wow, its been awhile, but i have a good excuse….well kinda. I’ve been extremely busy find an apartment, moving into the apartment, and getting used to the new job. I’ve been slowly unpacking and making my new home feel homey, but its not done yet so i’ll refrain from sharing photos of it. The living room is nearly done, but i’d love to be able to get a coffee table, but we just can not afford one yet. Perhaps someone will get rid of one and donate it to the ‘i’m poor and just moved, help me’ fund, haha.
i went to walmart today in search of some christmas wrapping paper, frames for some artwork i have and other random things i keep telling myself i need, and i found the best winter candy in the entire world! Bob’s Soft peppermint Sticks. I love these things, and they are great if you make a nice hot mug of cocoa and then stick one of these suckers in. They melt and make the cocoa all minty and even more delicious, yum! so i think everyone should go to there local store and pick some of these things up. If you are anti-walmart (i prefer not to go there, but i do anyway) CVS sells soft peppermints, they arnt sticks, they are bite sized, but very soft and extremely tasty, so thats another option.
So i guess cause this is a knitting blog i should probably update a bit about my knitting progress. The fabulous grey sweater i’ve been knitting is still on hold, and i’m also working on the hat the i mentioned previously. In addition i’m picking out different things to knit for people for christmas (obviously at this point in the game its all little stuff, i procrastinated wayyyy to long) and casting those things on. Now this one hat i’m making is a pain in my ass, i love the pattern but the itty bitty cables take forever! i’m slower then death when it comes to making cables, and the smallness just doesn’t help that!
Well, i was till cruising on the hat despite the small cable issue up until yesterday. See the board the pattern is on in the photo, well its a magnetic board, and i mark the row i’m on with the magnet, but when i moved it the stupid magnet came flying off cant i cant for the life of me figure out what row im on! I thought i knew, then like halfway through the knitting the row it didn’t look right to me, and i had to rip back. I’ve started and ripped back a few times and am still not completely sure where i should be. FRUSTRATING. I’ve set it aside for right now in hopes that maybe when i’m more clear headed and havent looked at it for a bit i’ll be able to figure it out. ughhhhh.
I’ll try to update more often now, after all i’ll be finishing lots of projects soon…well thats the plan anyway, but i suppose thats all for now.
Really Fantastic {knitted} Stuff
