block o' burger

Shhhh...the burger is blocking...

finally an excuse to break out the board!

Well, while my roommate was away, I blocked the burger last night in the living room.  I thought about stuffing it under the sofa so he wouldn't see...but I left it out since it should be dry today and I will be able to put it away.  I still have the fringe to put on, but it's turned out pretty cute! 

Note to self:  next time, use both needles plus one smaller to cast on.  The cast on side wound up tighter than the cast off side.

I can't wait to give the finished product to MF!  Wonder if I can find one of those styrofoam-like bottoms and wrap it in plastic!  That would be a funny wrapping... ^_^

burger for a veggie

Hmmm, I've been away entirely too long.  I've since finished my hourglass sweater (pics to come b/c I'd like to block it somewhat, and truth be told, I'm not in love with the neckline...)  I haven't been able to knit much and this makes for one crabby person.  Combine that with other factors in the equation and it's not a good outcome.  I couldn't leave work fast enough today.

So, an update...the lastest project is a scarf!  It's for MF (not for me!) and it was sitting on the counter near the kitchen.  Mamma Jean (MF's mom) kept thinking it was hamburger and wondered what it was doing out on the counter in such warm weather!!  Well and MF is a vegetarian.  hahahaha.  But now it's known as the burger scarf...see what she means?

extra lean ground beef I tell ya

But here's really more of what it looks like:

I'm really liking the reds/pinks/oranges!

And of course you want to see a close up, don't you?

Ahhh, so I feel much better after posting, and I'm in for some good knitting time and catching up on everyone's blogs tonight.  (Sorry Eastside Stitchers that I didn't go to group night tonight, but you really would be happy I stayed at home this time ^_~.)
