i've been such a devoted, little knitter. i've been diligently knitting Courtney. i'm finishing up the second sleeve now. i don't usually mind finishing. in fact, i often love it. but finishing with Kidsilk Crack can be a bit of a pain in the ass. i'm keeping my fingers crossed that i'll be able to breeze through it without too many problems. i'm really happy that i've been able to stay focused on this and ignore the call to cast on for Rosa. i am totally hot for this sweater! the main color will be Navy and i think that i'll be using Kidsilk Night in Oberon for the trim. it's been a while since i've felt this excited about a design!
i'm in desperate need of a hat, but frankly i'm shit at knitting hats. i have a big head and big hair and i can never get them to fit the way that i want. i'm tempted to knit Bounce, but i'll be really bummed if i don't look as goregous wearing mine as Scout does in hers!
tonight is a big tv night (and hence, a big knitting night) - The Amazing Race, True Blood, Brothers & Sisters, and Mad Men. i should be able to finish this sleeve and swatch for Rosa. i'll have to commence the finishing at a tv free moment.
Girl I feel u on the hat situation..u have to knit it way bigger to get that look...it's a crap shoot! lol
