Still Knitting Away - in the background

So, the trunk show was fun. It was hard to fit everything on here, but I eventually managed, and we had a separate table for the drinks. It's always so cool (and yes, a little bit weird) to watch other women playing with and trying on my actual clothes. But I love seeing them on different shapes and types of people, and I also love hearing the comments and suggestions from you guys. Food for thought on the next batch! So thanks to everyone who stopped by :-)

My favorite knitter was the woman who, after looking at a few of the sweaters on the table, studied me for a sec, and asked me if I didn't think my knits looked just a bit like that "cocktails girl's stuff on Ravelry?" I assured her that I was that cocktails girl on Ravelry, and got the most awesome reaction ever. Also fun.

But, most my time has been spent on moving. With a new house picked, it's time to figure out what we plan to do with it! So far, we plan a bit of construction.

And in the interest of contributing towards said house and construction, I'd better keep designing. I have been squeezing the knitting in. Naragansett went off to testing a few days ago, and I've been splitting my time between the sweater below and my secret assignment, which has a pending due date and cannot be ignored.

This is the summer top I am reknitting in the hopes that a less fitted shape will mean a less slutty sweater. So far, so good. And it shouldn't surprise me that in the resizing, a few details are getting a makeover as well. I love the deeper seed edge here and the spacing out of the eyelets which spontaneously replaced the original version (underneath). Will see what else changes.

I leave you with a few awesome photos from a book my sister sent me.

One guy got a ski and the other got a golf club. Who's the prop guy who thought a wooden duck would be the perfect thing to go with those two?

If you look closely at what's going on, here, I don't think what she's suggesting has anything to do with tennis or sweaters.

Could they not find a baby model and had to use a stuffed duck?

And Maya swears this bunny is evil.
