  • lost

    I took my wheel down to the store today, and left it there because I also picked up my new bike! Obviously I couldn’t handle getting both home on the subway, so the wheel stayed there.

    I took the wheel down for SnB, and had some lovely fun spinning down at the store. Got through another ply’s worth of merino (it’s pinky-red, and shall be a three ply) and a good amount of South African top. It’s pretty, but no photos – since obviously it’s still at the store!

    And then it started raining. A lot. Inside the store. Stay tuned to Steph, she’ll probably tell the story well. At any rate – we’re used to it leaking, quite a bit actually, but tonight was Bad. Whew. Luckily no yarn was harmed, although some of us came away gross with ceiling water. Ew.

    Anyway, since I don’t have my wheel at home and that’s what I usually do at night in front of the tv, I’m at a bit of a loss. I suppose I’ll have to knit? But what? Oh yeah, that supermerino sweater needs some attention…

    How about some new yarn?

    A bag of shetland to try out, and lonely orphaned skeins of Handmaiden 4ply cashmere and Sock Candy – they’d been sitting and staring at my so long, I just had to get them! You know how it is. I’m going to do some anklets with the Sock Candy (I’m thinking toe up from both ends of the ball the same time – wouldn’t want to run out of yarn) and some wristwarmers out of the cashmere. Mmmm, cashmere.

  • on edge

    Vacation is so close I can nearly taste it – too bad for the exam coming up on Monday! It’s going to take everything I’ve got to keep thinking about Darwin, Lyell and Cuvier. I’ve taken every term of school since I started university, including full summers, so I deserve a break!

    Meanwhile – the final piece of VBC is well on its way, and the patterning is absolutely lovely. I’m quite a bit farther now, so hopefully I’ll be able to get this done soon! I need to find some buttons for it, too.

  • what I’m taking to snb tonight

    Supermerino cardigan started long ago, finally all joined together. Should go quickly now because I’m losing 10 stitches per right side row – right?

    Still working on the paper, which is due in 3 hours (and school’s an hour away). Luckily I only have about 2 sentences to write – concluding sentences, the toughest kind! I shall be relieved once it is done.

    P.S. under the sweater is a “circle of friends” blanket that I’m putting together on commission (just the finishing work). Need to do that, too.
