Adventures in dullness.
My week, I think, was a taste of what is yet to come. We're gradually entering the busy season where I work, a season that brings about lots of overtime (I keep telling myself "yarn money.") and very little knitting (except on the bus when I manage to stay awake).
My Pirates hat has a grand total of two more rows. My A.V. v-neck's back is a few rows into the raglan shaping.
The exciting news is that Matthew and I finally started cleaning out the basement (our house used to be his grandparents', and we're charged with cleaning everything out). One room is a craft room, as Matthew's grandma was way into the fiber arts. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of really cool knitting stuff, but there's the occasional gem. Cleaning out the room, I found myself wishing I could've met her; we would've gotten along well. Now I've moved in my crafting stuff and started settling in a bit; it will be nice to have everything organized.
I dinked around with Movable Type for the past two hours; I wasn't successful. I'm getting a 500 error, but I've verified and re-verified that everything was uploaded as ASCII and has the correct permissions. I give up. Blogger is just fine for me; really, all I want is comments emailed to me, and I can get that by paying Haloscan a few bucks. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?
Have you seen the Spring IK preview? I'm underwhelmed, as I was with the Winter issue. My underwhelmth shows with my lack of renewed subscription (I keep meaning to renew, really, but I'm not finding much reason to). My favorites from the preview are the lace pullover and the fair isle jacket. Though I'm sure Bobby'll hate me for it, I'm more keen on Vogue's Winter issue, especially this must-knit. See, I expect Vogue to be a little on the wild and unwearable side, so seeing wild and unwearable stuff from it doesn't turn me off. The last several issues have had several incredible designs, which make them entirely worth the price.
My cardigan yarn shan't be too long in coming!
