Vibeology
Ms. Marigold is finished!
Pensive pose.
Leslie also said I looked emo. Har.
I love love love it! It fits perfectly, the yarn I used (Shine Sport) is comfy, and it's cute for work (see above) or going out (see below).
Probably the karaoke bar is NOT the best place for a photo shoot.
I wore it to karaoke last night and we tried to create a photo shoot where our friend Heath was like TOTALLY overwhelmed by the coolness of my sweater, but instead we just looked insane. However, the karaoke bar in town is a stinky old dive (and I mean that in the BEST way possible), so we weren't even the most insane-looking people there.
I did make some poor karaoke choices: Groove is in the Heart (the crowd liked it, but it's HARD TO SING. and there's a rap in the middle.) and Vibeology, by Paula Abdul. Some of you may be familiar with Paula Abdul's album Spellbound, which included such hits as "Blowing Kisses in the Wind" and "Rush, Rush". My sister and I LOVED THAT CD - it was one of our first CDs. Vibeology was NOT A HIT. But I was so excited to see it in the catalog that I sang it anyways, and it was towards the end of the night when everyone was all drunky so everybody danced around. Leslie also videoed the ridiculousness on my camera, but I think that will remain on my camera and never be shown to anyone else. Except maybe my sister.
Anyways. Sorry I don't have a better picture of Ms. Marigold, but she is fabulous and I love her. I think I will make another very soon.
Yay.

That picture is hialrious. It reminds me of a picture from a Sadie Hawkins dance from high school where my "date" and I wore matching shirts. He was gay so we didn't want to do the standing there holding onto each other pose like we were a couple. Instead, we did this, "Oh my god! we're wearing the same shirt!" kind of thing. Me holding onto my shirt and him pointing at me with this look of disbelief. Seemed good in theory, but it didn't really translate that well onto film. Oh well.

Do you happen to know how to sew fabric to yarn/a knitted piece? I am knitting a pillow and I want to border it with fabric. Any info would be great - thanks!

I just LOVE your "expressive" photos - your knitting is just too much - you finish everything and they always look great!!

Marigold! She is lovely and fits you perfectly.

1. You knit quickly. Don't protest! You do. That's like two tops you've finished in the space of time it's taken me to finish one.
2. You're smart. You can wear your two knits. The one I knit is getting ripped.
3. That's all. You may proceed with whatever you were doing.

What a sexy little top! I love it; it provides awesome layering possibilities.
And believe it or not: I owned the Vibeology tape and have the song "Vibeology" in itunes. Did you sing the part where she goes "horny horns!"
Posted by Becky | July 1, 2006 6:25 AM
Sheesh. While you seem to be making something new every other day, I am ripping things out on a daily basis! Ms. Marigold looks lovely. Great work!

Ms. Marigold is gorgeous, and gorgeous on you. I intend to make that pattern next! Sadly, I will not fill it out the same way. I am definitely up for karaoke next time!!!
Posted by courtney | June 30, 2006 11:25 AM

Ms. Marigold looks great! I've been thinking about knitting this pattern, and your cute version may have just pushed me to finally do it...

Test?
Posted by C | June 30, 2006 9:40 AM
It looks great on you!
Posted by Kim | June 29, 2006 6:33 PM
It looks awesome!!! I can't wait to finish mine.
Posted by carole | June 29, 2006 5:53 PM
PS- I think Rush Rush was my fav of that album, but only because Keanu was in the video and I > Keanu.
PPS- hook Anne Marie up with Heath. He's cute.
Posted by Lara | June 29, 2006 5:44 PM
Marigold looks amazing!! It fits you perfectly!! I want one!

Posted by sarah | June 29, 2006 4:46 PM
I'm SO going to have Groove is in the Heart stuck in my head for the rest of the day! And I for one love the karaoke photo shoot!
Posted by dani | June 29, 2006 4:22 PM
Heath looks astounded by your beauty, not insane. Ms. Marigold is fabulous and now I want one. Stat!
Posted by Sil | June 29, 2006 3:12 PM
That is Paula Abdul's BEST ALBUM EVER! (Though perhaps that's not saying much...)
Posted by Karen | June 29, 2006 2:59 PM
Dude. Groove is in the Heart is SO hard to sing.
But Ms. Marigold is SO easy on the eyes. Beautiful job!
Posted by Michelle | June 29, 2006 2:49 PM
I started singing that song in my head when I read the title of your post! Glad I am not the only one who still remembers that album.
Great sweater too...makes me want to reconsider making one myself.
Posted by Anita | June 29, 2006 2:31 PM
Looks amazing! Love it so much. And the karaoke bar shot is hilarious. I almost wet myself giggling.
Posted by Skylar | June 29, 2006 2:06 PM
Oops. I forgot to tell you that I LOVE your sweater! Good job!
Posted by Cathy | June 29, 2006 2:05 PM
I like GINA. She pointed out that I ordered a Miss Marigold sweater.
I think you are very emo. My 9th graders think that Romeo in Romeo and Juliet is emo, and you remind me of him.
Posted by Cathy | June 29, 2006 2:04 PM
HAWT indeed! Great job!
Posted by amanda | June 29, 2006 2:03 PM
Miss Marigold is very flattering. I think your sister put in an order for one...
Posted by Gina | June 29, 2006 1:58 PM
Dahhhhrrrling - it is fabulous!
Posted by AmyP | June 29, 2006 1:49 PM
Ms. Marigold is fabulous. It is cool to see you in a picture taken in your natural habitat.
Who is your cute friend, Heath?
