Well, I know its been awhile; but I've been a little busy. I got a field placement at a hotel (yay!) and am still holding off on my shopping until I get to Toronto... which was postponed now twice. Perhaps next weekend? I'm dying here! I want my gorgeous Brittany needles! (and to find a store that sells lantern moon because damn are they gorgeous and kawartha yarns went tits up last year. *sigh*)
Anyhoo, I was also helping to arrange a knitter's fair for charity, which was awesome even though the attendance sucked. (and yes I bent the shopping rule again, but nothing over $20 and I won more pomp-a-doodle than I can shake a stick at.) But that was taking up my blogging time. That and getting re-addicted to super nintendo and some much valued reading time. (1 book down, 4 more to go through my little cozy!)
So the royal pain in the ass kimono is still not done. I discovered I've been doing the burgundy swatches wrong and so, being thoroughly annoyed I banished it to the corner to collect dust for now. On the bright side I finally finished my scrap skirt project that has been going since new years eve, however it needs some size adjustments.
Today I finished my first dpn project of an amigurumi yoda for my husband. It is so adorable, and so easy! However I still loathe the dpns especially since accidentally stabbing myself in the rib with one of the little blighters!
Anyways, today I'm just hanging out in the sunshine and working on an adorable sundress for my niece who turns 3 in August. It's going to take a great deal of diligence to get this one done on time!
Happy knitting!
