so
nothing much to write to be honest....
i finished 2 of my scarves (now a total of 6 to be done...whatsamatta with me????)
so i have 4 to go...i finished the my so called scarf for my boss lady, and the one with bernat bamboo for a coworker....and let me just say, that yarn is so soft! i was out and about in ac moore one night and i saw it, and i felt it and it was soft and i had to have it...but i only bought 2 skeins....so the scarf is just about 4' long, but i think thats ok on account my coworker is just barely 5' tall....and she's not the type that does the wrapy wrapy with the scarf, ya know just behind the neck...so i think it will be ok....and the my so called scarf, i think it could have been a little bit longer, well, at least for my taste....its for my boss lady, she's only like, 6 years older than me, so she'd probably do the wrapy wrapy, which can be done with this, it doesn't hang that long, maybe to the chest....if she just wears it around once, it'll be ok, but its long enough to go around the neck, plus it is kinda wide....but it came out good....there are a few rows that are totally effed up....they happened when ya know, i put down the scarf for a week or so and picked it back up again thinking i remembered the stitch patter, and alas, i did not....ohwell...its not that noticable.....she won't tell, just me...and then i bought all this extra yarn becuase i didn't have enough sws for this one scarf i was going to make for my aunt, and i wasn't happy with the stash i had to make one for my other coworker, so at walmart i bought some more yarn, but then the next day i wasn't happy with that either, so i went back to michaels, and bought some more sws in one dye lot, and decided to use what i just bought (i bought like 4 skeins) and then what's to stop me from using that receipt to return the other 2 i had bought a while back in a different dye lot? different dyelots don't have different skus....and some other yarn.....so then i had these 2 yarns not knowing with what to do, so i decided to knit for my other aunt and my other coworker (who i owe armwarmers to....tee hee)....ugh...so, 2 done, 1 40% done, 1 cast on, and 2 still trying to figure out what to do.....
for some reason i keep working on the scarves instead of the sweater for louie when i'm not around him....which makes no sense! i mean, he doesn't mind when i knit around him, so i should just knit the scarves when we're at each other's houses, and just knit the sweater when i'm actually home and not with him....but no! i keep picking up a scarf and starting a new one....do i think the sweater is too daunting? like, if i get all the scarves done i'll get the sweater done? i don't know....because they're less of an undertaking? i don't know.....but i've got about 8 rows of increasing to do before putting the sleeves on scrap yarn and just knitting the body.....which i mean, it is going quicker than i realize, i'm back at that stitch marker before i know it sometimes....or so it seems.....so, i hope it stays that easy for me....and ya know, i really think it has to do with the addi turbos....where as i normally prefer bamboo needles, only with the straights though, apparantly....the circulars, i guess i prefer anything but bamboo, so the yarn comes off the needles better...but omg i love the addis....i kind of want to go back and get every size and every length.....but that's just me....and ya know, its true what they say about the yarn....i was making this afghan for my sister's friend, using red heart and omg that yarn sucks! and it took me forever to do it....but i'm totally loving the knitpicks swish superwash....its so soft and doesn't feel like wool at all...i love......will definately use again, and it was affordable...i was going to use the cascade 220, but it was like twice as much, and i'd still need a lot of yarn on account i need to make an xxl, then i checked out the knitpicks superwash....and found the color, got it and i love it....
so its getting colder 'round these parts, and louie says to me the other night that he's going to break out his sweaters, and previously we were talking about the sweater curse and i said that i know he wouldn't dump me, but i'm probably not going to knit him one anyways, and then he said something about wanting a grey cardigan and i said a cardigan? not a pullover? and he says he never wears pullovers...and i go wtf!!! you have a whole bunch of them! and he said "those aren't pullovers, they're chestwarmers..." so then the curse wouldn't apply, because i'd be knitting him a chestwarmer, not a sweater...so, i'm in the clear!
ok, we got a temp at work yesterday.....and so i'm showing her how to do a report that i normally do but don't have time for during holiday, so she's doing this report, and thank God she picked up like it was nothing! our temps last year were wastes of space like you wouldn't believe....so she's sitting here doing this report on my computer, and i have a lot of other stuff to do....her computer isn't set up yet....and after a few hours of just sitting there doing nothing, i look at my knitting back which is calling to me, and i knit....her computer isn't set up yet, and i move too fast through the stuff i do that she wouldn't pick up on anything and she won't be doing it anyways, so i figure, let her do this report and get comfortable with it, and i'll do some knitting! and omg, i don't think i have ever been so upbeat at work...i looked to my work-sister and i said "omg if i could knit every day at work i'd be so friggin happy!" so of course now the temp has her own computer, and i'm sitting here trying to think of how i could knit....stupid me changed the layout of my cube, so now i face out (which was done to prevent people sneaking up on me while on craftster/ravelry/myspace (before we were blocked)/webkinz) but if i was facing in the corner like i had been, i could hide the knitting under the desk....and then last week we had a meeting in nyc, and so they bussed us jerseyites in, and i was knitting on the bus...and i was so tempted to knit during the meeting, but there were too many higher ups around me....but i totally could have gotten away with it....
side note, since ravelry, i've been spending less time on craftster....i was always mainly a lurker there, looking at everyone's projects, but, the few handful times i actually posted myself, i kind of got a rude vibe from people, but then i think it happens to me on most message boards, i'm such a thread killer, it always seems that whenever i post, the thread dies....but not like i say anything really that'll kill, i don't say avada kedavra or anything....it might just be a coincidence? who knows....but threads die when i post.....whatever
ok, i should do work or something......i can't wait for holiday to really start, even tho all the stores do stupid stupid shit all the time, it still keeps me busy.....
should i work? or try and figure out how to do some knitting without getting in trouble...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
