i think i just need to stop (in the name of yarn)

take a deep breath

and stop... buying... yarn. there i said it.

suuuuuuuure, after i get that elann yarn i wanted. ughhhh!

sob sob, i'm having a paris loop tragedy. (hee hee) i bought the yarn all the way from germany because it's DISCONTINUED! a month later it came and ugh! it looks like spider bodies! ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww! (got the jeans color) so i started making out of plassard versatile color 008 which looks like colinette point 5 but costs 1/2 as much and it's from gay paree. i got tricked into buying more and more because of the 54 yards crap. anywhoooooooo i got it almost finished and yuck bleck yuck yuck yuck it's awful! i look like the cookie monster. paris loop=football shoulders cuteness! it's a terrible color for a poncho (which i'm totally sick of by the way) and ooooooooooooohhhh i thought it'd be sooooooo cute on me. not! anyways. after all that time spent knitting (3 days worth) boooo hoooo

oh, and this is the kicker! since yarn "A" didn't work out (cicco "jeans") i ordered 4 black, 4 pink and 4 green from germany and they're on their way! blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh haaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaa 5 million dollars later, i'm going insane. i think this election has sent me to the nuthouse. i'm all over the place, starting a new project everyday. i have so much energy built up. i can't get no, bla dun dun, yarn satisfaction... when i'm driving in my car and i'm knitting at the stop-a-lights and a man comes on the radio and he's telling me more and more about some useless non yarn related information...

back to the drawing board. (insert the sound of ripping out freshly knit project)

just finished my rowan hat. i knit it at the library while reading a book. this was fun and i'll have to do it more often.

this hat was very fun and VERY fast to knit. it's all knit rows with some slips and purling the slips. there was also knitting through the back loop. those were all new to me but i feel more comfortable and got into a zone while knitting it. i knit this hat 3 times. first too loose (made it huge) second used smaller needles and came out too small. third time back to needles it called for but knit tighter. JUST RIIIIGHT...



i like the way the slips turn it into a crown. now i'm queen of my cotton candy knitting castle.

on to the next project...

how cool. i just walked into the yarn gallery and the owner was like "hey, aren't you that famous lady in the stitch n bitch nation book" and i was like "what?" and she was like "your picture is in stitch n bitch nation book along with a write up" she showed it to me. how cool i'm really in there. only cuz i'm really obsessed w/knitting. i think about it day and night.

now only to get published patterns. i'm working on it. :P

this is how i feel



this is what i'm making (hat)



out of this yarn (it's 1 of a kind handspun hand dyed from weavers guild party)

You are a Parisian.
