advice needed!

knitters! i hope you are doing well and staying safe from this perilous weather of late. i HOPE to be in shape to attend knitting this tuesday, because i miss you all dreadfully. of course, i will see most of you at opening ceremonies for knitting olympics, rite? rite???

speaking of knitting olympics, i have decided on a project. i'm madly in love with the knit picks kettle dyed stroll, and have decided to turn my stash into a collection of garter-stitch shawls. this one just came out, i love it, it must be mine! this presents a few choices.

the yardage for the medium is about 400 yards. my skein of stroll is 462. no problem! except, i'd prefer to make the large. yardage needed: 500 yards? my choices are these:

a) knit the medium
b) knit the large at a smaller gauge
c) order two skeins of the same color and hope they arrive in time for opening ceremonies
d) knit the border in another color entirely ew no

my stash includes the eggplant and bordeaux; i am wondering if it would be nice in goldenrod which is why i'm considering placing another order anyway. decisions, decisions. what do you think?

hahahahahaha... no.

I can't make it tonight. I hope the rest of you can though!

i'll be there

Amber and Jen are out. But I've got a sweater to knit, dammit.

I've got the stuff, dudes.

I know we've been jonesing to get that fix, so I traded Jen some cheesecake for our KnitPicks order.

I'll have everything with me tonight -- see you there!

Just getting to word out...

Jen is done and doing fine!

Good news/Bad news

Bad: I must, without question, go to school tomorrow night to pickup my algebra book and then do homework. I cannot attend knitting. Even worse: I have Knit Picks with me and won't be able to drop it off.

Good: I had our Knit Picks order in FOUR DAYS OMG WHOA. And, I will be home ALL WEEK next week. So, if anybody wants to stop by and pick it up... I'll be here.

this is just getting silly

I thought the whole point of measuring temperature in Fahrenheit was so that you didn't need to deal with negative numbers. Eesh.

It's a good thing that we know how to knit stuff to keep us warm.

See you tonight!
