hopefulI'm not feeling the footwear love for these the way I expected to. $36 shipped anywhere (they're $37.90 from DollHeart, plus shipping).
In other news, I'm on a wide-striped oversized sweater kick. Now that I've worked out the math to make the stripes line up, it seems like a waste not to knit several sweaters from this pattern, you know? Finished: black alternating with a red/rust/black marl, Dollshe size. In progress: barn red alternating with a chestnut/red heather, Dollshe size; vanilla marl alternating with caramel marl, probably SD13 boy size (the sizing question depends on how this yarn knits up and blocks). I'm not sure I want to sell any of these--I'm feeling strangely attached to them, hm. We shall see what we shall see. ^_^
Agness Elf Choa (a.k.a. Nessa, because I have an aunt-by-marriage named Ag[nes] and don't want to use living relatives' names) should be here soon from Karen C. . . . Psyche/Kanan is going in the mail to
thelyn this morning, assuming that I can get away from the office for the requisite length of time . . . I have 26 remedial-comp papers to grade before tomorrow, and 52 Fulbright applications to read before Friday morning . . . on the bright side, I do have the final exam written for the remedial comp classes, and it won't take much to assemble the final exam for my Restoration/18c. drama class.Two weeks and four days before my leave starts. Two weeks and four days. Two weeks and four days.
And tempting me with sweaters when I'm in this position is just mean.
(hit enter too quick)
And I suddenly had a moment of sheer panic as I left the post office: I didn't actually, you know, unwrap the head to make sure it's a Saiki instead of the other head that Minawa-san makes; I just pulled it out of the Celga box and stuffed it in with the body. But I have faith in her quality control! I do!
*eep*
Will send you email later about colors and stuff. I keep seeing brightish clear colors for her to play off of Saiki's neutral browns.
Congratulations on Agness !*!**!
She was one of my early favorites !**!!* Oooh!
Can't wait to see her with your beautiful group !*!*
ooh! Can't wait to see your sweaters too!!*!*!
I remember was it just last year? or two years ago now?
your work is beautiful! I hope you do some hats and scarves again too!
xoox
I was just flipping through my pattern notebook last night, and ran across the specs for those hats and scarves--I really do need to go back to those sometime! *adding to the "to knit" list*
and Yah for time off! I'm counting the days too, it will be good to have a break from school. Darn teachers making us students suffer so before the holidays ;)
Congrats on the new doll! It is raining resin around here, can't keep track of what everyone is getting!
or just something nice in earthen tones would be good, it would go with the outfit he's getting for Christmas (I'm so bad, but I'm having fun buying them all outfits)
