Blog readers can sometimes be a bit, um, perverse. Here I went and posted my latest FO--Roy's Formal Socks--a work that reflects my impeccable taste and fashion sense, and all anyone wanted to see was the tuxedo that completes the outfit.
Note the unremarkable bow tie and studs. We just haven't found the perfect set to complement the jacket. Harry, of course, has a similar outfit, but I am afraid I melted all my camera lenses taking this picture, so you will have to use your imagination: Just think of a gigantic spider in psychedelic formal attire whizzing around on his purple iPod/skateboard.
Sorry about the headache.
I understand Knitty and Color is getting a bit tired of carding Jelly Bean batts. Apparently, Roy isn't the only one who owns tasteful tuxedos. Someone even commissioned me to spin six of these batts for her very own sets of formal foot covers.
I have been busily knitting away on the Queen Susan, but frankly, working on this shawl is akin to scrubbing Boston Common with a toothbrush. And it currently looks like a hairnet for 700-pound pumpkin. Nothing much to show yet. Check back in, say, six months.
Next week, I am off to the Maryland Sheep and Wool show. Several people have expressed interest in meeting me, so I made myself a t-shirt sporting my avatar on both the front and back. If you see a short lady wearing a rainbowed octopus, it's probably me. Stop and say hello!

For a minute I thought you'd be wearing the tux!
See you there! I will have my yorksett T-shirt
That is the great thing about shawls, they look so pitiful and then you block them and "pow" greatness!
Vicki
Do I see fractals on the sleeve?
love the tux!! Peter Max - eat your heart out!
...and the trousers?
Have a great time next week!
You know, I think my date wore a cumberbund from that designer to our prom!
haha
very good.
word verification is uncomess
is this short for uncomeliness?
that has to be a word. right?
Sunglasses?!?! You need to don a welder's sheild to view that tux! That really is super cool though, thanks for sharing.
It's quite pretty, though it could use a bit more red...
Love the tux, AND the socks/yarn. Will try your techniques with spinning my next batch...
Just wanted to say--
Check out EARRINGS, yes, I said earrings--most post earrings can work double duty as tux buttons--and the colors!
I have a pair that I found in Florida, made of a bright blue wood, actually, that is banded. I forget what it's called, but they change color with the light, from Blue to green--sort of like the head of a mallard duck.
My girls wandered by as your post came up...and they LOVED the tux!
Have fun at Maryland! I wish I could make it this year, but I will look forward to seeing your post about it as a poor substitute...
Oh, that's gorgeous! Want want want!
OMG! I think I can still see the image of that tux even with my eyes closed! LOL. Have a wonderful time at MS&W and bring back lots and lots of fun things!
Not kidding about the sunglasses!
Wow!!
Your taste is as always impeecable:)
your socks really goes wonderfully well with a tux like this. not to mention the fact that you and harry will outshine anyone else wearing matching tuxedos:D
I really do hope that your trip to maryland sheep festival will be fun with lots of meeting with your blog readers!
Wow. The sunglasses warning is appreciated. Great tux! Very interesting.
I'm amazed that one might actually máke such a flamboyant tuxedo!
It will fit perfectly with the handspun and knitted socks.
Jawdropping...
Oh my. Now that is fun. I see why my batts were a natural choice to go with this outfit. I have renewed zeal to make more...weeeee!
I found the PERFECT woman to escort Harry and Cheeto to ANY formal event! Katy Perry in her glow-in-the-dark CuteCircuit gown for the Met gala ball.

snort! Hairnet for a pumpkin! heh
I would totally wear that tux.
HOW did I miss this post? Outstanding!
Fractals indeed, probably hand embroidered...
I think it's stunning. I'd grab a women's version in a minute.
