Tasty

Weirdly enough, creating an M&M based on ME, has made me rather long for an M&M.

Is that some form of latent (delicious) cannabalism?

Me As M&M

I made it here. And I really do have pink Chucks and green gloves. Good times.

Tomorrow: My shameless path down the path to sock yarn whoredom. (I wasn’t quite there yet. Now, I feel I’ve arrived.) I just have to take a million pictures.

Knitting Goals 2008

Since I ditched the old webspace, I also ditched all the old posts on the old blog. I’ve been thinking about what I want to accomplish knitting-wise in 2008 and since I couldn’t remember what I was supposed to be doing this year, I thought I’d post an updated list as of March.

GOALS:

  1. Knit a pair of socks a month. So far, so good. They don’t have to match, or necessarily conform to my Sock Project.
  2. Knit a shawl. I found the shawl I want to make, and it is Laminaria:
    Laminaria Shawl
  3. Knit whatever the hell I want, when I want, for whomever I want (most likely myself), to hell with current projects, etc. It’s a hobby, after all.
  4. Knit a lacey and/or cable hat, like Koolhaas or Foliage.
  5. Knit a pair of wristwarmers and/or gloves. Lord knows I have enough sock yarn to tide me over till 2015.
  6. Maaaaaaybe knit a sweater, like the Simple Knitted Bodice. It turns out I am not really a sweater knitter, so if this goal isn’t met, no big. I might wander about Webs or something to see if I can find a nice colored bamboo yarn to substitute for the silk.

So, that is what I am going to do this year. I am also going to nap a lot, the end.

This, That, the Other Thing

I’ve been pretty busy the last week. I had a Board Meeting, I went into San Francisco to visit a coworker who had a heart attack, etc. But I finally managed to take a picture of the scarf I crocheted the week before last:

Crochet Scarf #3

It’s like the other ones – Noro Kureyon, single crochet into the front loop over about 150-200 stitches. I really like the colors on this one.

And I’ve been working on Spey Valley too:

Spey Valley Progress

Last weekend we went and saw Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day, which was cute, impeccably designed, if a smidge long. I also watched Stardust (absolutely wonderful), 28 Weeks Later (laaaame), and The Hogfather (not half bad, if long).

My latest Netflix was Fido, which is a silly zombie movie that takes place in an alternate 50’s-era reality. I liked it quite a lot! Don’t watch if you are offended by kid zombies. But if you’re a fan of zombie movies, it’s a must-see.

Knitpicks has new colors of their Felici yarn. Never mind that I haven’t used the Felici I already own… I fully ordered some of the new stuff. Heh.

I’m going to the Yarn Boutique today and later I’m meeting Malvina for dinner. Should be a good day!
