It's been a month since anyone's posted. Although I have photos, I also have little time, so I'm going to post a quick summary of my crafty life at the moment and post pictures after lesson plans and bills. Ahhh real life.
Scarves - those pretty ruffle scarves have taken over my life. The first four were RIDICULOUSLY fun to make, by the fifth, I think I want to die a little. There was the bamboo one in blue, a pretty pink-dusty purple one, sunset-reds and one in what Kim referred to as mermaid green. The green one was for a friend and I gots to make money off of it! The ones on the needles right now are made of Filatura Della Crossa mohair, and it's black, shimmery and a little rainbow-sy, and I owe another teacher one. Yay things I'm being paid for. But like all things I'm being paid for, it's getting a little overwhelming.
Needles -- ADDIS. ADDIS ADDIS ADDIS. THEY TOOK OVER MY LIFE. THEY ARE CRACK. THAT IS ALL.
Sweaters -- Yes, sweaters! I have this awesome pattern on Knitty that I'm following, nice simple ribbed sweater. I'm making it out of Skacel Divine which is such a beautiful and soft yarn. However, with multiple projects going, it's sorta slow. On Monday or Tuesday I have to go pick up some more Berrocco Ultra Alpaca because eventually I'm starting Alex's man-sweater, which is the Wallaby sweater, a knit hoodie!
Food -- We just had a pie party in which there were NINE PIES. Okay, two of them were rice krispie pies but hey. SO MUCH FOOD. I also made lots of Korean food (funny since I'm not Korean) and apparently, really good eggplant. Pictures of the pies are definitely in order.
Books -- Bought Twinkle's Big City Knits. LOVING it, although putting another project on the needles would most likely kill me right now. Will review later. :D
Lesson plans and bills -- still not done!
