Thanks for the suggestions on the fabric. I love the idea of a halter dress! There were some other really good ones, too. I hope to find a halter dress pattern that uses the right amount of yardage. Suggestions will always be welcome!!
I am a little disappointed that no one really noticed the paintings (not fishing for compliments!). I guess it's not really a style everyone can appreciate, though, and this IS a knitting blog, so it's not too shocking. And I'm such a poor photographer, I had no hope of doing them justice!
Anyway, no fo yet! Dusty's socks are getting there. I am over 50% done, probably almost 70%. I need to figure out how to do the progress bars on the new format.
Question!!: Would one skein of Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock be enough for a pair of ankle socks for size 5, 5.5 US feet? Or for gloves for small hands?
The new IK preview is up, and I think it's gonna be a great one! I'll go over the things I like.
Entrelac socks! Love 'em!I don't know how many times I have said Eunny Jang is a genius, but she really is!
Ribs and Lace Tank looks like a pretty design, but probably not one I'll knit. The photo doesn't really show enough, but generally tanks do not look good on me. Plus, it's really long.
The Green Tea Raglan looks simple, classic, and very wearable! I really like it. Down side is all boring st. st., but will be good for reading and knitting.
I like the shape of the Dollar and a Half cardi, wish I could see the detail. The jury's still out on this one.
The Bonsai Tunic looks like another very pretty design that is not wearable for me.
The Swan Lake cardigan is another of those that I need to see in better detail to decide, but looks promising.
I like the Slanted Neck Pullover, but someone posted on the knitting comm. that people would go around telling you that you'd messed up on it. What do you think?
I love the Clementine Shawlette, and that is also my grandmother's middle name. I've been thinking to knit her a shawl, perhaps this is The One?
Love the Cable Down Raglan!! Stefani Japel is an amazing designer!
The Ruffled Surplice is nice. I like the airy feel of it, and of course, the wrap styling.
I love the Keyhole Top! Love, love, love it! Unfortunately, I don't think it would be flattering on me. But I love it!
I can't tell the stitch pattern on Grumperina's socks, but I adore the color enough to say that it's a great pattern, hehe. I must find a skein or two of LL in that color, just for me!

Thanks for the link!
I am sorry you didn't get comments on your paintings! Often I find I am just too busy to comment on blogs these days, even though I read them. Did you draw the image first and then paint over it? My fave's the last one.
