SHOW ME YOUR KNITS vol. 1

Finally took some pictures of some of my in progress knitting and crochet projects for flac:

This will be a shawl when I get done with it. I started out with an asymmetrical triangle pattern and didn't like how the increases were working up so I ripped it out and started over using almost the row pattern from the original but going with a symmetrical increase and more stockinette stitch. I am in love with this color changing yarn and may have bought way too much of it.

This is a pattern from Expressions Fiber Arts, and is the most complicated knitting I have done to date.

Another shawl (this one is for a friend) and is crochet. The white bit is my somewhat blocked test sample. Pattern is also from Expressions Fiber Arts.

Can link to patterns or post the pattern that I made up for the first shawl later if anyone is interested (I am on my phone right now.) I have the brim of a hat worked up but 1.5 inches of 1x1 ribbing is only interesting for my mistakes.

WORK

Working like it's summer (read: super busy) and all I really want to do is hibernate like a bear because my body says a big fuck you to everything after daylight savings ends. Trying not to complain though because I can think of worse things. But it does smell like cat food in my office for some reason right now and I am not sure why. Probably someone cooked fish in the microwave again.

TACOS

rd95 promised me tacos for dinner this weekend and all I'm saying is he better deliver, I wanna be a fat kid and stuff my face and take a nap.
