It's a gazillion degrees outside, let me wrap my hands in warm fiber.

Record heat and humidity. Everyone is being told "Stay indoors or we can not be held accountable for your immediate raisinification". (Hey, if spaghettification can be a scientific term, so can raisinification.)

Of course, I have been knitting.

I made a pop tart phone cover which made me very happy and which I promptly gave away, so I have no pictures. It looked a lot like this, only without the evil evil acrylic yarn, instead using happy sugar and cream cotton yarn.

I made an mp3 player cover in an effort to work my way into making a good looking mp3 player cover. No pictures.

I also completed a hat for a person-to-be. It is blue, much to the chagrin of the mom who really really wanted a girl. I went to take a picture and the camera batteries are, shockingly, dead. I really should go out and buy some new rechargable batteries.

Ok, is anyone particularly good at switching colors in knitting to make a design? I feel like there is something I'm missing when I do it, probably relating to the word "intarsia" which I have no clue about. I tried to make a pickle on the mp3 player cover, but it came out all lumped and embossed looking. No, I won't take a picture and show you. It's weird.

I am bemused by the "raisinification" label on that post.

I've sent your plea for help to my Mom, who is quite good at making designs & stuff like that. Hopefully she'll answer the call. :)
