Pictures, finally pictures
We finally got the whole picture deal working: osti wrote the skript, ette
found her camera and I plowed through the unmemorable file names like
DSCF3506.JPG. Without further ado (but with excuses for the picture quality
especially for the motion blur) I give you Blue Beast:

Blue Beast in all its finished glory.
And I also present you pictures of its progress:

The neck steek before sewing it down with a piece of waste yarn as marker.

Close-up of an uncut steek. You can make out the machine stiches where I sewed
them down with dark blue thread.

Before cutting the steeks it had a rather peculiar shape, that frightened me a
bit, to be honest.

The most terrifying moment of all: me cutting me very first steek.

And the also terrifying result: steeks cut open.
But as you can see above everything went well. I backstitched all the steek
openings to the wrong side and picked up the stiches for the facings from the
edge.
And to finish this post of, I have a few random pitures for you:

The Argyle socks for which I lost my motivation. Though I must say, I like the
colouring.

The striped cotton sweater, still in its un-enlongated form.

That is the elephant I did for my niece.

And one frontal picture...

and one to look hin in the eye, so to speak.

And finally: my knitted sandwich with cheese, half a tomato and a slice of
cucumber.
