A quick knitty post, as...
A quick knitty post, as I am just not in the mood to write about much tonight.
Well, it's mostly showing off how pale my legs are, but this is the Fug, on my feet. Yay, Fug! I love them ridiculously (although come on. Sparkli gets lace and I get fug? Where is the justice in that, I ask you?) Thank you, amykins!
This is a 90% finished doggie sweater for one Miss Buffy, the pampered poodle. The top flaps wrap around the neck, so there is no need for leg holes, hooray. All that's left to do is knit the strap that goes around her belly and buy buttons for the neck - then I'm giving it to Mom to finish. The strap has to be put on behind the dog's front legs, and it needs to be the right length or the sweater will slip, so Mom - you're getting a half finished strap so you can customize it to Buffy. Isn't it cute, though? Stripes!
The happy birthday cupcake I knitted for knitty friend L. I'm pretty pleased with it (thanks for the suggestion, amykins) - there are a couple of things I'd change from the pattern. I'd make the cake part taller, and sturdier somehow, but otherwise, it's pretty darn cute. L, of course, was NOT at knitting tonight, the little wench, so she has no cupcake.

We should call her the Yarn Ho. Her favorite pastime is to play in my knitting bag.
I kind of love the Fug, too.
And yes, I did also forget you had this blog. Going to have to add Vox to my bookmarks so I can keep up.
