Google Addict

i started using “Google Reader” and its amazing! i wasnt a big fan of going to each blog/site, which means i never did, haha, and now i dont have to! all i have to do is add the url to my google reader and when i check it it will tell me if there has been a new post, its FANTASTIC. Now i’ll actually read new blog posts, go me! Speaking of blogs, send me the URL’s of some good ones, i’m completely terrible at finding them.   Then i made igoogle my home page and i can see my gmail, google reader, weather and my gchat all there. so yeah, in the span of like an hour i became a google addict, haha.

So, i finally got to use my knitpicks Zyphers, i have mixed reviews, mostly because of the light weight thing. When they say “light weight” they mean it! its like i’m not holding anything at all, its just weird!  I prefer to have a little weight to my needles, so i’m probably going to switch back to my nickle-plated ones at some point soon to finish up my sweater. I do, however, think they will be fabulous with slick yarns because they are more grippy (or some would say ‘sticky’) then my nickle plated ones. So, most likely when i finally make something out of the fabulous 5000 yards of silk yarn i’ll be using the zyphers, then i wont have to worry about slippage. And i’m not quite sure of this last part because i’ve only used the size sevens, but the tip doesn’t seem as needle like, so therefor i shouldn’t stab myself to death, fantastic! Overall i liked them, i just prefer weightier needles, so i’ll probably just use them for smaller sized things.

And i’ve been slacking big time on my sweater, fail! so i suppose i’ll go work on that now…..and don’t forget to send me blogs to read!
