My avatars

I love playing my Avatars. After having my little boy, Boy, do my figure change. I'm so out of shape, and even worse on camera. There is some saying in Chinese, "There is no ugly women just lazy women" (I'm not sure if English has something like this). Well, I admit, I'm lazy, super lazy, and I love food. Every time I finished a knit object, tried on, I so want to go out and buy diet pills, but I know better not to try those pills, who knows what's in those pills (I guess I rather use the money to buy yarn). Actually I would go on food diet than yarn diet :-p
Where am I going with this? Oh, I was playing with the Avatars, it's fun, I get to try on clothes that I would never wear (I'm too fat), and different backgrounds (no budget to travel around the world), and accessories (I can't afford). I put a scarf on (my avatar) today, a turquoise one, that reminded me the weather is cold enough I can start wearing my scarves.

Speaking of scarf, I was reading the Clapotis KAL last night, I want to make one ever since I saw it on Knitty, but was afraid of getting tired of it and it becomes a UFO. There are like 90 pages in that KAL, you can find some really great looking Clapotis, yarns used for this scarf/shawl/stole are Artyarns Regal Silk, Koigu, Paton SWS (Michaels' sale this week @ $5 each), SWTC Bamboo, Blue Heron Rayon Metallic yarn (one of my fav), Noro Silk Garden (WEBS overstock sales), Brilla, Lorna laces Lion & Lamb, Malabrigo... Amazingly, these yarns are all different weights, but they all worked out, some heavier suitable for fall/winter, some are really light and airy for spring/summer, after seeing all FOs, you would want to make one for fall and one for spring and one from each different color ways. I like it better with varigated color yarns, I'm thinking Paton SWS or the Lion & Lamb,or the Regal Silk, the Rowan Tapestry is yummy too. I'm adding this to my to-knit list, like the 8th or the 15th?
