so, i attempted to finish my stupid green fingerless gloves that were only supposed take one skein so i only ordered one skein of really wonderful yarn that seemed quite expensive for a pair of fingerless gloves. well guess who doesn't believe in knitting up happy little gage swatches? that's right. it's me. i don't do it. i believe i can achieve gage without them. (ahhhh why am i so arrogant?) well to make a short story long, i ran out of yarn with about an inch to go. and did i mention these were supposed to be gifted...oh two months ago??? so what did i do? shoved them down into my basket and hoped they would grow more yarn later. yes.
so i need a new one skein gift. so i started the purse from the one skein book. AND I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT SIZED NEEDLES! now for most people this isn't a problem. they get in the car and drive to the store and buy them. but god, they don't live in the middle of nowhere like i do. i have to drive 150 miles to get the stupid needles! oi my head hurts thinking about it. but luckily tomorrow i have to drive those 150 miles anyways so i'll pick the needles up then. but why do i have to go 150 miles tomorrow? well to see the rolling stones at washington grizzly stadium of course! so i'll be there tomorrow.
anywho, since i didn't have the right needles for just about any project i wanted to start i said screw it and i started my own design for the three baby hats i have to make. it's super boring so there won't be a picture yet. but i'm pretty stoked for it to be done. and that's all.
oh yeah, i'm starting to get a complex that no one reads my blog. depressing.
