now to work out what to work on next...

evilll... or at least just a little...

You Are 40% Evil

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.

How Evil Are You?

Gah!

no pictures on this one (the topic is a gift...) but... - GAH! - I've discovered that when I've knit 5000+ stitches wrong (one extra stitch created 7 rows back on the thing...) I've forsaken a principal and knit two together and moved on.... I didn't rip it back!

just to prove that knitting does happen, this was an accidental project when I knew i had one hour of meeting and 4 hours of airport/flying time on tuesday - the clapotis I was planning to take was at my house, but there was a whole 20 yards of yarn to be knit, and the rest of the balls were at D's house... *sigh*

Christmas stuff all done! - Yeah!

with an accidental additional Jayne hat for a friends son, who ended up working in chicago this year, after 18 years learning to be a california beach bum!

Monday is starting slowly...

So a couple of photos to prove I still have things on the needles *grin*

I cast this on on friday, 3 strands of frog tree sport alpaca, pattern is Lady Eleanor, this is going to be *huge* and *warm* - and I have discovered I'm either allergic to alpaca (which is what I am fearing) or to something in the processing, I itch - but it is turning out so beautifully I can't stop! - frogged back one line of squares last night, as I discovered that I can't necessarily count and watch tv perfectly. Oh - and this was my first attempt at knitting back rather than turning and purling, at this point I am not turning the work at all, just charging back and forth - yeah!!!

This I cast on a couple of weeks ago, and charged through, Dreams in Colour is wonderful to work with! - It was made up as I went along, and is sufficiently comfortable and functional that I am going to do another with minor mods, which may make it as far as the writing down phase!

Life improved some, hopefully I will post more regularly from here out.
