I love this knit. I loooooove it. I wear it often.

Mean Green is progressing, I'm knitting on this during my tv time/HP6 re-read. I'm almost ready for sleeve 2. Yay! I can't wait to have this baby done.

Shuttle? Well, the word is it's gonna be Tuesday. Yay.
No more of this waiting around.

Further proof that people go way too far and have got too much time on their hands.

Kiri looks awesome! You are whippin' that baby out!

Love your chicken - but, um, HOW did you find that site??? And hey - that thing about people who go way too far and have too much time... you have got to go see the picture of the woman who made MATCHING Martha Stewart Ponchos for herself and her pet RAT. I am not kidding. www(dot)rose-kim(dot)com/rose-kimknits (NOTE: site owner is not poncho woman.)

Your Kiri is gorgeous Heather. Good luck on the launch too! Hopefully it will go off or Up! w/out a hitch.

The chicken is kinda scary. Did you say HP6 re-read? Wow. Kiri looks amazing of course :)

Your Kiri is going to be very snuggly. I like the heavier weight yarn.

Holy chicken suit!... that is one strange looking knit object. And what a waste of some perfectly good yarn!

Must.make.one.for.mine.

ooh, kiri is very pretty!!!

Awesome!!! LOVE the bolero btw.. I don't remember if I mentioned that. The chickensuit cracked me up. Yippie for Tuesday. You know what a nerd Greg is, I mentioned to him that the shuttle would launch on Tues, thinking I was being all smart and he looked at me and said, well yeah. So it seems he has been paying close attention. lol. I am thinking my party tonight will provide me with some extra $ in which case I will be buying a needle kit, VERY excited about this. That means I'll have all the needles I'll need!

Ha! I forgot about that rooster picture... omg, that is too funny!

I love the Kiri--it is knitting up SO fast!

Can't wait to see Mean Green too--you have some great projects going on :)

H, your Kiri looks awesome! Great job. You go girl!

Launch baby...Launch!!!

I'm all for finding new creative knit applications, but even my warped mind would never come up with a chicken sweater. But I'm glad there are people who are wild enough to dream this stuff up!

Go Kiri!!

Posted by: Li at July 22, 2005 10:55 AM

Very pretty Kiri! You are making really good progress on it. It's going to be great done in cotton.

Posted by: Karen at July 22, 2005 12:04 PM

Love that shawl! Looking great!! :)

Look at you kickin' some major booty on your new found lace love, it looks rad! Where in the world did you find that chicken site, I can't get the images out of my head, and my husband is laughing histarically right now!

Posted by: sarah at July 24, 2005 04:27 PM

H thanks for the drinkies and nibbiles suggestions. I didn't managed to get them in time but i will surely try them next knit night. I am so glad your getting heaps of wear out of the black bolero! There is nothing better than knitting something you actually wear out of the house!! You go girl.
