Apocalypse, now? .... No, not yet

In preparation for the Aztec calendar's Apocalypse prediction on 12-21-2012, which doesn't seem to have happened; (unless it's a slow process that has only just begun),I wanted to make a sweater with an Aztec design. I found a knitting pattern booklet on e-bay called Inca Fashion by Sirdar Limited yarn company and used the graph of one sweater (#4) and I tunisian crocheted it. I changed the guy that was supposed to be in the middle. Originally, he was really short with big long ears like a rabbit. I think he was supposed to be an alien. Anyway, I made him more human-like and put a crown on him like a Sun King.

This is the front.

And here's the back. I ran out of the cornflower yellow at the top so I just used a brighter yellow up there. It doesn't bother me. I mean, who really cares, it's the end of the world for goodness sake!!!!! LOL!!!!!

I put this in to show you all my new camera I got from my for my birthday in November. It's so heavy and complicated but it does take great photos. As readers of this blog know, my old camera stopped focusing properly and it was so frustrating. Now I have this new camera and a brand new computer I got for Christmas so I have no more excuses but to get all my stuff photoed and posted in here. I just hate having to learn how to use new things.

I thought I'd put the sweater on and have my son take a couple of photos because just seeing it laying flat, it's hard to envision it on someone. Here's the front.

For the sides I made two panels. What can I say? I'm not paper-thin and neither are most people. You're going to need to add some sides, trust me. I like how these turned out tunisian crocheting them with variegated yarn. It makes a nifty pattern all by itself.

Here's the back once again.
