Snow. Seriously.

Well, spending my glorious Friday day off with the parents (well, really, in the parent's house while they're at work) and rather enjoying the snow that's been falling all day. I've also been enjoying playing with my parents' digital camera! So, here we go.


Snow on the cherry blossoms

Just look at it

My sweater; with about 7 inches left to go on the second (front) piece. Then, it's just sleeves!!

Kat's mitts, to match her scarf. Hopefully, pics of the scarf soon. I just have to wrangle Kat.

Kat's Scarf

Well, Kat has received her scarf. It went over well, and I am very happy. Though I purchased the same dye lot for the balls of yarn, one of them had much brighter reds and oranges than the other two. I emailed the company about it, and they are being awesome and sending me three complimentary skeins. Life is good. That about wraps it up for now...I'm currently being lazy at the coffee shop and making a lengthy post is just being too productive.

Dad's Hat and Other Things

This is my Dad using the hat I knit for him at his Freeze Your Butt Off contest. It's made from Lion Brand Yarn's Homespun in Rococo. This yarn is pretty decent to work with; it's soft and has a neat look, without being expensive (not to mention it's available at the Michael's on the way home from work.) The first scarf I ever knit, also the second project ever knit, was in this yarn in Cotton Candy. This is very pink. I don't think the swatch on the website really does it justice. They're not kidding around when they call it vibrant.

The seed stitch purse I've been working on for at least a month is my current project. I finally finished Kat's wild scarf and so I feel I must finish this purse...no matter how boring it can be. I've been having more fun dreaming up how many trillions of pockets shall be on the inside lining.

Last night I did something I had promised myself I would never do: I bought yarn without a real purpose for it. To moderate myself, I only got one skein. Well, really, I sort of have in the back of my head a hat I want to make out of it. But there's no set project.

Well that's it for now, I suppose...I'll blabber more later.
