes and neck edge.

Back to the Drawing Board

Well, I may as well get right back up on that horse. I still have fushia yarn left over and I will use that to recreate my halter. I'm going to rib the back and hems to keep them from rolling. I fell in love with this project and cannot let it go out like this. I love the stitch and look forward to wearing it this summer. It will happen!

WTF!!!

What in the fudgenickies happened to this? Backless tops and I are done FOREVA! Ok. The front I love. But because I can't walk backwards everywhere I go in this... This would have been
been fine if I had done the back the same as the front. Anywho, because I love this stitch so much, I'm going to have to redeem it with another project.

Done Knitting!

I'm ecstatic! Sure I still have to seam and finish, however, seaming a tank top is quick. Finishing will be fun 'cause I get to break out my crochet hook.
I'm glad that I finally put this yarn to good use. This was in my stash and I kept trying to figure out a great project for it. I didn't just want to knit it up just for the sake of destashing it. Can't even remember what the original intent was for this yarn. Maybe because I've had it since September 24th of...last year! Ok, last year isn't that far back, but in my world yarn kept for 4 1/2 months has very little chance of ever seeing the light of day again. So this is a good thing to be certain.

TGIF

I told myself that I wasn't going to do any knitting. I was just going to veg out after work. I'm tired! But I couldn't help myself, and I'm glad I couldn't. The worst is now over. I'm done shaping. Still have more knitting to do, however, I'm done for the night.
