DUDES!

This looks like an excellent community and I've gone back and read through old entries. You gals are fun! Anyone still around?

I'm currently working on knitting a tank top for my daughter with a cape on the back, a tote bag for my sister with a fun band's quote (shoplifters of the world unite!- ten points to whoever names that band!), and a bright turquoise shawl because, whatev, I want one.

What are you all working on?

Made these wool armwarmers.

I'd love a sweater just like this:

Any idea what patterns would be similar enough? I've searched all over through Google, Ravelry, and Knitty. =/

I mean... Could I just knit a sort of T shape and achieve much the same thing? I'm just not sure how to do that while knitting in the round, is all, and I wouldn't know how many stitches to cast on. *purses lips thoughtfully* Or how much yarn I'd need. Ha! So maybe I should stick to a pattern, after all?

OK, this is not so much a knitting question as a question about how to find an item related to the thing I'm knitting, but here goes: does anyone know a source (on or offline) for black fiberfill for knitted pillows? I'm knitting this awesome pink-and-black star pillow for my couch, and halfway through I realized that even though I'm knitting it very densely, some of the white guts are bound to show through, especially at the puffiest part in the middle, and at the intarsia gaps. I can't find it anywhere online, which is weird because I would think this would be a very lucrative market.

Alternatively, is it possible to dye fiberfill and what kind of dye do you use?

Just so this isn't a knitting-free post, here is one of my latest projects.
