Knitting With Pickles!

All your base. Base. Base. All your base. Are belong to us.

Allrighty then, nerdiness aside, I have been, the past two days, at the a regional for FIRST Robotics, and WOW has it been fun! I have met so many people, and have gotten many complements on my Binary scarf (pattern on Knitty). So far, our team has played 7 matches, and won three of them. This is wayyy better than we did last year, as our previous robot had a lot of problems with its design.

However, as with any competition, there were some ‘off’ times, where most of us sat around with absolutely nothing to do. But I? No, not I! I brought my knitting.

 I started the Razor Cami (from OhMyStars.com) using size 5 circulars and Lion Brand Baby Soft yarn in a pale yellow color. I don’t really like the color; does anyone have any suggestions for dying it? Would RIT dye work?

Anyways, I have about 6″ done so far, including the bottom ribbing. I think I may try my hand at making a sweater after I finish this garment. Has anyone tried any good fitted sweater patterns, with or without buttons, that can be made with cheap-ish easily obtained yarn? I’m thinking maybe a side-button cardigan is the kind of thing I’m looking for.

Well, it’s getting late, and I have to get up at 6:30 tomorrow. Toodles!
