I put knitting aside after the total abomination of my Meathead Hat & The green version of Thorpe to read World War Z. It's excellent, an "oral history of the zombie apocalypse". Usually I'm not that into science fiction, or really much of any pleasure reading when school isn't in session - but this book had me totally loving it.
That's it. I'm flying to Florida for a few days to visit my dad, so maybe knitting will make it down with me, but probably not. I've been baking a lot lately, lots of biscotti because its been such a chilly, cold summer that having the oven on is no big deal.
happy knitting:)

Meathead Hat
About a week ago I drove a half hour up north from me to visit my friends. Very close to their house is a yarn shop, so we drove right over. The first time we went, the store was closed due to the owner having a family emergency, and the second time I bought two skeins from Plymouth Yarn called Trabajos Del Peru, which is a beautiful yarn. I love it, it reminds me of Manos but it has the most perfect flow of thick to thin, combined with not so subtle changes in color.
Except the pattern, and I - are not getting along. And the yarn? It's pooling.
Check it out for yourself. I have no idea what to do(besides, obviously add more stitches).

Summertime!

hi:)
As I mentioned previously I've had the motivation of a well fed sloth, even with school getting out two weeks ago. I started a hat, then ripped it out because I didn't follow the instructions and apparently I have decided that I will be following patterns a bit closer since usually I just knit and then I'm generally unhappy with whatever I knit because I didn't follow the instructions in the first place. Get me? However, I wanted to knit badly a day or two after school got out, but instead I found ever single loose ball of yarn and wound it.
And I took pictures.
I have them uploaded at Flickr which seems to be better than how I previously used to upload pictures, so I suppose that I am going to have 8 "posts" today, 7 with pictures and one with text (this one).
But anyway, Suzanne & Nicole, you are great & I heart you! Thanks for reading, and I would love love love to knit with you Suzanne! Are we friends on Rav? Because we should be if we aren't!
Anyway I have a friend from Local University lacrosse that likes to knit so we are going to visit Yarn It which is about ten minutes away from her non-university house. We tried visiting last week, but the owner had a family emergency so we got to the yarn store only to find the store closed! It was horrible! However we are going to try again this Thursday, so hopefully I'll have more yarn to show you:) I would like to buy yarn for the entrelac hat or scarf I have on my queue on Ravelry . Thanks Nicole for clarifying the pronunciation!!!!
ok thats it for now, thanks for reading !!! :)
