ah, variegated yarn. i do not understand what people like about variegated yarn. i am knitting up a pair of wristwarmers in this variegated yarn, and finding that… it looks like puke.

today [...]

using regia silk. i did not like the way it felt at all; i do think this is something that should be knit in yarn without nylon. i would like to knit this in cascade 220, i think, for my dad.

i knitted this cardigan in under 15 hours. it’s not very long; it comes down to right underneath my boobs. it is perfect to wear with my strapless sundress.
i made matzo ball soup today, and potato salad, but nothing satisfied me until i ordered some pizza and crappy pizza delivery dessert.
whatever, i’m crabby tonight. i’m [...]

i am terrible at knitting lace. it only looks good if you squint and it gets kind of blurry.
i am knitting this art nouveau stole because jozelle wanted to see what it looks like when you slip a stitch, knit the next one, and pass the slipped stitch over the knit one. i guess [...]
