Pringle

Happy new year~ So I know there's been this whole Pringle craze with that sweater, but my Silver Belle was similar enough for me to give that up and decide that this is the Pringle I want to make. Here are a close-ups:

(Haha, her eyes look kind of funny.) It looks easy enough, but I don't know how to do the decreasing for the shoulder-neck transition when it's knitted on its side like this... If anyone has a better picture of this (or helppp), it would be very much appreciated, thanks!

twinkle's weekend knits

Not coming out till February 5th, but listen to the patterns Amazon mentions:

"the Wisteria Scarf creates drama with its cascading clusters of blossom stitches" [okay, cheesy description, but it still sounds hot], "the Meridian Tunic Dress, perfect with jeans and sandals" [hopefully this one will turn out a little better for me than the Groovy Sweater Dress], and "the Cloudburst Cardigan, a ruffled knit that easily slips on over a dress."

Thanks to luxe loops for the heads up!

Lobster Mitten Sweater Hood

Giles, Winter 2007

P.S. My Silver Belle is done! Pictures some other time. Ooh, and I finally got a Ravelry invitation so I have been spending the last couple days on it. I am really surprised at how professional and comprehensive the site is—I totally did not expect that.

Calvin Klein Collection

I want to make this! I wonder if that huge sweater from the Vogue anniversary collection of patterns is based on this one..

Silver Belle update coming soon. I made some modifications—shorter + narrower sleeves, no cabling up the back, and a different but still undetermined collar—so progress has been a little stop-and-go. But things are looking good so far!

A Pantry Ballet

Joseph Cornell : A Pantry Ballet (for Jacques Offenbach), 1942

The kookiest thing ever—those are plastic lobsters dancing with tutus and spoons—and I cannot get enough of it!
