This is what I've been up to...

I guess I've been very INSPIRED (or whatever) lately, but some of that may have to do with switching into homework avoidance mode. Anyway, I designed some pretty sweet-ass sweaters I'm planning on knitting the near(ish) future. I may even do it up like a proper collection and show it at this fashion show dealie-o that's coming up sometime this semester, but considering how I normally do things (read: I don't) that might not actually happen. Of course, this would all be easier if I was in possession of a knitting machine. 

I'm planning on doing the sweaters directly below in one of my favorite ultra chunky yarns, so they should work up fairly quickly. I've actually already charted out the sweater with the big chains in the bottom left of this page, and knitted a sample with yarn I already had to make sure the proportions were right (they are!) I actually had to chart it out a second time and do another sample, since the proportions in the first one were terrible and it just looked all wrong. Thank god the second one is good, though. Charting is a terribly boring annoying process. After I've finished with that sweater, I think the next one I'll do is the diamond ring.

Or, of course, I could move on to these ice cream inspired sweaters. I'm thinking of doing these in a medium-weight cotton so they're a bit more summery, but that depends on how lazy I'm feeling when I do them. I'm also considering dyeing the yarn myself, since I'm not sure I'll be able to find the right colours to make them truly ice cream-like. I did write the flavours in, but I'm wondering if they're obvious enough that someone could actually guess them. 
I made an ice cream cone necklace just like that one last semester, so maybe drawing it in is cheating a little bit. I've really been doing cupcake and ice cream necklaces for a few years now, just because they're so cute. 
Please tell me what you think of these! If they go over well I may actually sell them (hopefully) but I guess they would have to be fairly expensive to cover my time.
