MG: deep breaths

research stress and deadlines kicking my butt. not much knitting. here is a footie i'm on the verge of frogging. i may or may not be displacing frustration:


proof i finished Karenina but had trouble getting good photos (lack of light, PJs, and all):

MG: boobholder's debut

boobholder was washed (shampoo & conditioner) and lightly blocked last night. today is her debut into the world.


it's a bit big, as you can see; it hangs limply around my ribs rather than hug them. despite that, i'm delighted with it. it's perfect for Berkeley weather, fun to knit (elegant circular construction), and cute. thanks to an excellent Glampyre Pattern.

specs: 3 balls of Elann Peruvian Wool in Victorian Violet. Glampyre Minisweater pattern with reduced rows for sizing (pattern is modification-friendly).
