The main body of the Watson sweater is almost done, actually it would be done if I wasn't a huge idiot and hadn't forgotten to change to a smaller size needle for the ribbing on the neck. *headdesk* but still it's just the ribbing and it's wearable as a vest. (I'll try to get the sleeves done by thyen but I doubt I can knit them up that fast) But anyway the sweater fits perfectly and is dead on for what i wanted it to look like. Yay! I'm holding off on pictures until i finish the neck. but... Watson will be coming to Timegate! Oh I've also just bought a cane for the costume as well. I just need to modify the jacket and find some manlier blue jeans, hopefully I can get going on that this Tuesday.
Utah Amy is finished, I found shoes this past week that look pretty close to hers (I really didn't want to spend the 89-110 dollars on the real ones) I just need to find a nail polish that's close to what she is wearing in the episode. It'll be something very cheap since it's not a color I would ever wear. I'd really like to take the costume over to the park near by and get some more photo's if my Mom is game to be my photographer again
real life news:
I don't think I've mentioned it here but many of you are on face book so you know I cut all of my hair off! Yes I did, I'm now sporting a pixie cut similar to Natalie Portman's or Emma Watson's. It's taking some getting used to but you can't beat it for ease of styling! it really is wash and go! My birthday was nice I spent it with my family, got my nails done (first time ever) and we went out for dinner.
Um that's it, hopefully I'll be posting some pictures very very soon of a nearly completed Watson Sweater!
