Here we go with an extraordinarily image heavy post…
Today, this happened.
That’s knitted, ends woven in, seamed, blocked and zipperified in 16 days. I get gold!
16 days of blood (well, maybe not blood), sweat (so much sweat, so much knitting in only my underwear — after my little brother had gone home anyway), tears, houseguests, stocktake, enormous work hours, uni orientation, an extra day of uni orientation, a Tegan and Sara gig and a Steinbecks gig.
Yesterday, this happened.
And while the party wasn’t a total surprise, all of the following things were. And greatly loved and appreciated surprises at that. 
From Purps:
From Lakey and Sunny:
Further on the garden vibe, this was from my brother Andrew and sister-in-law Sue:
From Justin:
From Vetti and Geoff, name art that I think will go to my studio space at school, and also the greatest t-shirt ever:
From Kym and Giz…
Tupperware icy pole makers…
and the totally awesome and rad….
Knitmaster!
I remember that we decided on a name for the Knitmaster — does anyone remember what it was?
Anyway, hooray and yay and thankyous!
Incredible! And that t-shirt is definitely the coolest tshirt ever.
