It's Official..

I cast on for my version of Knitty's Honeymoon Cami last night.. My Shine didn't quite knit up to the gauge that the pattern says (Which I expected.) But it turns out to be a great thing.. I got 5.75 stitches to the inch.. and knitting the second to smallest size (Size Small?) in my gauge makes the cami turn out to be 29.7".. Which just happens to be my tiny bust measurement.. SCORE! So I'm pleased.. And I'm also pleased that I'm skilled enough with knitting to know that, and make it work to my advantage.

So I'm on row 4.. Which would be why there are no pictures.. and incase anyone was wondering.. I went with coloring option 1.. But if anyone has any better ideas, please let me know.

I think when I get to the stripes I'll try making the "jogless jog" or whatever it is they call it.. cause as there are no seams, a weird jog on one side of me would look.. well.. weird! Lol.

But anyway.. I have other knitting news..

I got to go to my favorite yarn store in Houston.. (Yarns 2 Ewe) Aunt Faye (The one who first taught me to knit) called and asked if I'd go with her.. How could I turn that down? It was so different being there without my men urging me to get done and get out of there. We looked at eeeeeverything.. Fuzzy yarn, sparkley yarn, yarn with baubles and eyelashes.. every kind of yarn you could imagine.

I was a good girl.. I didn't buy anything.. Suprising? Yes. But we really can't afford it.. and I didn't want to call and ask dad for any money because he just recently bought me the yarn for my cami.. So I excersied self control.. I think I did well : ) Aunt Faye wants me to get done with my cami REALLY fast so we can go back and I can buy something.. lol.. She's cute.

We might actually go back this weekend though.. She and I want to take Aunt Barbara (Who is really my cousin, don't ask! lol!) there.. It'll be really fun to have girly knitting time.. I've never had that!

So we'll see what happens.. and maybe tonight I'll have the lace on my cami done so we can see what it's like!
