starlight

I thought I had somehow managed to change my password and was locked out of the blog for the last few days.
Nooooooo... Apparently, even though I signed up for the new Google blogger, my account was hit by the change over. It took me a week to figure this out!!! Like I said, I am new to this blogging stuff… but DUH!

Now that I’m back, I have what might not look like much, but let me tell you, this is much progress on Starlight. Check this out:

Here's a close-up

I know you can’t tell, but I’m soon to start the waist shaping. Sami says she’s at the sleeve attaching stage. I can’t wait to see it.

I love Starlight...but I don’t think I’ll be monogamous. It is going to take a while, and knowing my “get something finished” mentality, I suspect I’ll need a few quick knits to play with as I go. I’m thinking some Christmas ornaments a la Two Old Bags.

I know, I know… I am just impressing you to no end with my planning… The fact that I can finish one in a half hour is part of the attraction. Maybe I’ll do a few booga bags with these yarns:


I've finished the body of the Guild Sampler Knit Along Vest. But I'll wait until the next meeting to add the bottom band and do the finishing.

Teenage son has a “gig” tomorrow night. The bassist for the band has “exotic” hives and there was some fear they wouldn’t be able to play, but he’s a trooper. So The Couch Jumpers will try to beat out 11 other bands tomorrow night. Maybe exotic hives will give them the edge.
