At long last, my boobs have a holder
Boobholder redux is finally finished. I had to rip and reknit the bottom part several times, making it tighter each time in order to eke out enough yarn to get it long enough. It's now perfect - a tad bit tight but I think that unlike last spring, the blocking will cause it to stretch out just enough to fit perfectly, rather than growing so big that my (little) boobs swim around.
Too bad it's too cold for cap sleeves right now.
Specs: pattern from Glampyre; I modified the sleeves by not making them puffy; yarn is 100% merino, recycled of course, and dyed orange by me. This is the same yarn I made the Clapotis with, just dyed a different colour. Pretty good haul for a two dollar secondhand sweater, eh?
You probably won't hear too much from me over the weekend, and here's why:
My beloved is here.
Tomorrow we're having Thanksgiving dinner (November seems like such a stupid time to have Thanksgiving. . . ) at Hockey Mom's, then we're all going to see Bauhaus in Atlanta (yes, Peter and I are now at that age where we've become a "music of your life" target market. Bauhaus and Gang of Four and other such groups all touring at once, it's like a Gen-X Big Chill, isn't it?). I do plan on doing some work in the studio while Pete's here, but if you don't see any new studio pictures on Saturday then we probably decided to spend the whole day in bed instead. Y'all can deal with that, right?

I love the sweater, wish I could carry one off but I don't think I can, too many bits that need holding underneath the boob.
Also really loving your hair, the colour and the length are really doing cool things to your face (not that you haven't always looked great!), your photos are really lovely at the moment! That sounds really odd and stalkerish but I hope you get the gist, I'm sick so probably babbling...
Have a great weekend! ;o)

The 'holder looks great! As for Thanksgiving in November, hey, giving thanks is great. But doing so in October allows me the time to forget by December why one shouldn't ingest quite so much food at one time...

Enjoy Thanksgiving AND having Peter there.
Best to you both!

Thats hot. You'll probably be able to wear it soon though. You are in GA. It can't actually get that cold can it?

I love your boob holder. I also really like the direction your art is going in right now. In fact last week, after reading your blog, I went upstairs to push myself. My sewing lines are looking alot like your woodcut lines. you can see a bit here: http://www.melanietesta.com/mtype/archives/000150.html
I so wish I could get my hands in a piece of your work and add to it. I would love to send you a start of my own...

WE can deal with it...can YOU?
Heh.

So. Hot. And I have to echo what Anna said, I am totally digging your hair as well.
Hope you have a delicious weekend, seems like it would be difficult to have anything but.

Your boobs must be so relieved! Nice photos -- the blue sheet/curtain behind you in the top one makes it look kind of like a full-length photo booth shot.
