socks and more socks.

I ordered three sets of Harmony Circular Needles from Knit Picks and I've been checking my order status every five minutes as if all of a sudden its going to say "your order is on your front stoop". The boyfriend thinks he's funny by saying "What does it say now"?

I've been doing 2 at a time socks using the Berry Season Pattern. I don't like the yarn I'm using, but I figured it was just for practice. My next pair of socks (when i get my new needles, that is!) is going to be made using Red Heart- Heart & Sole in Mellow Stripe. I love self striping socks. <3

I still haven't gotten around to putting my newest projects on Ravelry...lazy.

Something I've Never Seen before!

I just wanted to share this little tidbit with anyone who reads this. Last night, Jeremy went out to have his nightly 12AM cigarette (boo), and called me outside. Annoyed that I had to put shoes on, I dragged my feet outside and scowled angrily at him. "WHAT?"

He points up. The moon has this circle of light around it. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. We didn't know what it was, so we went inside and looked it up.

This is what we found out. Cool, huh? In my twentysomething years on Earth, I've never seen/noticed this happening. Its fun to be dating a science nerd.

In other news, I've been knitting little gifts for Christmas. So far I have a pair of house socks, a wine cozy, and two pairs of slippers done. I'm working on a small cabled clutch right now. Too lazy to take photos right now, but I'm off tomorrow so I'm sure I'll get around to it.

Neverender, here I come!

I've been working on this hat for a while now. It is the first thing I have designed myself. My dad helped me graph the dragonfly design, which is of course a symbol of the band Coheed and Cambria. My lovely boyfriend bought me tickets to see the entire Neverender Tour, which is probably going to be one of the most fun events of my life <3

Living Large?

So, apparently my poor greenjeans sweater is GINORMOUS. I'm at the sleeves with it now. I lost interest in it, being that it is not going to fit me. I do not have the patience to frog it, either. I'm already contemplating my next sweater adventure. I will finish my GINORMOUS sweater, though.

I've been pretty good about using up the yarn that I have recently. Someone also contacted me through ravelry and offered to buy 2 skeins of Queensland collection Bengali off of me.

I spotted yarn at the NY Ren Faire this weekend. Of course I took a picture.


This photo was taken during the living chess match, where the yarn wielding girl proceeded to wrap yarn around a man's ankles to take him down. And he hit the ground, hard. Huzzah!

A coworker of mine got a job working the Ren Faire as Fifi Oeufe, Egg seller, and as a Siren of Sterling.


How cute is she?

So this is what Sunrise Looks Like?

Thanks to the boyfriend and his department store opening early, I got to see the sun rise. I couldn't get back to sleep this morning. Yankee Candle Good Morning and Tea and Honey are going to be burning. I'm not sure how this combination will work out. A bowl of cereal sounds really good right now.

Yarning again.

So I'm annoyed at blogger for mysteriously losing my access to my other blog. I really liked my web address, too.

This is my second attempt at blogging about yarn.

A week or so ago, I decided to knit a stuffed animal out of this giant pound of yarn that I've had since I was 17. I made two pairs of pocketbook slippers and a Bob. I named her Q-tip because her nose definitely could be one. Not that anyone tried doing that... *whistles*

Here she is in all her glory.



The boyfriend started playing Elder Scrolls: Oblivion again, so Q decided to map out a trip of the Imperial City.


Its easy to get lost there. Trust me.

Plans for today:

• Laundry
• Panera (maybe... I really enjoyed going there by myself.. Just me, some soup, yarn, and a book)
  
• Oblivion
• Pirates
  
• Pineapple express

Its fun having a day off.
