the ultimate neglect

Here are the few things I have done since February, which I have already ripped out. Even with my new policy of only pulling out legitimate mistakes I managed to accomplish almost nothing in 3 months.

 

This is the third iteration of this sweater. Still too short and misshapen.

 

Here is the base of an alpaca lace sweater that I already knit up and ripped out 3 times. I was totally winging it, and it took a lot of experimentation to find a suitable lace pattern. This particular version created strange gaps between the lace repeats. Later versions were lacking sufficient positive and negative space.

 

It was also a little too scalloped at the bottom. There was no real focus on scallops in the pattern, so it mostly just resembled a mistake. So I treated it like one and ripped it out. Since sipping out two more versions, I'm almost done with the current usable one.

Fortune Teller Swap

I swap with Swap-bot!
I called these things fortune tellers, if they got called anything at all. There are lots of things in life that I don't have words for. Like these. It's a Cootie Catcher Swap. I honestly didn't know what it was for until I clicked on the swap because I didn't call them anything most of the time.
So mine is fun and exciting. I hope so, at least. It was totally fun to make. Flickr pictures tomorrow.

Crochet Hook Roll

I swap with Swap-bot!
Here's another one I'm sending out tonight. I made lots of slots for hooks. The pictures will be posted on my flickr later - maybe tomorrow.
