coming this weekend – a new ChicKnits Pattern!

In the venerable ChicKnits Tradition, one cannot let a holiday pass without some New Threads. So while I’m hustling to finish my Wavy Bulb (and thank god, it’s still cold), I snuck in this pulli, which I call: Gigi. It’s a little frisky, a little flirty and very pretty. This model was made using Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece yarn with a gauge of 5 sts / 7 rows per inch.

It was my Easter outfit with a little squiggly polka dot print skirt.

I actually wore hose! Which I love but generally, on a daily basis, do not love me!

Last KIP, I was knitting like a machine, trying to finish this lovely lady. I was a maniac – I could feel the clock ticking – I couldn’t even pay attention to the conversations around me and probably sounded insane when I tried to speak! Go Bonne GO! It’s always a race to the finish line around the holidays here – someday, when I save enough money to get the professional POV I need, I will ask about this Holiday Garment Obsession. Until then, I believe I’m safe until, what, the Fourth of July?!!!

GIGI: I took it with me everywhere – worked into the wee hours finagleing the neckline until I got it just so. I had this design stuck in my mind for several months, just haven’t had

the Little BAD MUSE aguil3.gif whispering those sweet nothings in my ear that generally START MY ENGINES.

But now it’s DONE! And wonder of wonders, it’s left me with some BAD SPRING FEVER! Warm weather? Bring it on!

Monday Morning Mirth

After reading one of my favorite author’s meanderings over at William Gibson’s blog for awhile now, it suddenly occurred to me that other CELEBRITIES probably have glommed onto the Blogging Craze with a passion. Me wonders if these are the new PR engine of the century or just the *Hollywood Squares* graveyard for those who need a new lease on their populist life!?

So, maintaining the fine tradition of enabling SLACKING anywhere, anytime, I offer you the following:

Melanie Griffith
“…Stop me – I’m on my way to becoming a Goddess even as I read!”

Beck
“…Really nice design!”

And one for Theresa:
Barenaked Ladies
“…the Schick Razor Entry is what blogging is all about!”

And one for ME:
William Shatner
“…my mentor, the one the only THE MAN”

Please leave your favorite reads in the comment section below and ENABLE ME to Your Slack-a-tron!
