I am very pleased to let you all know that today it was finally warm enough for a t-shirt. It was a lovely Spring day! Twinkie frolicked outside all day, and while I would have loved to have joined her, I was chained to the sewing machine by that evil princess Snow White. Or something. (That big beautiful white collar<\/a>? It’s totally kicking my butt.)
\nHowever, we did take advantage of another nice day earlier in the week and finally took a picture of the Shetland Shorty in action.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nNot only does she look pretty happy with it, I’m pleased to say that she’s actually worn it twice in the week since I finished it!
\nI think this one can be dubbed a winner.
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Shetland Shorty by Gudrun Johnston from Knitty, Summer 2008<\/a>.
\nYarn: Jaggerspun Zephyr in Plum held double, around 70g total.
\nNeedles: 3mm and 3.25mm Knitpicks Nickel fixed circulars.
\nMods: I was going to say none, but then I remembered the beads,
\nYou can’t see them in the picture, but I added some tiny seed beads in the lace work. Every fourth row, I added a bead roughly every 3rd pattern repeat or so. They’re not obvious, but they add a nice little sparkle to the top, and Em is all about the bling!
\nEm looks tired, doesn’t she? That picture was taken on Wednesday afternoon, when she was still recovering from a slumber party she went to on Saturday night. Why are they called slumber parties? The last thing anyone does is slumber!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
