the blue blog archives: good chickie, bad chickie

I spent forever knitting and sewing-as-I-go and ripping to tweak the sewing, then ripping and reknitting and resewing and ripping and retweaking the sewing and... and... and... ugh... after hours of working on the button band for chickie in an attempt to get her all finished up by the weekend, this is as far as I got.

One half of the button band. I had no idea that it would be such a pain. And that top part is actually quite a bit of knitting. But all that hard work was worth it, I hope. This side looks acceptable and I think I know what I'm doing now.

So where's the good chickie? Check out Kim's just finished and very yellow no sweat pants. I want some in yellow now too!

I admire your perseverance. CPS gave me some guff and I've been ignoring it and licking my wounds ever since. Yay you!

Alison, Cate continued saying goodbye to your boys until we were half way to JP Licks, when she closed her eyes and fell fast asleep. Hope you guys enjoyed your ice cream!

All the effort looks worth it as it is a very professional job.It's going to look great when it's finished. I've finished my first tank of the year. Oh, and I'm blogging again.

I love chickie! Worth all the work? Of course, *I* think so! Will I see it on you at knitsmiths? Time will tell!

Sometimes it's those little finishing details that take the most time and require the most fiddling! [The giraffe pocket springs to mind...]

You'll get it, and soon we'll see a smiling photo of you wearing a fabulous Chickie :-)
