holliOh, and speaking of knitting-- I need to start keeping track of my projects. So:
Almost Done: Cashmere Scarf. This this is SO SOFT. I've been keeping my eye out at the thrift store for more sweaters I can recycle, but nothing as awesome has turned up so far. Knitters on my flist: be aware. Thrift stores are the best ever for wool if you have no money.
Just Started: Autumn Leaves Scarf. I'm using a much-modified version of this-- imagine just three columns of leaves instead of five, and no border. I'm using this really pretty skein of hand-dyed laceweight wool I got at the thrift store-- other note for knitters? They sometimes also have actual yarn. And sometimes it's *nice*.
Need to get more stupid yarn from home: Laura's Sweater. Was originally My Sweater, but I don't like the fit on me.
Completed: The aforementioned four pairs of wristwarmers. One is elbow-length, with a cable! A Coronet, in blue. A hat from some red yarn i dyed, with earflaps and devil horns. One crocheted sock.
In the works: spinning more wool, and dying the six big skeins of wool I got from frogging a gigantoid thrift store sweater. Also, i want to make a matching hat-and-wrist-warmers set from Kureyon 147, or possibly 52 if they don't restock. I need to work with more greens, I think. Getting tired of purple and blue. And I promised Jake wristwarmers, too, and I want to make a kitty-ears hat for my little sister. And I'd love to knit Clapotis, if I can find a yarn I like and can fucking AFFORD.
I also got six skeins of really nice laceweight mohair-- enough for two good-sized shawls or stoles-- at a steal, but I hate working with it. I need to find someone who'll swap me for some wool I like better, or suck it up and knit already.
