darchildreSlow night at the library, so I am trolling ravely. Which is a bad idea, as I have two pairs of socks and a shawl I'm in the middle of (though the shawl is nearly done), the yarn for the Kira vest coming in the mail to be started later this week (so exciting!), and nebulous plans for an eventual robot-themed cardigan.
But, see, I found this pattern from this book, and it is explicitly a sweater for surviving a robot uprising (or other related apocalypse) in. Pretty much, that is amazing, and thus it needs to be added to the project queue. It has artistically placed dropped stitches, to simulate the kind of wear it would undergo while you're fleeing the alien invaders! That is hilarious and wonderful. I would wear that all the time.
(I...would not use the suggested yarn, though. I have no doubt that it's lovely but I am spoiled by knitpicks and thus cannot bring myself to spend more than $5 or so a skein. Also, I would prefer to actually be able to wash my garments in a washing machine, rather than doing it in my sink.)
Man, geeky yarn craft is my favorite thing ever.
