Just a few things...
I've decided to join the rest of the knitblogging world and make Rogue. As a cardigan. It's been done.This I decided at work today. And then I thought I'd use yarn from the Frogger sweater, but realized it probably wouldn't hold the cables too well, being acryllic and stuff. Then I remembered I have this lovely, Turkish handspun yarn. I have two wheels of it, one blue, one red. The blue is currently turning into Jack and the Beanstalk (the project that will never, ever be finished), and the red was going to turn into a Rosedale with a cable flame lace variation, but now I think that might be the next thing.
Then I went to my LYS in between getting off work and coming back to work for the invited dress rehearsal. I went to pick up size 6 DPNs and size 10 DPNs that are shorter than 10".
They were out of size 6 DPNs
I found a nice set of 5 Crystal Palace wooden 10 DPNs, which Otis' hat is currently residing on. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and make my sleeves using magic loop. I do not like magic loop, especially when beginning the project. It makes it extremely likely you'll twist stitches and make yourself a mobius band of a sleeve. At least, in Christinaland it does.
The other problem? THEY HAD SILKY WOOL! Silky wool! For Menja! In purple! AAAH! AAAH! AAAH!
And granted, the purple shade is not the nice lavendar I originally had in mind. It's much darker, but I think it could be very striking on me.
BUT I CAN'T BUY ANY MORE YARN. Until, until, until. Until I finish Bella, Vogue, my cable strap tank, Jack, make something out of those 700 yards of black wool that keep taunting me, etc...
But. I. Want. To.
And really, I think Otis' hat, like my stash hat just attracts people's attention for whatever reason. I'm getting into all sorts of random conversations with people (on the bus today) about it. With the stash hat, it was after the fact, and not during, but I guess hats just catch people's eyes.
Hats, or DPNs.
