oyceterJoy! The new issue of Knitty is up!
I may have bought even more yarn. Um. Yes. Despite the fact that I am still working on my first sweater and am only halfway through, I seem to be finding even more patterns I want to knit!
(this post is interrupted because free breakfast has appeared at work, along with fresh coffee! I am perpetually amused at how people will immediately spread the word and descend like vultures on the hapless pastries. Not that I would ever do that, of course ^_~)
But they had some balls of cotton yarn at Michael's going for 97 cents a ball. That means I can knit up a cute tank top or t-shirt for 10 dollars! I'm going back tomorrow afternoon to pick up more, heh heh heh.
I am also in two knitting circles, which are actually incredibly fun and relaxing, one of which is with some people at work, which is really nice and a good way to get to know people.
I'm just really enjoying this, even dropping stitches or trouble-shooting other people's mistakes. For some reason, I like the mathy bits of converting patterns from one gauge to another, and I like figuring out how all the stitches fit together so I can figure out what happened to make a hole in the fabric.
Since there are only so many scarves I can knit for myself and foist off on my family, was sort of wondering if anyone would be interested in assorted knitted pieces. Hats, blankets, random whatnot that I may like knitting but not wearing... Still sort of wondering if they would be sell-able for a teeny amount or to cover shipping, or as presents or whatnot.
Aaand, this is all counting-eggs-before-hatching, given that I haven't even finished my sweater yet!
