Gray May Day

It’s a pretty dreary day today. But I come bearing an FO, some yarn porn and other picture spam!

First, a Mothers’ Day gift finished early:

Pattern: Book Sweater
Yarn: About 25% of a skein of Caron Simply soft in Autumn Red
Needles: US 7/5.0mm
Started: Apr 6
Finished: Apr 29

I recently got into the world of exploiting Ebay for deals on yarn and supplies. I managed to grab two skeins of Lane Cervinia Calzetteria for less than $4 total (plus $3.60 shipping).

I also ended up getting a lot of 12 sets of bamboo DPNs (sizes 1-11) for $9.99 with free shipping. They’re not a name brand and shipped from China (so it took a while for them to arrive), but for that price, it was a steal until I can find occasion to obtain something like a Knitpicks DPN set or something like that.

Additionally, I got a set of bamboo circs separately and a while before I got the DPNs from Etsy. I’ve been lazy about taking pictures of them, so here’s one.

And, finally in unrelated news, here’s my first submission to Illustration Friday: a quick digital painting. The theme for this last week was “Theatre“.
