I'm also still KNITTING and, OK, I'm sorry, it's been a long, long while. I don't know what happened. Actually, I do, and school happened, as well as roommte troubles, breakups, new relationships, new things, yaddah yaddah yah.
Today I got a new camera, a Canon SD1000 to be exact. It's a boxy little sweetheart and works nice with 7.1 megapixels. Yeah, it means PICTURES!
Here's some knitting stuff I been doin'.
First, there's the Ballet Sweater from god knows what issue of Interweave Knits.
Turned out a leetle bit "stubbier" than I thought, but I also just dug it out of a box and we made peace with each other. :)
Pop!
It was a boring stockinette project, what can i say!? But there it is, voila.
My local yarn store just shut down (as did a couple others) and I made it to their close-out sales. Got some sweet wool at half price, and a lot of it. Three sweaters worth at least! I also found the Paton's pattern booklet with the Must Have Cardi in it and decided to knit that sucka! Thar she blows:
CABLES!
I'm pretty much done with the back, now I have to cast on for the front, and I plan on altering the pattern a lot. As in, I'm turning it into a sweater, and I must have it (har har).
Don'tcha think it'll look way better? To me the original pattern looks like an old man sweater. Or like I should be fishing or riding a bike in England. And I like in THE CITY so I'm goin' for fashionable and cute. I. Love. Cute.
Here's some other thangs that been happenin:
I have this boyfriend, Pat, who I'm totally proud of. He plays guitar like he's a Hendrix reincarnate.
I play drums now!
Pat and me have created a summer fun band called "Chimichanga" and we fucking rock.
We can play at your party.
We went to San Francisco so I could show him the goods of my home town. Way fun! I'll post pictures later.
Me and Pat live together and I lost a friend over it because we all lived together. A very Real World era.
I got hit by A CAR in February. It was crazy. No broken bones or anything, just major road rash, and I have scars from where I skidded along the asphalt. So, look both ways for the love of god.
I'll be back to show you more pictures of the San Francisco trip and hopefully more progress on the Must Have...
