Boyfriend sweater, boyfriend scarf, boyfriend cat... Madli shawl
The very hunky postman (he has tattoos! *growl*) brought me a nice ol' box of yarn yesterday. In it was the 20 hanks of Classic Elite 03 Tweed I bought from ye olde elann.com, colorway "reindeer." It is most satisfactory, not scratchy at all, nice and slubby, and will be perfect for my very own adaptation of Rhapsody in Tweed from the Fall 2004 IK (scroll down about 1/3 for the picture). The boyfriend wants a cardigan, I wanted something cabled and ribby, so I'll be taking out the front cable and changing the collar and making something hopefully non-ugly. And something that gets done.
This is Reggie, the boyfriend's cat. I suppose he's my cat now, too. I'm his mommy. I promise you I won't start posting cat pictures, but Reggie insisted that he be the one to show off my progress on the Interlocking Balloons scarf from Scarf Style. That's almost three hours worth of knitting, folks. It is the most complicated scarf ever to grace the Earth. This scarf may very well be for the boyfriend. He deserves pretty things.
So, here's Madli's Shawl, all finished. It's biiig.
