Options!

I got my new zypher needles in the other day!! sadly, i was in Boston for the last 5 days, I just got back today and haven’t gotten a chance to try them out yet, which i’m not very happy about. They are beautiful though and look (and feel a bit) like glass. I hope they feel as fantastic to knit with as they look. I ordered more zippy cases for my needle binder with my yarn order the other day so that should be in soon to.

Another thing about being gone for 5 days, i haven’t gotten to work on my sweater at all, which is pretty depressing. Then again, five days of not knitting has let my index finger heal, i ripped a hole in it knitting a blanket on size 4 options needles (the nickle plated ones). I ordered the zyphers in the small sizes in hopes that wouldn’t happen again.

While I was down in Boston I got to visit both Ikea and The Container Store, and i want to live in either of those stores! i bought a fabulous bed side table and put it all together tonight, as you can see by the picture above. I even took photos of the time at the begining and end of the project, a little less then 2 hours, not bad if i say so myself. Its a pretty tall table for next to a bed, but my bed is pretty tall, so i don’t really care. and i LOVE all the storage it has. My mom mentioned that i should paint my yarn cabinet white to match, and think that’s a fantastic idea. first off, painting is a bit easier then staining, and then i wont have just one random piece of white furniture in my room.

So, who wants to come paint my yarn cabinet then? just kidding…..kinda
