The latest seekrit knitting project

[nonelvis]

An op art baby blanket for haineux, his wife, and of course the little baby-to-be.



It may look a little misshapen here, but that's normal; this photo was taken while I was wet-blocking it to straighten it out. It looked positively amoebic when I took it off the needles!

Made in Ella Rae Amity, and my first project knitting with two circular needles. It was easy and lots of fun, though by the end the blanket was so large that each row took a good 25 minutes.

If you put the baby on it does it start spinning around and around while the Vertigo theme music plays? :-D

I guess we'll find out once the kid is born :D

Let me first get this out of the way:


Ahem. Now that that's done.

So I write installers for Apple's iLife, and naturally, we pick appropriate code names -- GarageBand Jam Pack 5 "Symphony Orchestra" was codenamed HERRMANN. Most of the team is in Rellingen, Germany, and they were very happy when the builds came in with the correct spelling attached. I just wish I had been clever enough to find a way to hide a recording of the VERTIGO theme on the installer disks.
