I am bored to death. Naturally, this is because I have too many things to do, none of which I actually want to do. Also, I think my brain has been mathed out, since I've been staring blankly at Fibonacci sequence problems for a good hour straight.

So, entertain me by making me entertain you!

I was going to make a poll, but I am so brain dead that I can't even think of good poll items. Tell me what to post about or posts/comments that you'd like to see!

(And for the knitters out there, new Knitty, new Magknits and the spring/summer Vogue Knitting preview are all up, yay! I am dying for the white lace things in VK already. And Elann currently has Rowan Tapestry on sale, which I've coveted for a while but don't know what to do with. Must go home to consult patterns.)

Yeah, I love the Isabella too!

I think I'd be more excited about the socks if I actually knit socks... someday...

But I do also like the Palette and possibly Ribena, with a few modifications to the neckline to lower it somewhat.

It's so insane. My brain has been so dead lately that I've been itchy to knit... wait for it... stockinette.

You know why stockinette is called that, right? I think it's SOCK TIME. :) But maybe I'm unduly influenced with the awesome crop of Knitty socks this season.

Actually, I could send you the pattern for the "Rock & Weave" socks (http://www.bluemoonfiberarts.com/other_product_detail.php?other_category_id=10&other_product_id=21) I just made. They're all stockinette for the shaped part, so really pretty easy, and they're a great excuse for cute buttons.

(Would offer to teach you sock knitting during Wiscon, only, you know, Wiscon is happening that whole time. Are you coming this year, did you say?)

Ooooo that would be most welcome! Man, I was so tempted to join the Socks that Rock club, despite the fact that a) I can't afford it, b) I have enough yarn to last me two years already, c) I have eighteen other projects, d) it's too expensive, e) it's too expensive and f) it's still too expensive.

Sigh. Ditto with Sundara's Petal Collection. I so want to get that for myself as a birthday present, except... my birthday is in July -_-;;.

Teach me sock knitting!! Or, I may end up figuring it out myself, but we should have a mini knit-together at something! Also, I saw they were possibly offering Knitting for Boys II, which made me happy. Oh, yeah, btw, that means I am going. Yay!

The best thing about the Socks That Rock club is that it has a waiting list miles long, so I am not in danger of buying in. I didn't even know about the Petal Collection, that's really pretty. Uh-oh. (I did resist buying the dye-it-yourself yarns from Dharma Trading on the group tie-dye order rubricity just made!)

Definitely knit-together! And yay Wiscon! I'll send you the pattern and we can see how far you get; I bet you can do it yourself, really, but I'm happy to answer questions and give tips.

[oyceter]

It really does! And yet, I visit my LYS and fondle all the Blue Moon yarn there.

Muhahaha, at least now I am not the only one resisting the Petal Collection!
