Amost Done

These are the two sweaters I've been knitting, modelled by my kids' guitars. On the left is a bulky, drop-shoulder hoodie, and on the right is a sweater that I actually completed a few months ago, except that the neckline stretched out so I'm re-knitting it as a hood.

They are the reason I've had nothing to show for a while. Just a whole lotta stockinette going on.

To break up the serious monotony, I knitted three cupcake paperweights, and this little crocheted purse.

It's really tiny, more like a coin purse.

I simply crocheted a circle for the base, and sc'd the sides. I could've sc'd the icing, but I picked up sts and knitted the top instead, because it's a pain to crochet fluffy yarn. Anyway, no decreases for the top - just bind off when it looks about right. I threaded a silk cord through it, and hid the ends inside crocheted beads.


Okay (deep breath), back to the remaining sweater...
