candy

meet candy, the razor cami. so named due to her color, and her penchant for gin and red lipstick. not a super photo- i was in a rush. you get the idea though. i used jenna's mods because hers looks fabulous, but the decreases weren't enough for my straps. she decreased like so:
* knit 2 rows in pattern
* front - knit 2" in pattern while decreasing 1 st at each side of every RS row, then knit 1" 3x1 rib.
* back - work 6 rows of 3x1 rib, while decreasing 1 st. at each side of every RS row.
where as i should have accounted for the fact i was making a larger size than she had, and decreased twice as much in front. i'll probably never wear it- but it's done, and that's the point. i think?

my suss sweater is coming together well- the sewing bit always takes longer than you think it will. or alternatively, 3 hours of sleep is not enough to function on because you're not in college anymore. i never understood how people could have insomnia- it seemed gratuitous. oh karma.

i was very bad yesterday. my favorite yarn shop moved to a much more accessible location, which also happens to be directly across from my hair dresser. i bought some beautiful farmhouse yarn to make my so called scarf. i don't need a scarf- i didn't even really want to make one, i just liked the stitch pattern. i also picked up some brown sheep wildfoote for dying. yeah, for dying- because i don't have enough to do right now.
