I Am Not Procrastinating




Honest Kimberly, I said that I was going to sew doll clothes tonight and that is what I am doing. But, I had to clean the table top photography studio off the ironing board so that I could sew. I thought that I should first attempt to get pictures of my new fingerless mitts before packing up.


The mitts are supposed to look like this (scroll down for the pattern in English) or this. Mine did not turn out as good. I think that my yarn is too fuzzy to really show off the cables. Of course, the problem could be that this was my first project with cables.

Side note: Do I start with a simple little cable? Of course not! I have to do one that is crossing itself from both directions for my first cable.

My assistant photographer got spacers on his teeth today in preparation for braces next week. Therefore, he is only able to manage sitting his his bean bag chair and playing his video game or laying on the couch and eating pudding while watching TV. So, I was on my own. Some things are not easy to photograph on your own.


The yarn is a 100% alpaca sport weight from Blue Sky Alpacas. It is so unbelievably soft!

And just so that there is proof that I did both...
