YAY KNITTING: THE REBIRTH
So my website got hacked and I decided to start YK over from scratch here because A) security! B) I won't forget to upgrade Wordpress! C) it's not like I had anything of particular interest there anyway. Thus, Posterous, because I like Posterous. It's neat.
I am on Winter Break and knitting like a madwoman. I have actually been knitting like a madwoman before because I decided to make my boyfriend a hat for Christmas, but I forgot to take pictures of it before I gave it to him. Maybe I'll take some of him wearing it. The pattern was the Armando Hat (Ravelry link) but with earflaps added on because it's cold in the midwest.
I knit presents for people a couple years ago but I just don't have the mental fortitude to do that most of the time, so I ended up buying people tea instead. The knitting I'm doing is for myself this time. :3 I found a bunch of Caron Country on sale at Michael's, so I bought like five skeins and decided to make myself a nice sweater. After some deliberation and yardage calculation, I found the Shawl Neck Cardigan from the Knit.1 pattern archive store and decided it was The One because I didn't have any other sweaters like it. (I was also considering the February Lady Sweater and one from the most recent VK, but I already have a swingy one-button cardigan, so I wanted to do something a bit different.)
And that is probably enough of me nattering about knitting for now.
