Spinnin' Yarns

Here it is, maybe at the halfway point? Perhaps not quite--I have 3 balls left of the kureyon, plus I will need to get some black wool. I've decided to alter the instructions, put in an elastic waist rather than drawstring, and I will use double (or triple?) crochet to join the sections (with black wool, so it breaks up the discontinuous stripes). I think this will look cool, even cooler if I could lose 30 lbs... but if I do the elastic waist, I can probably make it an A line skirt and won't have to re-knit anything if I do get to lose those lbs.

Day 3 treadmill. Phew. Now, if I could stop the sweets...

In other news I got my mom's old Bernina 180 artista for xmas. Yay! I made a ruffled shrug from panne velvet (white) but don't have pics yet. The thing is, I didn't fit it right, since I made it to be a bedjacket and things aren't, um, where they belong when you aren't wearing undergarments. Rats. I may line the sleeves and just wear it out instead, it's cute!
