Aline, racing towards the finish line....
Sorry for the horrible quality of those; the batteries must be dying in the camera. Now if I can just muster up the motivation to start the second sleeve... as a distraction, I've been swatching around the colors for the fair isle portion of brown blob -
I think this is the winner. Of course, I still have a ridiculous amount of brown st st ahead of me before this fun colorwork... but I'm keeping decent motivation and have a 24-hour work trip this week, so there is some light at the end. |  |
BTW, I've read it a number of times but I need to add my 2 cents... Main Line is the bomb. This could be the new Cotton Ease in my book.
Had a fabulous weekend, TNB had dinner with my mom for the first time and it went great. I also got to spend a good old debaucle of a night out with some friends from High School, concluding with Taco Bell at 3am. Yes, I am in my late twenties. Yes, it's still funny.
I also took my knitting [brown blob] to TNB's house for the first time. I pulled it out and said "babe, it's time." He was cooking dinner so after asking if he needed help, I settled in on the couch as he said "you just sit there and knit to your little hearts content". 10 points in my book.

Just ten points? I'd give him a lot more than that. Hooray for fiber-supportive men! My husband has never said no to yarn, no matter how poor we are and no matter how many times I tell him we can't afford his video games. (Yarn is much more useful than a game anyway, right?) He's said no to knitting books, bags, and supplies, but never to yarn. He gets major points for that!
I love the colors of the Fair Isle. It's going to look wonderful. I'm working up the guts to start my first Fair Isle project. It's just a hat, but I have a feeling that tears might be shed once or twice during the process, until I get the hang of it!
wow... that's awesome TNB is so supportive! kudos for him. my guy is trying to bribe me with cashmere if i don't nag him about anything for a week HAHAHAH.
Woo-hoo!! He deserves more than 10 points. :)
your mandarin blouse looks great! I add length to the body on almost everything i knit.
