As I sit here, furiously knitting my Velma sweater, I was struck by an idea for a men's sweater that I will most certainly have to plot out and knit. I have a few men in my life would would probably appreciate this sweater, so it works perfectly for modeling (as I have no dress form or mannequin).
As you've probably guessed, Bait 'n' Stitch isn't your "normal" knitting shop. I'm geeky and nerdy and like to do geeky and nerdy things. So, when I see great patterns for things, I like to try them. If they work, I start to alter them and make them into my kinda things.
Like the one sweater I want to have done by June 2... It's a very cute sleeveless sweater and it's beautiful as it is...but, I'm a geek. And I love Despicable Me...and Despicable Me 2 comes out on June 2. I'm going to rock this sweater....but, it's going to be less beautiful and more geeky in that people will look at it and automatically just say, "BANANA?"
You'll get pictures, don't worry. Sadly, though, I'm only making one of those, so it won't be for sale; but you can find those pictures and more at my site on Ravelry.com! I look forward to seeing you there--and stay tuned for the men's sweaters!!
