Pictures, finally!

Woooooooooooooooooooooo.

Fetching:

(Check out that macro. Awesome detail!)

Yorick:



I just could not get a good picture of this for the life of me. But. Note the kitty in the lower righthand corner. I laugh out loud every time I see it. hahaha.

Watch Cap 1:


Yes, that is me when I was five.

That piece of dog hair is so attractive.

So there you have it. Proof that I've been knitting. I'm hoping this weekend I can catch up with some knitting. The outlook is not very good, but I'm going to try my best.

Ciao.

Fetching #3

I made another pair of Knitty's Fetching, thanks to my cat losing one of my muvs/glittens (whatever you like to call them) out of Paton's SWS. It shreds and splits which is pretty annoying sometimes, but my god is the yarn soft and shiny. When my fancy new digital camera comes in I will share some pictures. I think I might try a pair of Knitty's Cigar next, but I'll modify them so that all of the fingers are "fingerless" instead of just the three. If I can master that I will try a pair of socks (one of my resolutions for the year).

Also, if you missed the last episode of Scrubs you really need to watch it. The Guy Love song is pretty much the best song ever created.

I am a ball winding fiend.

My swift and ball-winder came in two days. Clearly, I need to order supplies from folk in Michigan. They seem to have the fast-shipping thing down. So now I am fiendishly going through my stash and winding it into beautiful center-pull balls.

I also remember why I haven't posted pictures. My digital camera broke. I think I dropped it or got it wet or something, and now the lens doesn't pick up anything. It's all black with periodic blue streaks running through it. So. I ordered a new one from Frys that should arrive tomorrow. I love new toys!

FINALLY

This is just a quick note to document the fact that I just ordered a ball winder and swift! Yessssssssssssssss.

I do what I want

I've been on vacation for the past two weeks, and haven't really done a lot of knitting. Well, that's a lie. I haven't taken pictures of my knitting. There. I made some fuzzy di for a friend, and I'm almost done with a watch cap for a different friend.

The reason for this post, however, is that I bought two skeins of Paton's SWS yarn. Seriously. The softest stuff ever. I want to make another calorimetry, but I think there are some issues with the pattern. Everyone that has made one has complained about it turning out way too big, so I think/hope an errata will be posted soon.

I have about a bazillion other things in the making, but I'm too hooked on Hot Shots Golf for PSP. Oh well.
