Yay!

I went out of town yesterday and just got home this morning. So I am exhausted but rather happy. I got so much knit stuff it is unfunny. Tons of new lovely lovely yarn, plus a package from knit picks I had been waiting for. Some new needs, I have to add them into my Ravelry account and a few books. I picked up a book on loom knitting and some DPNS and a book on sock knitting. I really want to give it a go. we shall see how I do.

I have tons of projects to post, Not too many are rock and roll. But that will come I hope. I need to make me a set of fingerless gloves. I am thinking the black sock yarn for that.

Well that is it. I need to do a lot of things on line, but I have to clean house and start dinner soon.

So

ROCK AND ROLL

Well I have been crafting non stop for the past two weeks. I finished my first loom thingy. Looming doesn't suck as much as I thought it did. I found myself a good cast on and bind off that I like so I just have to learn the knit stich next and I"ll make something else.

I am working on my rasta hat and I am kind of bored. I tihnk I will make food next. I feel like making food. I shall make a douhnut and coffee. And then some more dishcloths.

Meh

So a friend of mine loves loom knitting. So I went out and picked me up a set of the round looms. I wanted to share her love of her chosen craft. I can't stand it. All the blasted wrapping, then the yanking the yarn over the pegs with the little hook, then the wrapping again, then the yanking again. It is annoying.

With the needles there is not nearly so many extra steps, plus it is easier to hold. You don't have this big thing sitting in your lap, I don't know what to do with the ball of yarn. It doesn't feel like it is on the right side. My fingers get in the way of the wrapping. I am not going to quit. I am going to finish this scarf. It is going quickly. Maybe by the time I get done with the scaf, I'll like it.

Right now Loom knitting gets a 2 out of five stars.

Ninja Napped!

I was crocheting a Ninja for the boyfriend of the girl I am swapping with (holy convaluted sentence batman) Because I don't know much about him and well everyone likes Ninja's right?

Anyway. It was the last thing left and I just finished it like 20 minutes ago. And the hubby woke up and promptly stole it! Now I have to crochet another one. No big deal but damn. Didn't even ask. Just picked it up and walked out the door with it.

Yes!

I found the magazine that has the scarf pattern. I am so happy! Dance Dance Dance.
