It's Invading My Thoughts..
Have you ever been just sitting around.. minding your own business.. and then.. BANG! It hits you again..
..I.. have got.. to make.. the Travelling Cables Cardigan..
I've got it bad for this pattern.. I've been plotting.. and scheming.. and thinking of evil ways to make it happen..
I've even strongly concidered frogging Ribby2 in order to steal the yarn and make the TCC.. But when I crunched the numbers on that.. well... I'd need 13 balls of the yarn... but I only have 12.
What a bummer that is.
So I'm not going to get out of this without spending a significant amount of money.. Thankfully my grandparents are fairly dependable for giving out good Christmas cash.. So they might save me.
I need a good aran weight something that isn't wool... I'm fairly certian that I can't knit with wool.. Allthough dad and I are plotting about that too.. He wants wool socks.. and I want to knit him socks.. and I think I remember something about a lotion that works like liquid gloves or something and I thought that might protect my hands from the irritation I feel when I knit with wool.
The lotion wouldn't work for something for me.. unless they also make a bodywash.. lol.
At any rate.. There was this yarn on Ebay that is part Angora that I'm concidering.. it's aran weight and the color is teal looking.. I hope it's teal and not green.. but the seller never responded to my question about that.
I emailed my LYS about the pattern and they said they would order it next time they order from Karabella.. This way I don't have to pay shipping and I'm not tempted to knit it before I'm done with my Christmas knitting..
Anyway.. I just wanted to get all my plotting down and out of my head.. Maybe it'll stop keeping me awake at night or keeping me from doing my school work.. (HA!)
Progress on Melanie's scarf is going great.. I should be done with it very soon.. Then I start Aunt Karen's scarf.. Woo fun!

About Me

- Name:Kim
- Location:Houston, Texas, United States
I'm a tiny short woman who loves to knit clothes that actually fit me. I first learned to knit when I was about 10 but I never got beyond knit and purl. I didn't pick up knitting again till about 2 years ago, and now with the help of tons of library books, I'm chugging along and I think I'm pretty darn good : ) I'm married, and love my Australian husband dearly.
