I ought to add a few pictures to this post.

(Note to self: take pictures of your stuff when you get home and edit this blog to add them)

So. The woman who created the pattern for the Short Row Hat - holy crapola that must have been some challenge!! I cast on for it and I'm about 1/4 done and holy crap I am impressed. I would be very curious to find out how long it took her to come up with it and perfect it.

I had started on the caramel cable hat during the holidays and I'm about nearly done, but I ran out of yarn and cant make it to my local store until Saturday. So yesterday, I started the short row hat. I like it a lot so far, althought I dont know about the color I chose. I used a red skein I had on hand, but it would look MUCH better if knitted with some variagated yarn.

I'm going yarn shopping tomorrow, so I'll have a looksee at what I can get my hands on.

I am totally procrastinating on assembling my cabled coat. All the pieces have been done for over a month now and I am procrastinating blocking the front pieces and assembling it. I think I am terrified that it will be all wrong or wont fit me, which is why I've been putting it off.


At the yarn store, I have to buy the cream colored skein for my hat. I have to buy a skein of white and a small skein of black to make these awesome pants. I have a skein of red and blue merino, so I'll find something else to match so I can make these. I'll use a longies pattern I found, and will create the funky face. I should be able to make these even if I dont have that pattern.
