Some more FOs
Pattern: #1 Tank with Lace in Rebecca 22
Yarn: KFI King Tut in Yellow
I would've finished this Sunday had it not been for my nasty cold running longer than necessary. I tried it on, of course, gotta make sure the armholes fit and it's not too tight. My sister's slightly more voluptuous than me, and she'll look great in this.
Pattern: Garter stitch
Yarn: Mouse and Fiber Kitten's Reese's Fleeces in Pink
Remember Mouse's ball of pink fleece? This is it. I started to knit a scarf only to run out 2 feet later (granted, it was 6 inches wide). I didn't want to frog the whole thing so I ripped back 6 inches, crocheted the sides closed, and crocheted a double chain strap to it. Instant bag! It's designated for my friend's daughter, and I'm going to fill it with crayons and a little blank book.
Mmm... agua de horchata! Everyone's Favorite Rabbit blogged about it one fine day this summer and I knew I had to try it. I used to drive 5 miles to this mom and pop restaurant for it because it was homemade. Buying the mix at a supermarket, with its preservatives and artificial colors and flavors, just wasn't the same. I let my horchata sit in the fridge overnight before blending, and I used soy milk. BF says two thumbs up! Thanks for sharing the recipe, Becky!
Lastly, thanks everyone for the Mittens comments. Those are going to Nuremberg, Germany, to BF's mom. Wish I could say they were mine, but it'll never get below 40 around here!
Yum! Your horchata looks deeee-lish. I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe.
The tank you made for your sister came out so lovely! Perfect choice of color, too. She'll be able to wear it with almost anything. Way to go, MJ!
The tank looks great!
The tank looks good! The pattern shows up so much nicely when it's being worn.
So it is a really cute bag. Sorry it wasn't enough for a scarf. I'm still trying to perfect my fleecy yarn. What did you think of knitting with it?
The tank looks good - didn't you finish it quickly?! I like the fleece bag - perfect for a girl, especially with crayons and paper! I wondered how the fleece pieces are joined together - I suppose you must cut along the longest lenght to avoid too many knots? Interesting idea...
Wowowow... that's a sexy knit! Lucky sis :o) The evil me advises you to "keep it" because that tank looks so good on you! BTW, I'm trying to get Rebecca 22 but can't seem to find it anywhere (mostly sold out). Any ideas?
