Summer Knitty

So, summer Knitty is out. Thoughts, opinions? Me personally, I just don't see me making like, anything in it. Yeap, that's right, well, maybe Cigar. Maybe. Not for smoking reasons, but because, well, because I use those three fingers most in knitting too. ^_^. Me personally, I can't imagine the boyfriend wearing any of it. And the Obey scarf may just be a little too cool for me. If not too cool, It could just be that I'm still slowly making my way through the Azkaban scarf, and another two months of Stockinette more or less just isn't my bag. Of course..

New techniques could be learned. I've never intarsiaed before. I'm not sure what that verbs into, but I figure I like 'intarsiaed' and well, I'm gonna use it. Maybe it will be like the time my friend convinced me to help him bring the word 'righteous' back into popularity. He lasted about a month, and years later, I still say the word righteous. That's right kids, you heard it here first, I'm so totally lame, that sometimes it hurts. Other than that, I got the new KnitPicks catalouge in the mail today, and in it were some pretty lace alpaca scarves that I could own the pattern for and make all three for under twenty dollars. Seriously, it's so stupid it hurts. I don't even really wear lacy things, but I'm sure I could incorporate it somehow.

Speaking of which, I need to buy new clothes. I wake up every day and scrounge for clothes because well, I work at an office now, and they don't let me wear jeans and a t-shirt. My old offices always did, but here it's at least slacks. Total bummer. I did however buckle down a bit wilst working this weekend, and churned through the rest of the ninth repeat on the Azkaban scarf (progress had halted completely), got about half-way through the right ankle sock for my sock pal, and well, got at least a little ways into the second (of three) ball of the Ribbed Shrug. And Christine left me a note with pattern info for that super cute dress she made. I wonder if I could toss that on with a shrug for work.. Could I tax deduct the yarn as a business expense?! Man, talk about the IRS being screwed. I'd just spend all of my income on yarn, instead of most of it!

Oh crap, the new Interweave was out today. I meant to hit the bookstore and at least look at it. Work kept me late today, and intends to keep me late tomorrow. However, they're building a new Starbucks relatively close to where I live, and man, I doubt seriously I could hate that job like I hate mine. (go go optimism!) That and I think they don't care if my hair were to be bright pink. That in and of itself may be enough to keep me going!
