Finally, some knitting content
The Surprise:
I have worked on the surprise for the last two nights, and have got a good amount done. (Still get scared when I see how much I have left though.) It's looking good - can't wait to be able to post a picture!
The Eros Scarf:
I've decided I'm going to (gulp) take apart what I have done so far, and redo it in a slip-stitch lacey pattern thing to make it a little more interesting looking.
The Dresser Scarf Socks:
These are the Cascade Fixation socks I was posting about a while back. They are made from side to side around the leg and then joined, and the foot is picked up from one end. Well, my gauge turned out to be about .5 sts off... and the leg part is wayyy to big. I am going to take it all apart (sigh) and try again sometime. But not too soon. I actually might use the yarn to make the Broadripple socks from Knitty.
Homespun:
My Mom and Dad recently bought me two skeins of Lion Brand Homespun yarn (blue). And suggestions on what I could use these two for? Let me know!
Yarn Dreams. Knitting and Life.

I love Mario
Ok, so after a few months of procrastination (and school) I set up the Nintendo Gamecube that my parents got me for Christmas again. I love Mario and all the Mario games soo much! Its soo addicting... I've mostly been playing Super Mario Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion. A lot. Steve's playing the Two Towers game from Lord of The Rings, and we're both playing NCAA football. Fun stuff. I do need to find more two player games though. Any suggestions?
You can probably guess how much knitting I have gotten done.
Also, I went swimming tonight in the pool in our apartment complex. It was a little chilly (go figure - it's been in the high 80's all last week) but still good. I want to get a kickboard and some goggles so I can get some good exercise instead of just splashing around.
I'm considering joing the Knitting Blogger's Reading Group. Anyone else gonna? They are reading the Life of Pi, which I've been interested in reading since a girl at work had it with her and told me how good it was.
For your patience with my posting laziness, here is a picture of the sock I have been working on:
I'm doing it toe up on two circs (both a first for me) out of Lane Cervinia Forever Jacquard. (I got it at Knitpicks, but they don't seem to have it anymore)
The pictures of my other recent projects are in my Dad's digital camera 4 hours away, and its a lot to email on his dial-up connection. So once I get home and get them on a zip disk, I'll post everything for the world to see.
