dear blog
January 29, 2010
don’t hold it against me that i’ve abandoned you.
i haven’t really.
i’m just a slacker.
sorry.
there have been so many secret projects, outings, and general life stuff that, rather than attempt to catch you up with words, how about a picture post?
november
favorite yarn store in Michigan, woven art
rudest yarn store i’ve ever been to!
december
detroit getaway during finals
dinner at slows
the final recital show ever *tear* at the majestic cafe
started a dandy neckerchief (yarn is caper sock by string theory colorway, vert)
with the ‘rents ( i love them, they’re so cute right? )
started a top-down sweater in my fave michigan wool (yarn is shepherd’s wool by stonehedge fiber mill in white colorway)
made a swedish-inspired fair isle hat
that was too small unfortunately (yarn is cascade 220 in stratosphere and white colorways)
started some squirrel mittens (ravelry link – yarn is jameison spindrift in pine and burnt umber colorways)
january
finished my epiphany gift for carla-k, a peaks island hood by isolda teague. i will never make it again, it is a terribly written pattern (work in pat.? which pat?), but i conquered it none the less.
(note: there were actually three of us at the shop working on this at the same time. we all had trouble. but once completed, we ran up and down the aisles singing “peaks island HOOD!”)
now i’m back in classes with this bunch of crazies
and i made this birthday bear hat which should be arriving at its intended destination any minute! (pattern is turn a square by jared flood, yarn is cascade 200 heathers in the chocolate heather colorway and noro silk garden in 293 colorway)
this doesn’t come close to covering all the stuff that i’ve gone through this winter but some stuff is too personal for a blog and this entry is long enough right?
no worries bitches, i’m doing well.
xoxo!
