So I was at Knit NY yesterday. The lovely and talented John suggested that indeed, I would do best to tink back across the broken stitches of the BGWA, which took a while since the Fandango is not the easiest yarn in which to see stitches, but I got there (with a little help).
I also seamed up the Poncho. Everyone there loved it, and in fact they asked me to write up the pattern for them, which I did. Turns out, though, that while they stock Giotto, they do not have Zanziba. It's ok, though, because I'm going to write up the pattern for you. Probably tomorrow. I let a nice woman named Jen try the poncho on. It looked really cool. I am going to make my sister take some photos once she receives the poncho in the mail. (What, you thought I was going to model it for you?) And while it's still lovely, taking a photo of it would really show you nothing more than this, which is the photo of the front half. I'm rather please with how quickly this project went. Although it seems a long-ish time since I was in DC and at Knit Happens, I've gotten a fair amount of other stuff done, as well.
Like the Erotic Enigma scarf. John liked it. And so did another woman who worked in the store (and is a design student at Pratt or FIT or some such...). So if two LYS people like it, I figure I'll be done with it. Easy enough.
And we got the BGWA dilemma all fixed up. Although for some reason there are not quite the right number of stitches in the affected area. Luckily, this is the easiest of the yarns in which to fudge it so that nobody will ever be able to notice. (Probably that means we'll all be able to see it.)
So now it's time to head to work.
What, you expected drama and photography? Sorry to burst your bubble...
