Pollack Pantyhose
In case you couldn't guess the outcome of yesterday's mohair boucle mystery...
I fell short with my approximately 250 yards, and add to the insult, my work came off the needles sometime between lunch and my arrival home. Actually, this could be a blessing. Since I have to rip back, the shawl has kindly started the work iteself. Of course, I dare not be so cavaliere, because this is mohair boucle.
See you in the nuthouse.
Something else this is driving me nutty: Knitscene from Interweave. I finished my little neckwarmer, minus weaving in the ends, and I have to say that it looks nary like the model's.
In short, I hate it. I hate the time I wasted on it. And I hate the money spent on the yarn to make a crap-tastic "quick-knit".
This week, I'm doing a short on-site freelance job with a friend. As a testament to my love for my friend, as well as my gratitude for work, I donned p...p...pantyhose!
Finding them was nothing short of an excavation, not to mention that I'd poked three holes into the blasted things before I even had them over my ass. I fished out some nailpolish from the recesses of the linen closet, and I went to town -- creating a splatter-paint bonanza in an attempt to stop the laddering. Since the halcyon days of my Ally McBeal/Melrose Place skirt lengths are long gone, my artistry was well-hidden. Otherwise, I would have had to invent some story about Pollack-inspired pantyhose as the Fall Fashion Trend.
Speaking of fashion trends, I am hot for the Hello Dolly! looks in the Winter 2005 Vogue Knitting -- right down (up?) to the insane lavishness of those hats and plumes. I've longed maintained that my fashion sense is not in line with the modern age. You'll not catch me prancing around in Juicy Couture, pube-baring low riders, or any of that nonsense. Granted, petticoats and corsets are probably the original fashion nonsense, but at least you're not looking like a plumber or a hooker. Admittedly, there's a bit of hooker-quality to some Victorian wear, but at least it's a bit more "high-brow", if you will. Besides, I'd skip the petticoats and corsets anyway. I bet they're as gruelling as pantyhose.
