Holiday Knitting/Crochet/Giftmaking
Hoo boy. I am desperately hoping my friends do not read this blog because if so, I'm not surprising anyone ):
I figure I'm going to type this out so I don't forget. Time to put the hoodiesweaterthing on hold and start the holiday stuff. Cause you know, you just can't finish everything 2 weeks before Christmas
What I need to knit/crochet/etc:
1. Nautie (Knity's knitted nautilus). This is actually almost done. Just need to finish it up now.
2. 3 aminekos in black green and blue. Need? Sugar and Cream cotton yarn in black green blue and white. Yay for me. also need polyfil and plastic pellet things. yay, michaels.
3. amigurumi squid/octopus. need? light blue cotton yarn. I maintain that amigurumis should be made in cotton and only cotton.
4. Baudelaire from Knitty. Need yarn.
5. Fetching. I think cheap acrylic (Caron Simply Soft FTW) will do.
6. Multiple scarves. Something like 5 scarves. I can probably just make garter stitch scarves with random yarn changes. I can finally abuse random stash yarns!
7. Bag. I'm gonna make this one from plastic bags.
8. Multiple crocheted jellyfish amigurumi. I came up with the pattern myself. Hm, I should post pics.
I was considering knitting a sweater, but the whole sweater curse thing.. yeah.

Yaaaarn
So. I recently got a debit card.
Meaning I can now purchase things online
This will be so hard to not abuse.
And I still haven't started the second limewire sock.
I recently purchased two balls of Sugar and Cream because I liked the colors. I don't know what I can make though. I'm thinking a bag or a tank top.
In other news, I'm going to finish my sweater before school starts. Yes I will. :(

Projects
Limewire socks are now 45% complete!
I'm already suffering from second sock syndrome, and i haven't even finished the first one yet. :(
Anyways, I'm going to be modding a lot of clothing in the next week. I've also got my holiday knitting to start on. Too bad I can't show WIPs or FOs until after Christmas. :/ But yay for stash busting projects! New yarn~ <3
I still lack the patience to knit large things like sweaters.
In other news, I've found that a stockingnette scarf with the first and last 3 stitches as rib stitch won't curl heavily on itself.
Gah, warm up america blocks to do @___@

Size 19?!
Last Christmas, my best friend, in mockery of my slight knitting obsession, gave me a pair of SIZE 19 needles. When would I ever use these? Still, it was pretty funny.
They came into use today... I knitted a braided cable scarf using two strands of Caron Simply Soft (Dark Country Blue and Light Sage. Yeah, its kinda iffy.) Pictures to come once I get un-lazy and actually upload things from the camera >_>; Still working on the fringe, though. It took so little time though. Yay for huge needles!

Yay
Summer Knitty is out! Go check it out! It's pretty cool, as theres a LOT of stuff, mostly stuff for your hands and feet.
I think I'm going to knit Fetching and Lickety Split after I
a) finish my current projects
b) finish using up the icky acrylics in my stash
c) get fingering/ sport weight yarn
Sigh. A long way to go, I guess.

A bit old
This is a bit old, about a month ago. This one goes up to my knees now.
Actually, that was my second attempt. Which I frogged. Along with the first. This one didn't fit as nicely as I wanted it too.
Oh well. Toe up socks for the win!
I'm using Caron Simply Soft black and limelight.

Socks
I admit it, I have knitting project ADHD. So while I'm working on my extra deep ribbed hoodie thing, I got lazy and bored after I cast off the front piece. So I started socks. But I increased too much, so :'< it's all frogged now. I took a photo though... Once I find my camera cable.

Intro
Hey. I'm addicted to fiber.
No, not the plant kind!
Ever since I can remember, I've loved sewing and related fiber arts. I love the idea of creating something totally new or changing something into something else. I mean, seriously, making a sweater out of a really long piece of string- how cool is that?
Anyways, I sew and knit. Sometimes crochet. Maybe one day, I'll pick up dyeing and spinning and weaving.
