The second and final version of Assets of Evo are done. The first were pretty good, but I knew there were some elements that could be better.
I love the wine and black color combo. The browns are gorgeous, but this is more my color.
I redid the duplicate stitch chart to better reflect the proportions of the artwork. The previous was a little short and stout.
The front meets the strict standards of our Quality Control department, which is always good.
The new crotch gusset fits so much better than the original design.
And if I stand in just the right position, wearing a cute pair of shoes, with flattering lighting and soft focus, it doesn't look too bad on me.
I am now finishing up the pattern and then I'll be looking for a tech editor.

I NEED those. But, they probably won't look as good on me. I usually wear old men's plastic slippers, the ones you can buy at the local pharmacy.

I turned down the offer of matching shorts for my new running shirt at Da Runnin' Store...
Pass me some of that flattering lighting.

When the pattern comes out, I'm going to print out a few of these images and leave them at our local knitting store (Finely, a Knitting Store), where a group gathers every Friday to knit for social causes. Maybe they can be convinced to take this up, too, and distribute pairs to needy, science-lovin' babes in the community.

I knew a guy named Evo in college. He'd enjoy said assets. Heh.

I love that black trim.
Nice to see them on (and you look fabulous!)
to see that they're fitted enough to look
great and loose enough that they don't have that
"you'd better wear something underneath" look that so many hand-knit smalls have.
Way cute!

ANTM look out. I was completely unaware you had a fierce face. Honey, you brought it. All that and you knit too? Do Thea and Panda know how cool their mom is?
Side note: Am I the only one who snickered at the phrase "crotch gusset"?
