Damn You Real Life!

Alright, so, I've been a bad knit-blogger. I haven't updated much. I started a new job that I work at all of the time, and I can barely keep my eyes open. I've barely been knitting even. I'm a few rows into Hush Hush, and working on Pasha with some spare Lamb's Pride wool I had laying around. Still looking for a good cotton for that cute bag from Knitty this season.

Not a lot else going on, trying to keep my head up. More to follow hopefully. ;)
Yep, I'm still talking...

Since Last We Spoke

Alright, I've been a bad blogger. Hell, I've been a bad knitter even, I've barely touched my needles since last time I posted. But! I did manage to make it to buying some yarn at least, nothing too fancy though, I'm kind of thrifty.


The green is two skeins of Cascade 220 wool, the multi is some Bernat Sox, in the Jazz Hot colourway. (My new favourite super, super cheap sock yarn) Last night I CO for Knitty's Broadripple Sock Pattern but about twelve rows in, decided I just.. didn't like it. We were having DNS problems last night, so instead, I decided to just kind of do my own thing for a pattern. We watched Return of the King, so I've actually already turned the heel, and am about to start on the gusset. We'll see how it goes I suppose. I'm usually not much of a free-range knitter, but I'll toss some pics up when I feel like arguing with my camera again. Also waiting on my yarn for Hush-Hush, which the thought of seems to be making the boyfriend a very happy guy. Spring Knitty should be up in a day or two as well, so I imagine that there'll be something in there I can't live without and will have to buy yarn for too. ;)


In non-kniting news, I start my new job on Tuesday. While this week of unemployment has been fun, I sure do miss not being in the house most of the 24/7. :)


And for everyone who peeked at the new Knitty when it was obviously not intended, SHAME ON YOU! That is all.

Nothing but Trouble

asdf. Yeap. So, I turned the heel in my sock today, and started working on the foot part, and when I tried it on, what I knew to already be true, in fact was. The lower part of the sock is actually a bit too big for my leg. Too wide. Now, I had a suspicion this would happen from the get-go. In fact, I'd tried to avoid it even, I'd taken out a couple stitches, decreased more, and made the sock shorter. All in attempt to make the thing fit. I guess I could frog half way up the leg, and decrease more without making it look too obvious somehow, or I could just quietly give up on the damn thing, and try and salvage my knitting dignity. Speaking of destroying my knitting dignity, I must have tried to cast on for Backyard Leaves ten times last night. I think the farthest I got was like.. 7 rows in before I inevitably decided "argh!" and frogged it.

Anyway, the new Knitty is due to come out next week, so I think I'll just sit tight, and work on my sampler afghan square until then.
