What a beastly piece of knittery.
Turkish Delight hat! Also no pattern... I'm not quite sure where these things come from...

Ehh, who needs things to match? Yay for synthetic yarn!!!
ARMWARMERS!!!
My favorite thing in the world.
Sadly these armwarmers are severely lacking in finishedness... Curse you, deceptive 70 gram ball of tan yarn.
Darn, now I have to go back to Wallmart...
Ugh.

Classy though, if I do say so myself! They remind me of pencils...
Oh wait, I forgot! This is no ordinary worsted weight shot in the dark sweater! This is a novelty item!! See my school has this great marching band that I absolutely would marry if it were possible to marry 120 people at once...
Sadly I am prevented from being a part of the beauty...but just until they write a violin solo for me (oh wait, violins and brass...hmm).

I say "Oh wait" a lot.

Anyway since I can't be IN marching band, I do the next best thing: knit sweaters supporting them.

Marching Band Groupie Forever!!

MBGF...

So it is possible to make a sweater out of worsted weight yarn! Who would have guessed?
Also I didn't have a pattern. This was a shot in the dark on many levels. The neck hole is a little small... oh well! Notes for the next one!
I find that I work better without a pattern. I know what I want it to look like (in my head), so I just keep trying things until they turn out right!
Right now I'm attempting at starting up a profitable business selling my knittery (and also getting the word "knittery" patented. Or not).
Maybe selling patterns even?

Nah too much work.
