Makes a Mutha proud

I’ve finished up a few things lately that I should really get up here. First we have the Endpaper Mitts from Eunny Jang as modeled by The Girl
She’s a study in pinks and blues. I’m curious about when this whole “gangsta” thing is going to be over with her and her friends. Anyway, I knit those in Louet Gems, caribou and aqua. I guess I used fingering weight? It used to be called Louet Gems Pearl. That’s how long those things were on the needles – I forgot the yarn. Nice.
I knit a sweater for Senor. He was cold and it’s way easier to knit a sweater for him than it is for Poopsie, The Fat Assed Beagle.
Doesn’t he look smart? Don’t worry, the pink is less humiliating than the fact that he no longer has balls. I did that up in some cheapo Lion’s Brand cashmere blend I had laying around. No pattern. I knit a ribbed tube, heh heh heh, with a rollneck and two button holes for his arms. It fits perfectly and he doesn’t even attempt to get it off. If his garments are even the slightest too big – most store bought clothes are – he’s out like Houdini.
Let me see…I got some picks of the neck steek on Fyne right before I realizd I had fucked up the placement by one stitch and had to rip it back
Things are going much better now but I am worrying about how to do the back neck steek. I am trying not to think about it ’til I get there. I know. Good luck. I’ve been dreaming about the god damned thing.
Lastly, Grandma. Swan Lake was a huge hit. She ran all around her retirement home showin’ the ladies. They oohed and aahed over the stitches and the beads and the fact that her Granddaughter knit it BY HAND! Big gold star for Holly! She’s excited to wear it everywhere but especially while she’s smokin’ the other residents at cards.
I started another hat for Mr. but no pics at this time. Later.

Steeks! Meh. Requires some tequila to get through for me, at least the cutting part. I’ve heard tell of crocheted steeks, gotta figure out how to do ‘em in case I ever want to try this again, which I am sure I will.
your grandma looks tres chic.
