OMG

OMG its been sooooo long! Sorry!

The first week I was out of town since it was spring break and all. Then last week I just had a ton of schoolwork to do and kept trying to get someone to cosign for me so I can move this August, AND this weekend a good friend of mine passed away so I havent had any time to do anything that I wanted to do!

I *have* been buying a ton of yarn so I've decided to go on a yarn diet for the month of April.

There's two hanks of Manos del Uraguay (co.114) that I bought yesterday for My So Called Scarf
There's two hanks of Lorna's Laces in Ravenswood for socks of course.
6 hanks of tahki cotton classic for either a tank top for me or some sweater for my cousin.
Sockotta yarn.
The blue hank on the far right is one of 6 skeins of Lamb's Pride Superwash that I got on sale! I'm going to use it for a sweater.

I got everything but the Manos and the Lamb's Pride at a yarn store in Williamsburg, my hometown this Sat. And the other two I bought at a yarn store here in Richmond yesterday before going to work.

BUT since my mom loves the socks I made for her, and wants another pair I'm allowed to get yarn for that-her birthday is April 15th...although I doubt I'll have them finished by then. I'm such a slow knitter. Nor do I knit for long periods of time.

This was the beginning of a scarf that I started last night when I was suppossed to be studying for a test I had today. Its from the book Knit Scarves. As you can see I didnt start the selvage edges until after I've already knitted an inch...I thought well I'll just fix it somehow later. Then as I saw how the scarf was knitting up in those stripes I decided to frog this and use the yarn for a Multidirectional Scarf. Good thing I didnt buy the Noro Silk Garden yesterday that I was going to use for this very scarf.
(That's some Project Spectrum content as well for ya. Havent taken pictures of what I wanted to yet.) See how good I am at procrastinating? Here's another example:

Can you believe I'm still not done with those Wildfoote socks. I'm GOING to finish them by Thursday, if not Friday so i can enter them for the sock a month KAL.
