SO. TIRED. *falls asleep*

Also? I need something new to knit. I have a pair of mitts on the needles (this pattern, Fetching, always goes quickly for me. One down, one to go!) and my self-striping Noro Silk Garden scarf (slowly growing. I need shorter US7 needles), but people...I NEED MORE. The Shawl of Doom is finished. I have a bunch of yarn that I should, really, be USING. My hands, they long for something new. *sigh* I'm not sure I'm up for something epic like the SoD, but I think I might be a lace convert, surprisingly enough. (I know, I'm as surprised as you!) I have a bunch of worsted weight wool, a bunch of fingering, even a couple skeins of sock yarn. And, as it so happens, I have a skein and a half of the garnet alpaca I used for the SoD that I sorta wanna make something out of...*sigh* SOMETHING NEW. PLEASE?

[edit 5:14pm] Actually, I think I'm gonna use my leftover alpaca for this scarf.

OMG THOSE GLOVES ARE AWESOME. I have a Jayne hat coloured pair, thanks to my dear hjea. SO COMFY OMG. That stripey scarf is gorgeous, too. I think the idea of self-striping yarn is freaking amazing, too.

Noro has some freakin' GORGEOUS colorways too. I'd knit 'em just to see what color comes next *giggle*

I always have and always will covet those gloves. I could have used them this past winter. I seem to spend a lot of time with gloves off - doing up carseat buckles, zipping little coats, putting little wee mittens on over and over.

That scarf is freaking lovely. The SoD is so beautiful but it's intimidating. The scarf is so delicate and inviting.

The SoD also took bloody forever. Is too epic for me to start something like that again soon. I have the first 5 rows of the scarf on the needles though. YAY!

Fingerless mitts are the bomb, specially when you've got a wee one to deal with. *nodnod*

I wish I had the wherewithal for knitting. I just can't seem to get the hang of doing it properly. I'm constitutionally incapable of casting on, so my mom does that part. Then I knit like 7 crappy rows, get frustrated, and go find something else to do. Possibly with an episode of pulling it all out except the first row and trying again, but that depends on how many years since the previous attempt. :) It's too bad because I love knitted things. And I really hate not being good at something that I want to be good at.

I think you're too hard on yourself. <3<3<3 Dude, you can drive a car, right? Operate a computer? You can knit. And even if you mess up, no one dies, and no electronical devices blow up. *wink* Someday, I will show you that you're fully capable. Frsrs. Hell, I can't even drive and I can knit. So can you. <3

I actually really like knitting lace. :)) Yay knitting! I think you should knit more socks. *nod* Did I ever show you the awesome sock book my mom got me for Christmas? It has so many patterns that I'm itching to do.

[chubbybunnie.livejournal.com]

You didn't show me @ book, but I totally have sock yarn for you that I will ACTUALLY BRING THIS TIME NO I MEAN IT FRSRS. ^^;;

EEEEEEEEEEEEEESOCKS!

Dude, I didn't make any knitting icons because I couldn't find any pics to work with. *sad* Plus you know me. Easily distracted by shiny. :))
