I’ve decided that I’m going to move my knitting blog off LiveJournal at some point. I miss hosting my own! Also, my knitting and personal journals have almost completely different audiences (not that I have much of an audience here, but that’s not the point); not a lot of LJers reading me on their friends lists, so my knitting content probably won’t be missed there. I can always just create a syndicated account for the LJers who want to keep up with this journal, after all.
I’m not sure whether I want to figure out a way to display my personal entries (the public ones, that is) on my website along with my new knitting blog. I don’t know if that’ll be more interesting or more inane.
Anyway, so that’ll happen sometime in the near future.
As far as knitting progress goes, I finished the heel for my first Falling Leaves sock tonight! Very exciting. I’ll have this thing done in no time! No pictures yet, and anyway I’m not sure if Jess would mind, since it’s a pattern she wants to submit and if I recall correctly, she friends-locked all pictures of it on her LJ. But trust me, it’s turning out nicely so far. I wasn’t sure how much I’d like them beforehand, as I’m not the biggest fan of lacy socks and the variegated yarn versions obscure the pattern slightly. But now I can see myself wearing my solid green version (on the rare occasions that I actually wear socks, seeing as I can and do wear flip-flops to work).
My parents sent me my Knitpicks yarn yesterday so hopefully I’ll get it within the next couple of days. And then I’ll get started on that Mystery Stole at some point within the next week.
I started Clapotis with the yarn I’d dyed awhile back, but I don’t know if I’ll keep up with it. The yarn’s a teeny tiny bit felted, so I couldn’t wear it directly against my skin, but it’s so pretty in those colors! Though it’d be fine if I wear it with a turtleneck… Or maybe I’ll frog it and make a bag out of it instead. I don’t really know yet.
Sale at Two Sisters and Ewe this weekend. I’m supposed to resist purchases because of my upcoming move, but it’s not really that hard to move yarn, is it? ^_^* I’ll be good and make a list first, though, so that I don’t go completely overboard.
