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!

Buffy

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!

Cupcake

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.

Tie

Look! Look! Six rounds in, there's an "X" in my row, signifying the first strike I have ever bowled in my life! YAY! Also note that I tied for third place with Rodney, who was a composite of Erin, Celli, and myself. We couldn't figure out how to make the machine only score for three people, so we took turns bowling as Rodney (from Stargate: Atlantis) and Captain Jack (from Torchwood and Dr. Who) - yes, we are all sci-fi geeks, to varying degrees. Note that Captain Jack - FAKE PERSON - got two strikes. Jerk.

Isuck

This is more typical of my game. I do, in fact, suck at bowling.

Buffy is quite impressed. She says the stripes will accent her girlish figure...and the strap ....since she is so shapely, mom won't have to do much.
We should call her the Yarn Ho. Her favorite pastime is to play in my knitting bag.

I have had too much fun with Buffy's sweater. Should I hang onto it for when you come here? Also, I got your check for the Lorna's tour. I'll do good shopping for you.
