The same day my beloved trouble4hire took workout pics of me, she also took pictures of the fantastic Pretty Fucking Princess doll teratomarty made me.

I know you've been dying to see pictures. The wait is finally over!

So, as I wrote, on Sunday morning, I finished the vest I had been making for 7j for several months.
Apparently, this is typical. Apparently this is the time in the end of the summer when knitters start knitting again because it starts to get cool. Neat! Having this project done is also energizing me and making me want to start another project for fall - another vest, or a cozy shawl.

Anyway, now there are pictures!

So, I am making 7j a vest for her birthday. Since this is my first vest, I thought that I would start by making the same pattern for my teddy bear. I thought that this would give me good experience with the techniques I would be using, as well as being a good crash-course in vest pattern alteration, without requiring as much work to do over, if doing over proved necessary. The pattern is written for a large-ish man, which 7j is not. Obviously, neither is my bear. *grin*

It went pretty well. I would recommend this approach for anyone else nervous about making a new project for the first time. I think that I have gotten most of my anxiety out of the way. And now, this is what I know you've all been waiting for.

I also recently finished a sampler scarf for ayalanya but I am still waiting for her to take a picture of it. And, I did take a picture of my matching hat and scarf set, but now I can't find it.

In other upcoming projects, I am also planning to make myself some mittens to go with the hat and scarf, as well as a shawl for myself from some lovely yarn redjo got me for my birthday a while back.

Thought you would all enjoy some pics by and of me from this winter. If you want a larger version, click on the picture.

I didn't edit them (except for turning them rightside up, if applicable). I'm kind of anal about picture editing, so this is the only way you would get to see them this month.

Happy happy!

Edit: bbbsg very reasonably points out that these might not be work safe. I guess it kind of depends where you work. If that sounds worrymaking to you, wait till later...
