YAAAAAR... N, MATEY, YARN!
10 years ago
I like pirates, so sue me...
I buckled and bought a birthday for myself a month ahead of schedule. If you can't guess what it is already by the title, it's yarn. Someone's previous yarn stash, over 100 skeins! This is really exciting for me because my color palate just EXPLODED!!! I was trying so very hard to stay thrifty and only use the yarn I had for projects, but the same color over and over again gets boring... Also, I don't want to use my special eyelash yarn for first-time projects.
Now that acquiring materials is no longer a source of guilt, here's what's in the pipes for my loom knitting projects:
CURRENT PROJECT - A sock. Singular, not plural. The only reason I made one at all was so I could learn new techniques. I'm not in love with the project and I'm very tempted to finish it half-way through, but then it couldn't even function as a stocking...
NEAR FUTURE PROJECTS -
1. TARDIS wrist warmers & pattern
2. Super Derpy stuffed fox (I absolutely hate the pattern for this thing, but I've already knit the major parts, so I'm just going to finish it and probably stuff it full of catnip.)
3. IMPROVED stuffed fox & pattern (Building a better snuggle-trap, and hoping to learn how to make it fluffy)
4. Learn to cable knit on the loom, probably make a hat
FAR FUTURE PROJECTS -
Autumn is really only a couple of months away, which means I should plan my projects accordingly if I'm going to donate items this year. The loose goal would be to have things to donate at the end of September so they can be distributed before the cold weather. That means lots of scarves, hats, and wrist warmers. Alongside all that, I have a large cross-stitching piece (39 different colors, sweet jeebus!) and 2 sewing projects in the works. Let's see how things progress, shall we?
