Knitting, A New York Minute and Thee

Knitting

The Noro Cardi is knitting up great. I'm wrapping up the sleeves this afternoon and will get to the Right Front tonight...and will start blocking the sleeves and back so I can start sewing together tomorrow night (fingers crossed). Then I have to do the edge ribbing - possibly on Sunday - so finished pics will be posted next week!

Here are some progress shots...

New York Minute

While on the subway Wednesday afternoon, in a New York minute, I saw...
  • A spectacularly grey haired woman wearing the coolest Edith Head glasses

  • A mod girl with short black bangs wearing a bright green coat over a yellow shirt...she was just adorable!

  • An older balding man wearing ALL WHITE...a short sleeved polo shirt, SHORTS, socks and his wisps of hair...ALL WHITE (except for his Yarmulke, which was black)


  • A homeless man, wearing all black, sleeping while standing up against a wall

Self portraits

I recently joined a self-portrait group on Flickr called "365 days, the knitterly and crafty types"

To be honest, I haven't taken a photo EVERY day - but I have been trying. Here are the most recent:

OOOH! I love Noro yarn. Have some in my stash too. I thought maybe ours were same colorway, but I think now that you posted, they are diff...love so far your progress. Also love your portraits. You will get to be creative with those if you do 365 of them! Wow, maybe you can make a photo album of them afterwards?

You're so brave! I absolutely can't see pic's of myself at all. That's why I táke pictures...
The noro is looking good! It's so soft, the colours will suit you perfectly.
(be carefull with washing, I've read on Ravelry is getting 'bigger' then.)
The NYminute is famous, and to see them in pictures: unique!
