craftster.org is down and it's driving me mental because I can't post my craftstering!
This is my razor cami that is knitted from Debbie Bliss Cathay (cotton/silk mix). I had precisely two inches left when I finished and had to do a horrible non-stretchy bind-off on the back because I didn't have enough wool left for my favourite Elizabeth Zimmerman one :( I am going to blind people in Spain by wearing it with my bright orange cardiagan - complement-o-rama!
In this second one you can see the way the ribbing flows really nicely into the lace at the bottom. I was going to wear a vest underneath, but I actually think it's not too slaggy with just a bra, especially if I'm on holiday. Also, luckily for my extreme paleness, they had bogof on sun cream in Boots this week, so I have factor 40 AND factor 50: I wonder if I'll come back from holiday paler than I went?
This is my wrap I made for Bethan's wedding (I didn't wear it on account of it being superhot, and I can't say any more about the wedding til Pippa sends me photos and I can do a proper writing) which is made from some old 100% wool, so it's also a bit itchy. I seamed up the edges so it's a short-sleeved shrug now...this is it blocking and wet...

This is my dress I made out of a duvet cover I got from Oxfam. It has had a number of incarnations since then, notably dyed and worn as two attractive skirts by me and Berni to Nancy's party at Hatfield last year. The purple half (Berni's half) has now become this dress...
It's based on the shape of another dress I have, but the neckline went all to crap so I had to pleat it, and now have some boobage issues...
It's not actually as bad as it looks there, but it is quite low cut. And it took me ages to line up all the stupid patterns.
And finally, here is a kitty that I knitted out of some of the mohair Eleanor gave me for Christmas. I'm not really a massive fan of cuddly toys (I'm getting to be such a craftster snob: a giant NO to cross-stitch, card-making, quilting, pretty much all toys and most things involving felt. I gave someone a Hard Stare the other day when they asked me if I scrap-booked, because that really is a bit QVC). The kitty, however, stays.
