Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob (and more)

Yep, so I've been working on Bob. That's the progress (done with the decreases, almost to the increases). We went on a long car trip this weekend, and there's just nothing like mindless stockinette-in-the-round to make the miles fly by! And not too mindless, thanks to the decreases.

AND, because I couldn't have just one WIP, and because I bought some fabulous ribbon yarn at ArtFibers in San Francisco last week (it was a finished-thesis treat!), I had to start a new project, too:

(and those are the feet of Linus, my ever-helpful photo assistant)

I have to organize my knitting yarn soon, to decide what I want to take with me on my move (to DC, in less than a week now!), and what stays here in CA with my husband and the rest of the stuff... it's a hard decision! The Ribbie Cardie is now going to be put off, though, since there's talk of a knit-along in mid-August... yippee!!

Bob is looking great, Sarah! I can't imagine trying to move all of my stuff so far away! Good luck!

I am also working on pattern #5 from the FCEK -- what brand of yarn is that ribbon you are using? I like the color very much. I am using the AY Cinema in a fuchsia shade that is coming out nicely --- but goodness save me from 15 inches of stockingette stitch! :D

I like that tank from FCEK. It's on my long list of things to do! I still have to finish my BNS, though. I feel like I never get to knit anymore!

Wow Sarah! Both projects look great! I'm heading up to SF next weekend, and I'm definitely stopping by Art Fibers! You've inspired me...

Hi Sarah!
Are you up for getting together soon after my exam?? I'd love to meet you and have a celebratory toast to the both of us!

What issue and mag is the slit sleeve shirt from?
I love it. I hope I didn't miss it in blog.

Thanks!
