She’s the shit, yo.
I love it when a knitting project comes along that I not only really like, but I grow to love. As I’m knitting it. I think, in many ways, you develop relationships with projects. Maybe I should just speak for myself, here. “no, John….I personally DON’T talk to my knitting…”
sigh…….
So I’m working this little number:
It’s the Frivol hat by Debi Tuttle. Look at a really fucking awesome one here.
I remember looking at the pattern and really not thinking much of it. But then after seeing several done up, AND realizing I had the perfect yarn (Rio de la Plata 3 -ply), I couldn’t resist. And I’m so glad I couldn’t. I look forward to this one every day. I set aside time. I say “ok….I’ll see you tomorrow”…. and when I see her for the first time each morning I say “good morning, beautiful….” and I rub her. And I smile. Then I say “Yeah, I still love your curves.” “Nope, I’m not sick of you.” “I can’t wait until you’re complete.”
The deep attachments of my knitting are really felt. Each time I start something I think that it’s going to be THE project that I’m happy with. The one I don’t get bored with. The one I wear ALL the time.
This just may be the one.
OOh yeah! I love how you lust over her!
I saw it over at Pam’s and drooled too!
ooh! that’s freakin’ great!!
vewy pwetty …
Oooohh, she’s gorgeous. You’re lucky that I can clone her or I’d be trying to steal her away.
I love the grey. You think it’s gonna be all serious and staid, and then wham! it hits you with the bobble whimsy.
Gorgeous! I love the textures.
She really has a little of everything all in the right places! What a georgous knit!
Wow, I really like the intense texture. I’m going to search through my stash to see if I have anything that will work. Yum!
I want a boy to talk to me like that.
I dig her curves, too!
i think you like the name of the hat too. and it is lovely and i almost talk with my knitting sometimes too. and jumping with joy in front of it is normal in mi casa. i almost find sheep pretty sometimes, i have discovered, for being such nice providers. it is like when you get to know a not very pretty person and find them amazingly pretty after a while. life is kind.
i was inspired by pam too….. i’m making it as a gift, but contemplating keeping it for myself.
I totally agree with you on “My So Called Scarf.” It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who doesn’t want to wear something with a thickness resembling cardboard. I got about as far in as you, and had to frog.
fucking awesome indeed!
very purdy. i see why you fell in love with her
