Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

I see a FO!
For some people a FO a week is nothing. For me, if its not socks, a FO is a big deal. KATE is done! I took a ton of pics just to try and get a decent one and I can't so I'll give you a bunch of shitty ones. I'm digicam disabled.
Its a really comfy sweater but there are 2 things wrong with it. Number one, I made it too big once again. I did the 34/36 bust size which I figured would be fitted. I hit gauge dammit. Luckily its still a comfy sweater even a little big. I love this yarn, Schacenmeyer Nomatta Grande. Problem Number 2: I don't have a bra I can wear under this, not even my new lovely racerback bra works. Not a big deal some would say, but my girls have gotten bigger and are heading south. Those of you with bigguns' know that causes some uncomfortable sweating in the summer. Those with tiny perky ones, I stick my tongue out at you in jealousy. I also have a piercing that(sans-bra) makes it look like I have 3 nipples on one side when its cold. Sexy right? NO. I'm thinking of fashioning a bra out of the leftover yarn that I have. If it shows it will at least match.
Ok, I'm done talking about boobies. Now lets talk about blobs. After finishing Kate I immediately cast on for M's birthday sweater. Its my tequila sun handsun. I'm an inch away from seperating out the body from the arms. Once I do that you will be able to see a decent pic of it. For right now it looks blobbish.
I also updated my WIP's. I have yet to update my FO's. I want to change it but I haven't decided what to do yet so it remains looking like hell and without the recent FO's. Maybe by the time you read this I'll have figured something out.
I'm leaving you for the weekend with some art to persuse. Do you know about the i madonarri festival that takes place in Santa Barbara every year? Its amazing and the pictures don't really do it justice. If you livein CA - go, its worth the trip. The website doesn't have the current pics but someone from LJ took photos and posted them here
