red ‘n’ purple raglan tee

In an attempt to use up all of my yarn stash before buying anything new, I made this four skein project with some cheapie yarn (Bernat Satin Sport), but it turned out so well that I think I’ll have to make another with some splurge yarn. It was an easy knit — no pattern was used. Just did a basic top down raglan with k1, p1 ribbed edge at neckline and sleeves, decreased around the waist for shaping, and put a wide ribbed band at the bottom. I let my limited amount of yarn dictate the color block pattern. Pics show it unblocked because I never have the patience to wait for blocking before snapping pics.

fasting for Darfur — please join!

I’ve decided to join Mia Farrow in her fast for Darfur, in an attempt to bring much needed publicity to the genocide in Sudan. Please watch her April 28th interview with Larry King, and then visit this link to join in the fight! You can choose a water only fast or the “refugee rations” fast which mirrors the tiny amount of food alotted to refugees on a daily basis.

I’m participating for four days (refugee rations), but you can participate for as little as one.

Thanks!
