Latest sweater finished

Much to the chagrin of pretty much everyone who saw it in progress, I decided to make Liza the pirate skull-and-crossbones sweater from one of the knitting books I have. It's not a great job of knitting with multiple skeins of yarn at once, but it's not too lumpy for my first attempt at it.


Ahoy, Cap'n Liza!
Why it's a shame we won't be going to that Mardi Gras party: Whacked out on cold medicine, Liza demonstrates that she actually was paying attention during the yoga portion of the "Let's Move!" DVD we watched, oh, four times today.


Oh, and here's something from yesterday, when Liza demonstrated that she does, indeed, look cute in pigtails, and she does, indeed, know how to match the colored socks on the screen during the "Helping Around the House" DVD:

Love the Pirate sweater! It does not look like a first attempt at all.
Little kids love to dust and clean up, until they are old enough to actually be useful. Then they refuse to do it.
Get your money's worth out of her while you can!

bartender: umm, what's up with that? isn't it uncomfortable?

pirate: arrrggggggggh! it's drivin' me nuts!

I think that the pirates of old would have experienced much greater public acceptance if their flags were made from pink and baby blue rather than their unflattering black-and-white.
