I am still alive. No, I was not attacked by a growing Rogue. It is growing, though. I didn't work on it for a little while because I just... didn't, but I've picked it back up the past couple of days. The hood is a bit over halfway done, and it's all looking very good. It fits, even, though I wish it was a bit longer; maybe blocking will help that as well as my funny-looking cables.
I'm very impatient with cables, so they don't look nearly as perfect as all the other Rogues I'm seeing. Ah, well. People will be impressed nonetheless, and that's all I care about, of course - impressing people. *wink*
I was thinking about that yesterday, actually. What is the point of knit blogging? For me, it's mostly about becoming popular. I celebrate every new thousand-mark my counter passes and squeal with glee when it turns out that people specifically searched for my blog. I long for the day when I can see my name in everyone's blog... Maybe if/when I submit/get a pattern in one of the online mags (or, if we wish to really look to the stars, a REAL mag). I AM MEANT TO BE FAMOUS!!!
*ahem*
I missed knitting last night, because I'm a turd. I had very little sleep and the nap I took made me weird and jittery. Then I worked through some stuff with my boyfriend, which left me frazzled (though we DID get things worked out) and in no condition to be sociable.
I finished my Eros scarf. Since I don't have a camera, we'll have to use our imaginations. Picture an Eros scarf: that's what mine looks like (with a slight ruffle at either end).
Boyfriend's second sock has a turned heel and the foot of it is coming, gradually. I imagine that any socks I make for ME after this will be much easier. I don't have a foot requiring 88 stitches around (and it's ribbed, too).
Yesterday (and a little bit today) I made a cute scarf with Plymouth Flash (I think... I don't quite remember). I cast on just 15 stitches on 10 1/2's, made it about 5 feet long, and I think I have enough left of the ball to to *another* one. It's a very thin scarf, but it's meant for show and texture, not for warmth. This one is a gift; the next one I make is alllll mine.
My stash astounds me. Everytime I look through it I find something new and exciting. Poking around the other day got me thinking about a possible bag; I have some tortoiseshell-ish plastic handles and I think it'd be neat to do a bag of various crazy yarns using domino knitting. It'd be funky and patchworky and will probably drive me crazy, but I'm a-gonna try.
I finally, after a year of wanting to, am sending in my membership to the Minnesota Knitter's Guild and am, I hope, going to be helping them with their newsletter.
I really want to make this scarf. Pink Tea has got to be the most inspirational blog I read.
