Since Knelley Really Does Knit . . .

I figured I'd show you some knitting today. No tooth talk. (Even though my mouth is still kind of sore and my jaw hurts when I open my mouth wide. I know, I know. Don't open your mouth wide then.)

Yesterday I went to my sister's house for a 4th of July/Graduation get-together with my family. While I was there, I knit this little ditty. It's with Wild Clover Mini Clutch from Webs. It's exactly the right size to hold a driver's license and credit card - exactly. The button isn't really a button. It's a glass bead that I sewed on loosely to act as my button. It works.

The pattern comes in two sizes, so I'll probably knit a maxi version next to hold my big girl stuff.

I've been meaning to show you my second Anthroplogie-Inspired Capelet-ish cardigan. This one is a six dollar sweater. 3 skeins of Bernat Softee Chunkee that were $1.98 each. I'm using my Leslie Wind sweater pin as the closure. Like it.

Emmie thinks that I've knit another fine resting place.

I'm good like that.

I've also been working on my black garter stitch version of the Anthropologie. It's . . . BO-RING. I like it and I know I'll wear it happily, but the knitting is a big ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz. I need to work on other things to break this one up. I'm determined to finish but . . . yawn.

When I was at my sister Kim's house yesterday, she tried on her Anthropologie - the one that's just like my first one. (Yes, I'll knit a different sweater pattern soon. I feel like I could knit this one blindfolded and upside down while wearing a straight jacket underwater.) She's happy with it and likes the fit, but I just need to lengthen the sleeves few inches to make her completely love it. I'll work on that today.

By the way, Kim is the sister who knits and who doesn't come to Thursday SnB, but really should. I told her yesterday that the SnB girls who were there last Thursday said I need to make her join us, but Kim insisted that I've never invited her. Wrong. I asked her to come after I first started going and knew I loved it. She says that didn't happen. It did. My mother and sister Kathy backed me up.

So . . . . Kim . . .
