Crochet Pink Shawl

Put together with patterns out of The Ultimate Sourcebook of Knitting & Crochet Stitches

Yarn: Jack Frost 4-ply Worsted in Dusty Rose and Petal Pink
Hook: Size M
I clicked around on the internet for a while looking for a pattern for an interesting shawl and didn't find any that were to my liking, so I overcame my disappointment and realized that you don't need a pre-designed pattern for a frickin' shawl. It's just a frickin' triangle. So I picked out a nice openwork pattern from my trusty "sourcebook" and went to town. It looks better worn than sprawled out flat, but I was too lazy to call my photographer over.

Crochet Motifs & Flower

Motifs From The Ultimate Sourcebook of Knitting & Crochet Stitches
Flower From Crochet Partners

Yarn: Wal-mart 4-ply Worsted Acrylic in Soft Beige (again!), Jack Frost 4-ply Worsted in Dusty Rose, Unknown Red 4-ply Worsted from a 5-and-dime closeout.
Hook: H?
The flower was one of my first crochet projects. As such, I had no idea what I was doing, so it came out a little...strange.

Knit Halter

From Make It With Mademoiselle

Yarn: Wal-mart 4-ply Worsted Acrylic in Soft Beige
Needles: 10.5 circulars, 10.5 straight, Size J hook
I've said it once and I'll say it again. I will buy cheap shitty acrylic yarn. Because I am just knitting for fun. And rent in new york ain't cheap. And I work in research. And that means I'm po'.
I think I screwed up on this halter top in a few places, but I don't think the man on the street could tell. It looks nice with jeans and a jacket in the fall.

Crochet Baby Cap

From Make It With Mademoiselle

Yarn: Wal-mart 4-ply Worsted Acrylic in Soft Beige
Hook: Size H
I picked up this Make It With Mademoiselle book in the local used book store. Published in the 70's, this book has everything from "60 fabulous knit & crochet instructions" to "42 fantastic scarf tricks" to "73 ideas for decorating with sheets." Rad.

Modern Technology

So apparently, one can post pictures with this Bloggerbot thing. This means: I can post pictures of recent projects. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha.

What is this Hello- Bloggerbot? Hmm...

Casting on. *Smirk*

I had a Diaryland. I had a LiveJournal. Then, I got a "real" job. Then, I started knitting. Then, I started crocheting. And now, I want a knitting blog of my own, to talk about the obsessions that take over my free time on the train and while watching DVDs. I want to show off my acrylic fabrications. (I didn't say that job was high-paying.) And now...all I need is an image host?
