The FO, modeled

Remember back when I knit that sweater for a coworker's baby? Well, now she's big enough to wear it, and it's cute as anything. :)

Here is the lovely Baby J, modeling the Super-Natural Stripes cardi!

Successes of the day

1. First, and biggest, we had the first meeting of MIT Stitch 'n' Bitch West, which I formed to augment the MIT Stitch 'n' Bitch in a place where those of us out in the west end of campus could easily attend. Two other women showed up. Another had intended to, but forgot her knitting due to forgetting what day it was (darn holiday weeks). Another woman saw us working and decided to come sometime, even though she hadn't responded to my feeler e-mail. Others were too busy. Still, success!

2. I ordered a handle for my Brea Bag, at last. I had frogged and redone the gusset, but it ended up too long. I am now finishing it again. I should be able to start sewing it together soon. First, though, I'll have to trace the pieces onto the liner fabric, sew the liner pieces together, and then I can sew them to the inside of the bag.

3. Realized that--duh! There are groups specifically for busty knitters on Ravelry. WHY I never thought to look for some is beyond me. I will have to join at least one of them.

Yay for productive knittitude!
