Tagsa little bit about me
I’m liking this 4 things meme, plus sometimes I think that readers aren’t getting a full sense of “me,” since I mostly talk knitting.
yarn has arrived
But it’s a no-go.
I wasn’t fully prepared for just how BRIGHT the Crayon yarn is. And when you put the red, orange, yellow, green, and blue together. . . . Well, if it isn’t baby gay pride. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) But then I started thinking about my boss.
slacker
Part of my New Year’s resolution to dress more nicely means that I need to get my nice clothing into shape. For example, the hem on a simple black skirt that I really like has fallen, and I really need to fix it.
Now, I’m perfectly capable of sewing it back up. I can do a blind-stitch hem pretty well. But this involves clearing the desk in the guest room, setting up the sewing machine, the whole shebang. Isn’t there an easier way?? I asked. And then I realized there’s this double-sided fabric magic that will bond a hem with no seams to see or needles to thread. Just the ironing board and an iron. I can do that.
another baby!??
I just got word from a high school friend that his wife is preggers, due in May. This puts my total up to 5 babies by June/July! (I might not knit something for one of the pregnant coworkers, though how hard is a pair of bootees? I do love them so, after all.)
I’m so anxious for my Crayon yarn to arrive. I can’t track the package, though, so I have no idea where it might be. Keeping my fingers crossed that it arrives today, but maybe I’ll just get started on all the bootees for the folks who won’t get bigger deal stuff. So far the list stands at:
yarn is on its way!
The Crayon from KnitPicks shipped out yesterday. I’m really hoping it arrives by the weekend, because I have the long weekend and it’d be fun to play around with the Fibonacci blanket as soon as I can. I actually went with just five colors, following the suggestion of Diana. This way I can repeat the colors on their way around, and just that one center square is done in a single color. It’ll go red, orange, yellow, green, blue, red, orange, yellow, green. This gives the center square some oomph, and I like the lack of pink and purple. I also bought enough yarn to do two blankets–the second one in a different color order.
