Knit Glove

nobody@vox.com(Kelly Sue) — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 11:56:40 -0800

I knit this.

...In "I knit this," the "this" refers to the glove, not the sweater. The sweater is from anthropologie.

The glove was knit with Hello Yarn's hand-dyed sock yarn. The pattern was S.W.A.K. Knits' multi-gauge glove pattern.

Yarn, Yarn, Yarn

Wherein I nerd out on business only of interest to knitters:

I love, love, love the new Berroco booklet that was advertised in my e-mail this morning, Yin & Yang. Okay, well, I don't love the vests. The vests are hideous. But the Sanpoku cardigan? That cardigan is lovely and wearable. There's something... I don't know -- Eileen Fisher, maybe? -- about it. It also reminds of some of the more unusual pieces I've picked up at anthropologie. (I pooh-poohed Eileen Fisher for ages. I thought it was too "comfortable" to be chic on anyone but an elderly Japanese sculptor. I was wrong.)
My Jordana Paige satchel arrived! Just in time to go with me to Excelsior Springs for the weekend. I can't wait.
Speaking of the retreat, I learned the German twisted long tail cast on for my glove class and I have to say I love the edge it produces. It might be my new favorite cast on.

Eunny, Why Has Thou Forsaken Me?

No good comes from ~~cyber~~ ~~stalking~~ being a devoted fan.

At some point you cross a line and you start thinking you have a relationship with your ~~victim~~ hero. And when they pull the internet equivalent of not returning your calls -- not posting to their blog for more than a month -- you're hurt. You start to wonder what you did wrong.

Was it something I said, Eunny?

Christmas Wishes Come True

nobody@vox.com(Kelly Sue) — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 11:00:18 -0800

Laptop bag
Lil' Mynx removable dance pole
Alex + Chloe "Brunette" necklace -- which I promptly misplaced. I am inconsoleable.
6 French Dressing hidden scoopneck camisoles (black, white, nude, pink, green, brown)
PS2 SSX Snowboard game and Snowboard accessory thingie. I can now pretend I am my hero in the comfort of my own livingroom.
An anthropologie giftcard.
Some $$, which I will spend on voodoo magic bullshit sneakers (MBTs) from Bliss.
Two fantastic jackets and a skirt, all three of which I love, but all three are two big for me! Which, I suppose, is it's own gift, but kind of a bummer nonetheless.
A garden tool kit.
A coffee vacuum cannister.
A basket for cut flowers.
A shawl.
Some books from my wishlist.
A mini tripod thingie (yay!!)
A Rudolf nightlight of awesomeness.
...a bunch of other goodies; far more than I deserved.
