stuff i'm currently working on:
i have many projects going on in my head which i'm sure has attributed to my faux add. (see i don't really have add, just a short attention span as a result of the over abundant amount of choices facing me on a daily basis as an average american--ha ha, see, not my fault) anyways, i'm currently designing a shoulder cozy similar to glampyre's except different yarn (black katia mohair blend--one of my favorites) and a different design (cuz i'm not using circulars on this).

picture of glampyres shoulder cozy:



second project:

stitch n bitch's "pippi kneestockings" socks on (guess what) CIRCULAR NEEDLES!!!! no frickin way? yep i'm going to give them a stab (no pun intended) i'll be once again using my own yarn and designing them based on stitch n bitch's knee socks. lemme see if i can find a picture:



wow, that came straight from the designer's blog, her name is theresa v. stenrsen. mine will of course be different cuz they won't be all stripy, i just had to use her pattern as a base because it's the only KNEESOCKS pattern i could find in a short amount of time. see i love kneesocks and i don't see how one could waste their time knitting those dinky little socks. if they don't come to the knee then i don't wear them. These are the infamous $62-not even frickin cashmere socks. $ spent on socks and supplies

in case you haven't noticed, i'm very opinionated and also very WILD!!!! i hate using the yarn recommended, which is why i probably need to buy the book "knit it your way" by cynthia yanouk wise--and wise she is!!!

all this wildness stems from being a clothing designer. yep, that's my real live adult day job, so i'm pretty wild in thinking that i can design my own knitwear with whatever yarn i want to. I'm going to be referencing the vogue ultimate knitting book and keeping gauge issues in the forefront and knitting swatches for EVERYTHING.

and my last project for now will be:

the uber snobbish "cape mod" poncho in the stitch n bitch book by melissa lim. she's an AWESOME designer



o.k. oh my gosh gotta go, gotta get busy on all this stuffins.
