Folks, I've got nothing. I mean, really, I haven't posted in two weeks and I really have nothing to say. Reasons, you ask? I have a couple of ideas:
Idea #1: Camnesia....I am terrible at remembering to take pictures. Sorry...
Idea #2: Two weeks ago, I got a nice, new MacBook Pro...my law school computer that was supposed to last me the next four years. I took it to the coffee shop (in an ok neighborhood) with me less than 16 hours later and had it stolen literally out of my hands by a thug who grabbed it and ran out of the coffee shop. That sounds so much like something out of a movie (perhaps a romantic comedy in which the hunky love interest chases after the offender and takles him, returning my property to me with a smile and an offer of a dinner date) that I am literally speechless on the matter (so were the guys at the Mac Store. They had tears in their eyes, as if someone had kidnapped their niece or nephew....my mom's co-worker was so upset that she wrote to Steve Jobs on my behalf....I have yet to hear from him BTW). It doesn't help that every time I go to type on my old, decrepit lap top that I get all weepy and nostalgic for my 16-hour-whirl-wind-romance.
Idea #3: Look at this BORING knitting I have to show you lately. Miles and miles of brown stockinette....and you can't even feel how squishy and nice the yarn is....boooo....
Idea #4: It was friggin' delicious* outside this weekend that I sat around telling myself that I better not start anything in-doorsy because I should be out enjoying the weather (never mind that I took the opportunity to watch season five of Grey's Anatomy and see a movie instead). Even my geraniums that I was SURE I killed last fall (and then failed to water at all this winter) decided the weather was nice enough to give it a go.
I'm not going to promise there will be more this week, but it is rainy today, so I'm gonna try.
*I'm not going to lie, I totally just spelled that word as "delishish" and couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why spell check didn't like it

When you finish that stockinette stitch shrug could you tell me how many yards it took? I found some great wool I would like to use but I have no idea how many yards to buy. Love your projects by the way!
ReplyDeleteThat Speckled Shrug you asked about (http://www.ambitiousknits.com/2011/07/never-ending-sweaterended.html) ended up taking a little less than two skeins of Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool (http://www.lionbrand.com/yarns/fisher.htm). It is pretty long on me, though, so you could probably get away with about 800 yards. Hope that helps!!
