Yeah, I made my hubby sleep on the couch so that I could block Wicked. lol I had it pinned down to his side of the bed. hehe It was SO worth it though. Although I was really worried that I might give the sweater too much width, I didn't. I could actually wear it without the shirt underneath, it just looks better that way I think. Not to mention it's very Project Spectrum-y. Don't mind the picture, I threw all of that on specifically for this photo shoot and then took it ALL back off. I did leave my hair up though.
Mainly our wireless internet wasn't working. Now, don't ask me why I didn't think of just...plugging it in. At any rate, I was without internet all day yesterday. Which gave me plenty of time to knit. I swatched for the sweater I'll be knitting for my LYS, I turned the heel and completed the gusset decreases on the I Dreamed of Africa socks, and made one of the foot thongs for my best friend. Can I just say that I got gauge the first time? This is only the second time EVER that this has happened.
differently because it was a bit too big for my foot. Admittedly, I'm kinda smitten with this thing. It's ultra-cute. Too bad it's entirely impractical for me. My best friend is a lifegaurd, who lives in Florida...by the beach. I never get to the beach, hate things around my toes (still can't stand flip flops), and rarely wear sandals. Oh yeah, do yourself a favor and get OTHER people to take pictures like this. We're not even gonna get into what I had to go through to get this picture. lol This was super simple to make though, I did the entire thing (including frogging several times to acheive my desired effect) while watching The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Maybe I'll make a pair for myself with the leftovers...or maybe some bookmarks. Way more practical for me.Labels: foot thong, happiness, knitting, LYS, progress, project spectrum, Wicked

|Gauge? What is this "gauge" you speak of? hee hee. I really like the way Wicked looks with a long sleeve shirt underneath.

Mouse - Thanks. :) I rarely swatch anymore, mostly because I spend a lot of time knitting socks and, in my mind, all sock yarns are equal. Though the fact that this is untrue has bitten me bad once before.
Kat - Thank you too! The color was one I'd been eyeing for quite a bit.
(haha kat and mouse...I kill myself)

looks great! I have some wicked questions since I'm doing the sweater too (but stop after the waist shaping 'cuz I didn't want to screw it up).
1) did you do increases after the waist shaping or just keep knitting it straight?
2) Sleeves: Did you do the regular short sleeve pattern or did you modify it
(incase you wonder why I'm asking you instead of the other SKC's is because I think some of their sweaters look, well, funny....but I like yours....so I want to know what YOU did).
Thanks!!!
