O W L S by Frump

Dear Readers,
Hi.  I've decided to kick off these co-blogging escapades with a finished knitting object...O W L S by Kate Davies!!!  This has been knitted up for about two months now, but I finally sewed the eyes on this evening during a thunderstorm.  In true "frump" fashion, I am wearing a wrinkled skirt and somewhat disheveled schoolmarm bun in front of a storm-soaked, fraying quilt that I've had since college.  I really really love the sweater...I really do...it's like blue velvety goodness on a cool mountain evening.  The yarn is one of my favorites...the price, saturated color and buttery softness are all just right in my opinion.  It's Bulky Merino from handpaintedyarn.com and I've got another batch of it in a gorgeous greyish pink (the actual color is called Pearl Ten) that will end up as another "Sedum" sometime soon.  I usually take notes on modifications on my Ravelry projects (theSongknitter) page, so here's the link.  Look for an "O W L S" inspired accessory from my co-blogger in crime sometime soon...for now, back to my 3:00 am toasted cheese sandwich cause I can't sleep!


Love,
Frump
