first of all, i'd like to give a very big thanks to everyone who commented on my previous post! reading the comments was even more fun than creating the post :)
i think stuart is releasing me of his spell ...
today i wet-blocked out the portion of bonita i've knitted thus far. the wash instructions on the yarn label are somewhat ominous ... "dry clean or hand wash in soap flakes; do not soak; cool rinse; do not wring; short spin; do not leave wet; reshape and dry flat away from direct sunlight; use damp pressing cloth." so, i dunked and swished in the sink, squeezed as much water out as i could, and rolled in a towel and then pinned it to my blocking board. and ... it looks pretty good! it think it's a go. the size i'm knitting only calls for 5 balls of damask. i have 6. now, i'm waiting for my giant swatch to dry so i can continue to knit on it.
the yarn is very nice ... and i like how mottled it is. it doesn't flash or pool.
did you notice that stuart has some new britches? the sweet devil kitty crocheted them for him yesterday! i think he needs a nice lace shawl now =)

Bonita looks lovely and the colors are great. But I have to say that Stuart's britches steal the show!
I think stuart is definitely the cutest sock monster out there!
i love his new pants!!
bonita looks lovely! I do hope your giant swatch works out, Stuart might be a bit more compliant now that he has some shorts
It is so cute that he has short pants.
Bonita = beautiful. I also like the mottling of the colors in the yarn.
Stuart needs a shrug!!
Love his new britches!
Wow, your Bonita is....'muy bonita!'
That stitch pattern your doing looks very nice! Can't wait to see the end product. You always have something cool on the needles.
That are some hot pants!
Hey Devil Kitty,
Cool pants, man. Cool pants.
Hey Agent Gray,
I don't think I'll see you tomorrow at the GY, but I'll be thinking about you girls!
