Knitting

[pixiecrinkle]

The sweater is officially half finished. Here's a photo.

This is the back of it. I got about 4 rows of ribbing done on the front this evening. Ribbing just takes it's toll on my wrists a lot faster than straight knitting, because of all the yarn overs. Six more rows of that and then it's stockinette stitch for about twenty years.

I went a litle photo happy with the digital camera tonight. Here's the other shots:

My brand new kitchen bulletin board (clearance sales at Target are dangerous! That's a new sale priced plant too.)

The paperwhite bulbs I'm forcing, which got a little photosensitive (and a bit phallic) today apparantly. STS got me these for Christmas.

The tattoo design I'm considering. Those are origami cranes. It would (will?) go on my right shoulder blade, and will hopefully include a bit more shading.

That's a lot of line work on the tattoo. I don't know if I would end up with that many cranes once all was said and done.

Yeah, considering I passed out twice during my first tattoo, which isn't nearly so large, and is just blackwork, I've been a bit skittish about actually undertaking that.

Yeah -- the shading wouldn't be bad, but the lines. Ow. I have a tattoo similar to my icon, and the line work was a bit much for my pain threshold.
