I'm Back...A FO

Ravelry is too addictive. That's where I spend a lot of time, and playing around with my new Ipod. But, it doesn't mean I'm not crafting in one way or the other.

Here's one of my fave fos.

This is "Lacy Days of Summer" from Crochet Today. (I tagged the name wrong on my flickr account-) Started on 8-21-08 and finished on 9-27-08. I think those are the right dates. Anyway, I used an f hook and 6 skeins of Luster sheen in light mulberry. If you like crochet, and wanna do a dress, I highly recommend this one. This fits beautifully, and no gauge issues. I think this has got to be one of my very favorite completed projects.

I also finished a doggie t-shirt-not shown-and a friend of ours airbrushed a design on the back. It really is cute. If I get interest, I'll post a pic. I did start another crochet dress...Tuscany Tank Lace dress, but had a huge gauge issue. I ripped it out, and started over, so not much to see yet. I am still knitting a tunic from garnstudio because everyone seems to think that this winter will be a cold one. I want to pair it with leggings, but now there's a dress code issue at work. Buttheads. I've worn leggings for the last 2 years, and it never was a problem til this summer.

I also finished a bulky mini cardi from Fitted Knits and plan to use it as a knock around sweater for work. The sizing on that sucker is weird. I used LB Wool Ease Thick and Quick as recommended and the darn thing is small! I didn't want it enormous, but somewhere in between would have been nice. I used up the stash on this one from another failed project , so at least it was economical. I can't wait for Glam Knits to come out. I already called Barnes & Noble and the sale date will be 10-29.
