My new love.
I tell you, I am obsessed with this sweater:
Crichton Cardigan from Sweaters from Camp

It's gorgeous, all purple and blue and pretty. (Yes, I am aware that I keep knitting/wanting to knit purple sweaters. I don't understand it, either.)
I started some socks using my Claudia Handpainted yarn, but I'm at a loss. Sportweight yarn, 225-ish yards, size 3 needles. I'm nervous about yardage, even though I know with my history of always, always using too little yarn, I shouldn't worry. I'm also at a loss for a pattern. My current idea is to do some zig-zagging cables (originally the idea was to do randomly spaced mock cable ribbing, but I cast on a weird number and couldn't really do what I wanted to do). The yarn is knitting up very evenly, without any pooling. I'd do plain socks, but that's boring.
Currently considering a visit to Yarnzilla tomorrow. Not that I need more yarn (though I'll want to buy some if I go), but I'd like to sit around and knit. I wonder if there will be anyone to knit with.
Also, I'm a rockstar. I fixed my laptop keyboard in about 10 minutes (with help from Matthew for those tough-to-unscrew screws). Total cost: $22.50, thanks to eBay. Most people would've called Dell and paid $300 or some ungodly sum to get it fixed. *pats self on back*
