Almost finish with my top-down raglan sweater(Glampyre's pattern)....I made the sleeves wider for a Kimono effect..this pic is pre-cardigan...hopefully I will be cutting it open with the no-sew steeks method today!!Yeah!!!...this was a cool sweater to knit for my first completed project for myself,lol...For my birthday last week(11/11) I purchased a digital camera(from Gateway) so I can stop being sooo bootleg by taking pics with my webcam(see a sista will get creative),lol..I also purchased a new pair of eyeglasses..they are very funky..so as soon as that camera arrives..and I go across the hall to my neighbor the photographer and he will show me how to use it(cause yall know I'm soo not reading the directions,lol) then I will become a picture taking fool....lol!!!


New music news...Don't sleep on Floerty's Live CD "Floacism"..it comes with a dvd of a live concert performance....I love them!!!

It seems it's all about the cable...


and found this to be rather interesting it's knitted then goldleaf is applied for a crackle effect..


Last nite I was invited to the Ballet and to an AMFAR Benefit(local designers decorated tabletops) by the lady that owns my new LYS...she sent a driver in a Lincoln towncar to pick me up(I could get sooo use to that)..anywhoo..we decided to skip the first two dance movements to have drinks at Bellas(very cool bar) on the advice of someone who saw the performance the nite before(we shouldn't have listened)they said the first two acts were boring...it wasn't...after she wanted food(from a very expensive restaraunt)...at this point I realize that I have been kidnapped..and that I wouldn't be seeing my pooch(Yohji) anytime soon,lol...so off we went..I had a wonderful time..met some cool people and drank ALOT(Antonio u would have been proud!!)...and of course I woke up feeling sooo unholistic like...so off to breakfast with my pooch to my girlfriends coffeehouse for waffles...and a specially prepared egg for Yohji(that dog is sooo spoiled....but he made mama proud..he was better behaved than the kids present,lol...I have totally digressed..this post is about cables...having drinks last nite we discussed cashmere and cables..she wants a cable scarf out of cashmere..and I want a throw...I think that I have come full circle with this post....lol

Ok I just came back from watching the Matrix Resolution...Now I know that I can't be the only obsessed knitter who notices the sweaters folks wear on screen,lol...I found myself wonderinig if the holey sweaters they were wearing were made out of cotton,or ramie,lol..and also wondering how they made the holes..because they didn't look like yarn overs, and how did they control the runs,lol...so I wanna know do any of yall notice knitwear in movies...my fave so far has been the sweater Samuel L Jackson wore in Formula 51(he was wearing a Kilt throughout the movie as well)...some kind of diagonal cables..just fabulous!!!lol


Ok..faithful bloggers...can you name some good knitwear Movies....Ms Glampyre once mentioned Gosford park..I rented it..but I didn't notice any sweaters....so let me hear your observations!!!
