Look What Got Resurrected For Dia De Los Muertos

It’s Frrrrancis!

Figure 167: The flying tumbleweed’s name is Frank.

…And me.  Also me. Hi, Interweb.

This blog suffered the triple threat: missing knitting mojo, missing writing mojo, and missing camera.    All of my writing energy was going to my internship at ScientificBlogging, and then my real job.  It was hot, and I was cranky, and there was a rock in my shoe.  All I wanted to do for a few months, internet-wise, was read about pretty things. All I wanted to do with string was build a rope ladder.  I built a rope ladder.

Figure 168: Now our tree is a pirate tree.

But just in time for the weather to claw itself back up into the 80’s, I re-re-Revisited Francis with a screaming, burning vengeance, ending (appropriately enough) on All Souls’ Day.  Kinda fabulous, huh?  Dead or undead, Teh Francis looks good on everyone. All I changed was to add me-appropriate waist shaping and ditch both the cowl shaping and the elbow bells. Ravelry business here.

There was, in fact, a method to my mad omission of the cowl shaping.  I can still wear Francis all cowly-like if I please, as seen in figure 169 below…

Figure 169: I Think I Stepped On A Leprechaun.

…but I think you’ll agree that wearing it upright, as some kind of ULTRA MEGA TURTLENECK, is its own brand of awesome.

Blame the photos’ not-suckiness on my housemate Paige.  Thanks again!
