knittyBlog: Team FO is born!

Team FO is born!

Thanks to circumstances and a push from Jackie, I realized that there are a bunch of us who, for whatever reason, will be FINISHING something as our goal for the Knitting Olympics.

If you're one of us, please join Team FO.

And of course, feel free to take the button.

I spoke to the Harlot last week, and we talked about the reason for these Olympics that she's created. [Bless her.] We agreed that it's about challenging yourself to be a better knitter, whatever that means for YOU. I don't think she'd disallow anyone from claiming their gold medal just because THEIR challenge happened to be finishing one [or more] projects that don't seem to want to be finished.

So there. Put the guilt away. This is about knitting, dammit. There should be no guilt in knitting.

Let the games begin!

Comments:

NO guilt here. I would have felt guilty putting Mermaid aside to start something else.

You know, I do have another UFO that I haven't touched in a year...

The Prom night party is the most awaited night of high school days. It is the big night when everybody dresses up and makes memories to last a lifetime. Prom night is the time for seniors to end their high school life in style, when everyone is together for the last time in school. It is the last dance and also the last big formal event in school life.

Dressing up for the prom night is every girl's dream. It is the first big chance to really “dress up” in the best way possible, to make the night both exiting as well as memorable. Prom dresses are generally formal party gowns-long and delicately stunning. [url=http://www.dresses4dancing.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9]Prom Dresses[/url] may be based on the theme of the party or they can just be traditional ball gowns. The dress can be made to convey the right image - sweet, innocent or sexy.

Selecting [url=http://www.dressupinyou.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1]Prom Dresses[/url] can be as formal as choosing a dress for a wedding. It involves a lot of planning right from the kind of dress, the material, the size, the color, how to order it, the accessories with the dress, and so on. There are special stores that specialize in the designing of [url=http://www.promdressonsales.com]Prom Dresses[/url] . These stores carry collections from popular designers like Alfred Angelo, Alyce Designs, Attitudes, Cachet, Cassandra Stone, Forever Yours, Glam Gurlz, Haley Nicole, Jasz Couture and Jessica McClintock. The most popular prom dresses are satin, sequined, vintage and the timeless little black dress. For more flash opt for the asymmetrical hem, the strapless dress, the halter, the hanky hem or the classic Cinderella ball gown.

There are several things to be considered while choosing a prom dress. It is very important that the size is just right. Each designer has his own size chart so it is better to be ready with bust, waist and hip measurements. The next important thing to know is your body type that may be an A, H, round or hourglass. Then decide upon the style of the dress including the length, color, the material, the neckline and other design aspects. Most professional designers will help consumers decide these aspects.

Information about [url=http://www.weddingdressart.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9]Prom Dresses[/url]is available in magazines like Your Prom, Prom Magazine and Seventeen. There are several online stores that sell a wide range of prom dresses. Online stores have various options that may not be available at local stores. However, be sure to order early and check return policies since most suppliers do not accept returns. These websites also offer advice on choosing the right kind of prom dress to make the prom night a most memorable affair.

Take your shape into consideration when you are choosing Prom Dresses. People usually buy Prom Dresses because it looks good on the model, but they don't realize the fact that the Prom Dresses is designed for the model's figure. If your body type is not the same with the model's figure, then the Prom Dresses will look totally different on you. You also will be disappointed to some extent if buying a fashion style just because it looks good on other people. Therefore, buy for your shape is very important. How? First take a good look at yourself. Any imperfections on you would be helpful on choosing the proper wedding Dresses that can flatter your figure, so just don't feel disappointed. Different people have different body shapes. After all, not everyone can have stunning curves. But wearing the right dress can make you look just as lovely. Second, just put emphasis on your best features. Fashion Prom Dresses which compliments your good features is your first choice. For example, if you have gorgeous legs then choose a dress which can show them off. If you have big arms then opt to a prom gown with sleeves instead of a strapless one. Anyway, just choose a prom dress that suits you. Third, pay attention to the color of your dress. Be sure to choose the right color capable of complimenting your skin tones instead of clashing with it. Different colors can have magical effects on you. If you want to look smaller then choose some dark colors. On the contrary, if you want to look bigger then opt to some colors that will give off its illusion. You can also directly go to a shop and try on a few Evening Dresses,Prom Dresses,formal dresses to find out your right color.

Also, don't forget to choose the right sizes, especially when you buy your Prom Dresses from an online store. Normally, most of the stores provide a size chart for you, so just go by it when you are choosing the right size. If you cannot find your exact size, then you'd better buy the next size up, for it is usually easier to have your women's dresses changed to a smaller size than a larger one. However, some stores don't offer a size chart, so it may be wise to order the dress from other shops to avoid unnecessary chances. Remember just choose those Prom Dresses that will compliment your figure.
