Here's what I'm working on




The top photo shows the baby cardigan I started. I haven't been working on it, partly because I don't feel like starting the cuffs. It's knit in one piece, you see.

The second photo shows the kerchief scarf I'm working on. It's from a book called Last Minute Knitted Gifts.

I'm also planning on making a scarf for my cousin. Luckily, he doesn't know about my blog, so I can speak freely without him finding out about my cunning plan :)

I also need to knit a pair of socks for myself. I have some Bernat Sox Multi and my Garnstudio Fabel - I might use the Fabel in a pair of Monkeys, but I'm not sure about the Sox. I'd like to make a pair of Monkeys in the Sox, because the colourway is awesome (anyone who's on Ravelry can see the colourway by looking in my stash). But I'd have to swatch.

I haven't been working on my mobius wrap or my vest. I guess I just feel like knitting with cotton.

Oh, and I'd also like to make some washcloths for my friend Holly. I probably won't get them finished before she starts university in the fall, but I could make them after I'm done my kerchief scarf and give them to her for Christmas, or her birthday, which is shortly after Christmas. The scarf for Justin (my cousin) will be either a Christmas present or a birthday present - I'm not sure if I can knit it in time for his birthday, though.

ETA: The photo of the baby cardigan is quite dark - it's actually a much lighter blue!

Singing to my cat.

Yep. I sang to my cat today.

Q107 played Have a Cigar by Pink Floyd, so I sang along to the cat. Mouse has been very talkative lately. I'll start walking to the stairs, and she won't leave me alone. I'll tell her, "You go up the stairs, I'll follow you."

Anyway, I couldn't knit while listening to that song, so I set my knitting down, got up and paced. After a little while I sat back down on my bed.

I sang, "And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?"

"Reh," Mouse squawked in reply.

I laughed through the next line.

And, a few minutes ago, Dad chased Lulu, Goldie and Teddy away (they were probably on the couch), so they came in here. I made goofy high-pitched noises at Lulu (you know, the sounds you make when a cute dog is near), and she jumped up in my lap. "You're gonna clunk your head!" I told her right before she jumped. When she was in my lap (without clunking her head), I continued, "Miss I-Smell-Like-Pollen!"

ETA: I was able to knit during the guitar solo at the end. My Mobius Wrap is halfway done.

Another post, this time with knitting photos.




I guess this qualifies as 'knitting porn' ;)
The top photo shows my Mobius Wrap. The middle one is the flap of my Party Clutch. The bottom one is the beginning of my Not-So-Bulky Golden Compass Hood.

Bored out of my mind

The good news, though, is that I'm on a two-week break from math :)

Plus, I have a good-sized stack of CDs to listen to, thanks to the library. Only problem is, I'm worried that I won't get through all of them. But why should I worry? I'll get through them. I only have Robert Johnson, The Rolling Stones and the rest of Jeff Healey to listen to. R.E.M., Ringo and The Doors are already listened to. I'll probably take The Doors back soon, though.

I watched Becoming Jane yesterday - I'm borrowing it from the library, too - and I loved it. A good knitting movie. I worked on my mobius wrap yesterday, and it's looking nice.

And now I'm listening to Queen. Exscuse me while I quote from Wayne's World...

"How about a little Bohemian Rhapsody?"

"Good call!"

Check out this WIP!


I was worried that it would be too loose, but it's looking good. I'm really happy with this mohair blend - it's Lion Brand Imagine, which has been discontinued. It's a shame that it is, though, 'cause I like it. It's nice to work with - the only downside is the occasional felt ball, but you get that with all kinds of yarn, don't you?
I may not go back to the youth group in the fall. I feel like most of the youth don't appreciate my participation at all. Two of the younger members are mature enough for the group, but there's other young members who keep getting off-topic. I may take up something else. Music lessons, maybe? Or maybe I'll hang out at the nearest LYS.
