WIPs 05 April 2011

The Creator has been busy in his little crafty room and beyond. I'm not taking a picture of this crafty room right now as The Creator needs to take some serious time to straighten clean up this room. He needs to seriously work on that. Plastic people need to live in a sparkling clean environment. I think 'NSync gurl lost herself in a box of yarn or fiber. I think it is the one with the lid on over there underneath the box of yarn that came in a few days ago. I should have Horbert search for her. But then again, I enjoy the peace and quiet. While it is quiet, let's discuss current works in progress.

The Creator has been working on the Basil Vest in Navy. He has worked the striped pattern on the front and completed all the neck decreases. The rest is on string waiting for the back to be completed. He has the first stripe done in back. The pattern doesn't call for stripes in the back. I think he should have left the stripe out. But, he thinks the vest will be balanced front and back with the stripe. I'm still out on the judgement of that alteration.



Here is an closeup of the stripes. I don't know if I'm happy with the color The Creator has chosen for these stripes. They don't blend. I guess I will have to judge this one when it comes off the needles as well.



The Creator also actively works on the Falling Water Scarf with his crafty little fingers. Remember the blue-green hand-dyed genius in Alpaca Silk? Here's a picture to refresh memories.



Here I am with the current scarf. It is a bit short and looks like an askew cravat.



Here a closeup of the stitch definition. It's unblocked and to make the scarf more manly, The Creator didn't make it as lacy as he could have. Now, I don't like all this pattern alterations. He should use larger needles and make this more lacy. But does a lacy scarf work on a man? I'm still out on the judgement on this topic as well.



Last, he has those socks. He hasn't worked a stitch on them. Can't he get them done and completed??? Oh wait, I don't really care about those. I don't have feet to model those.
