I have realized the number of projects I have laying around is ridiculous. I know there are at least 10. So here's my list. maybe that will fuel the need to finish them if I see how many there really are. And then I wont start any more until I'm through with them... right?

What? A new project? Absolutely not!

Ok, maybei did start something new. But don't tell any one. I don't wanna have to admit to how many I have going.
So... All those stitch markers I've made are about to come in reeeeal handy. I've started Clapotis. I couldn't help my self. Found the perfect yarn... GGH Safari. Its a smaller gauge than the yarn called for, but I like it that way. Wouldn't want to start listening to a pattern now, would I? I'm through the second increase repeat. So ive still got a lot left. But I really like it. Looooove the yarn. I highly recommend it. Especially since its got awesome yardage for being such a different yarn. 140m... So around 170 yards? Or something like that. And its in a similar color to the one on Knitty.com

It worked!

Allan's Noro beanie is just like i want it! I can hardly believe it. When i came home today, it still looked big... but when i put it on, it was just like it needed to be! YAY! I was totally ready to threaten it if it didnt. And then throw it into some hot water to make it behave. But i guess it got those psychic vibe warnings and got its self into shape.

I've got to start swatching for real. i kinda half ass it. bc i figure "washing cant make ::that:: much diffrence". WOW am i wrong. im afraid im gona have to rip out the noro beanie i did for Allan. :( ITs soooooo pretty. In a boy way... of course. So i got it done right? fit me perfect. well, fit me like allans hats fit me. which means too big. hits my eye brows and doesnt mess up my hair at all. lol, so it was gonna be great. and then i washed it. and it grew TWO inches folks. TWO god damn inches. i had no idea that would happen. so now im praying to the knitting gods to work theyir wool magic while it blocks. hoping it does that magical fits to the shape you put it in deal that ive heard about. sigh. its gonna be a bitch to unravel. but the scarf is lovely! ill post the pics of it that have been sitting in my camera for two days later tonight.
