The beat goes on…
Even though I’m doing my best to deny it,
the New Year is almost upon us.
I’m not quite ready to burp that baby – this year has unfinished business galore! A trip to the Marination Chamber reveals several of what I will hereby refer to as *swatches* (but in fact are really pieces of abandoned projects).
Some of these swatches are close to finishing – a sock or two.
Some are quite ambitious. (This one MUST get finished. Somewhere. Somehow.)
Most are folly.
My Queen of Folly, the incredible non-edible Blingster, however, is almost finished. This lovely shell, who LONGS to ring in the New Year, is too advanced to be on the #66 bus anymore but is now the early morning/after work project. I wrote this pattern awhile back and since then have learned a thing or two developing another project, the elusive Nicole (who, because of my Ariann knitting deadline was viciously sidetracked. It missed its Christmas debut – I cry I weep. Whoever saw me wearing last year’s model, I apologize (not)).
Everything, including Queen Bling, will have its day eventually (this seems to be the lesson of 2006) and if I can just stay focused, might exceed expectations.
As you see above, the Back of Queen Bling is a modest scoop. This will reveal my lovely Little Drummer Girl tattoo, without scandalizing my more sensitive associates. The Front, however, is a different story…
Can’t wait for Queen Bling! Last years model was one of my faves! Just gorgeous!
Hope you had a Merry Christmas, Bonne, and a wonderful, blessed, and prosperous New Year!!
What a cute li’l butt on that model! And the Blingie Thingie ain’t bad either — you’ll be the Belle of the Ball on NYEve.
I cannot wait for the debut of this top. Ring it baby, ring it!
I’m looking forward to seeing that neckline! I like the back, that’s for sure.
I’m sorry to be so immature, but.. does your mannequin really have a hole where I think it has a hole??
Dude! Step away from the eggnog! Those are upholstery tacks…
Happy New Year, early!
