Okay, I'm a lazy blogger.

But really, not a lot has happened.

I went to Michael's yesterday to get some yarn (even though I'm supposed to be de-stashing) for a project I intend on starting. I won't say what, in case someone reads it and spills. Then today I went to Len's to get a button for my ruff. I got a pair of sparkly star shank buttons, which I think will go well with the blur yarn. I'm not sure what I'll do with the second button - maybe I'll make a purse.

I've also joined the Teen RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) group on Ravelry. It's already quite fun.

The destashing is going well. I used up a skein of blue acrylic for that ruff, nearly a skein of Lion Brand Imagine on my mobius wrap, and some Wool-Ease Thick & Quick. I also might use up my Knit Picks Wool of the Andes by making a felted punk tie, and I cast on for a pair of fingerless gloves, which will use up some of my black DK. I also used just over a skein of my Berella Whistler by making my hood, but I still need to make the ties, which will use more Whistler of the same colour.

Other than that, there's nothing else to report. I only got one decent shot of the yarn I just got, so I'll put up photos in another post when I get a decent shot of the darker colour. I'll also take a photo of the buttons.

Hellboy II is awesome!!!

Yep, I saw Hellboy II: The Golden Army tonight, and it was fantastic. Although I was a bit annoyed at the fact that they changed Liz's fire - it used to be blue, now it's red. HUH???

In other news, I have Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks stuck in my head. And the newest Bruce Springsteen album is at the library for me to pick up, and Help! (the movie, that is), A Saucerful of Secrets (a Pink Floyd album) and Pretty in Punk are in transit - which is a relief, because I can't make anything out of Punk Knits. Well, maybe I could use my green DK for a knitted tie, but I'd rather not. I wanted to make it out of my black DK with the multicoloured flecks, but my gauge was waaaaaay too big.
