Latest Ideas

Well well... I'm still in the middle of a lot of projects (as always).
I started a cowl, using what I think is called Linen stitch. (That is not my yarn, just an example.) I'm using Noro Kureyon I bought for the lanesplitter skirt that I ripped out a while ago. So far I like it, but I'm a little worried it will be too stripey color-wise. The cool thing is the front and backs are different but in a good way. I'm hoping to take it with me on my little Thanksgiving roadtrip.
also the gray blanket has made progress: Yay! I'm reaching the end of my yarn quickly. It has more red stripes and I'm excited to finish it soon.
and today I *GASP* went to the yarn store and bought a skein of brown (tweedy?) yarn in hopes to make a pair of gloves (and if i like how it knits up, maybe a hat) to go with my vintage coat I love sooo much.
I also bought orange and yellow yarn for a knit stuffed toy that I'm excited to make as a christmas present. But for now it will be a surprise. I love supporting my local yarn shop Northwest Wools. Although they are tiny, they have a lot of great yarns!

I guess I will also randomly mention that everyone is having kids, or getting married, or having birthdays, and it's hard to keep up with the gift giving... so...I'm doing what I can for the people I am closest too. Also I am hoping to someday have time to embroider some things so when I move out I will have dish towels, etc. haha.
