It Had To Happen Eventually....

Hehehe, that's right. I made that tiniest and most unmentionable of unmentionables. Well, maybe not tiniest, and maybe not the most unmentionable, but it definitely rates right up there! It took me half a week, believe it or not.

Here is the front.



And this is the back. It is resting on one of my shoes.


I haven't gotten up the nerve to actually wear it yet, but soon. And for those that are interested in the pattern it is the Frecklegirl Thong from Kn1t.com. I highly recommend knitting it to gauge at 8 st/inch, instead of going 10 st/inch like I did. I love the fabric it made but boy is it teeny!

Fresh From The Garden

I've been watching this beauty slowly unfurl for days. The day before yesterday it was a narrow green caterpillar peeking out of the sepals. Yesterday it was a narrow pale green tube.

This morning it was a limp, dangling thing. I've peeked at it intermittently all day and then all of a sudden this evening it was this fresh, perfect blossom.







Incidentally, it is a brugmansia (or Angel's Trumpet). The sap or juice from any part of this plant is toxic, but the flowers are intensely fragrant in addition to being delicately beautiful.

A Floppy Hat

I finished something! It is a floppy hat.

I dyed the yarn purple and blue and green (with white space between the colors). But I didn't care for it much once it was knitted, so I tried overdyeing with burgundy. (I expected two shades of purple, brown, and burgundy at the end). Instead, I got several shades of brown. I decided I liked it even better this way. And then of course I found this nice pattern Palisel that I was able to twist and turn to my own ends.






I wasn't entirely happy with the decreases, but they're much better than my first try and I was tired of messing with it.
