It seems life is against me at the moment when it comes to my knitting. I am going to have to give the scarf away to someone short enough for the length to look good on them. Meaning a kid, who will never appreciate it for what it’s worth and out grow. Not to mention I don’t know any kids. I am so fucking pissed off about that. I was hoping to wear the damn thing myself; the colors went well with my complexion. I’m going to unravel what I have done with the second ball and bind off on the scarf. I’ll add some fringe and call the fucker done. I’m so over that damn thing.
As for what’s next? I want to start on either two pair of socks or a sweater. I have the yarn for the socks. I only have partial the amount of yarn for the sweater, but I want to get it started. Both projects I need new knitting needles for. I don’t have small enough DPNs for the socks or circular needles in the right size for the sweater. If I had enough money I’d go out and buy every size DPNs and circular needles so I would only ever have the problem of never having enough yarn.
I also need to do something with that beautifully deep sea blue sock yarn that I have. The only advice I’ve been given about the yarn is to make something for either a baby or ornaments. Why on earth would I make something for a baby who will only spit up on it? Don’t even get me started about making miniature ornaments for a Christmas tree. Every time I pass the skein all I can think of is to make a pair of gloves out of it. That is if I have enough; I’d have to wind it off into two separate balls first to find out. I need to post in the FnF yahoo group if someone has a ball winder.
I can’t find the holiday issue of Interweave Knits anywhere I’ve been. I’ll have to hit up a knitting store I guess. I want that fucking pattern for the Koolhaas hat. I’m sure I’ll need new sized needles for the hat as well. I’m thinking quick Yule gifts with a pair of matching Knucks to go along with; easy and simple enough to make. And if I have the time and extra money maybe a scarf to go along with; but it sure as hell won’t be with any of that Homespun shit. I am totally against that stuff in any variegated colors. I’ve learned my lesson; solids are better suited for that brand of yarn.
So as you can see, on all knitting fronts I am being fought. Hopefully things will start smoothing over soon enough so I can get projects out of the way. I now realize why winter holiday knitting is done during the summer; it’s simple, small, easy, and you’re not sitting under a ton of hot wool. Oh well, better late than never I guess. Maybe there will be a Day After Thanksgiving Sale at The Shabby Sheep. That would help when buying all those damn expensive needles.
Well I’m going to go play some World of Warcraft. I’m a level sixty-six Paladin now. It’s only taken me a total of seven weeks to get there. I’ve been playing since July but have had so many computer problems that have forced me to stop playing for intervals at a time. I’m so close to level seventy I can taste it. My goal is to have made it there by the end of the year and leveled another character to at least thirty if not forty. That way I can start New Year’s with a level seventy and another half way on its way there as well. Thank goodness the experience gained from levels twenty to sixty have been altered beneficially.
I guess I will update you later in the week as to what was made of it. Cheers mates.
