Finished the body of the Gray Slinky and have moved on to the sleeves. I am beginning to wonder about the wisdom of knitting myself a garment that will render me looking even more pear-shaped than usual, but I'm hoping that blocking and actual wear will make the ribbing less drawn-in. Perhaps that and a good push-up bra will suffice.
I've also been trying to find ways to use up my Knit Pick's Chroma, since I've discovered they are disastrous as sock yarn. I'm making a modified version of the Lily Cuffs from the "Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders" book, modified because doing two-stitch cables in sock yarn is completely maddening to me... so I did a stretch of ribbed cuff in pattern, and for the arm I've switched to plain stockinette. I plan to do more ribbed cuff at the top.
These are also going to be extra-long, to cover more arm and use up the whole skein.
This Sunday is the premiere of "True Blood" season four, and I will be casting on my "real" Vlad scarf for that. I'll be doing it in "Warlock" by Twisted Fiber Arts, which I think will be apropos for the season if the theme follows the books at all.
