Does anyone have a running joke that is known by, and funny to, you alone? Or am I the only one?
Whenever I read anything about horoscopes, or am asked my sign, I think, Cancer... and my name is Larry. That's a line from an old song. I am not a Cancer, nor is my name Larry.
Anyway... I mentioned the red/orange Kersti that cut in line and jumped ahead of my other projects. Karma, baby: I frogged it. It was a v-neck, top-down thingy, and of course I didn't bother to try it on. I just knit like a crazy woman. I was about 2 inches from the end of the body when, just for laughs, I decided to try it on. It wasn't very funny: waaaay too big. Riiiiiiip. I should've realized when I was running out of yarn; a short-sleeved pullover doesn't need the same amount of yarn as a hooded cardigan. It is now frogged and reskeined and nicely put away until I can look at it again.
It is Kersti, after all. I can't stay mad at it for long.
I'm up to the armhole shaping on the Onde tank. It was going to be a 3/4 sleeve pullover, but I changed my mind. Tank. Okay, tunic. You know what? I really don't know what it's going to be; I'll be just as surprised as you when its off the needles. Whatever I'm making, the back's almost done.
It would actually be done, if it weren't for Klaralund. Yep, I was so enamored of the new pattern book my Secret Pal sent me, I dived into the Silk Garden hidden in the closet and went to town. I finished the back while watching Master and Commander. Did I like the movie? Eh. S'alright. I might've liked it better on the big screen. But, primo knitting movie.
I'm using the same shade of Silk Garden Em used for Tilt (color #88). I wasn't feeling so hot about the color at first, until I took it outside and saw it in daylight; much better. Once this is done, I want to start Williamsro. I spotted some cheap Cash Iroha on eBay, only I'm unsure about the color. Maybe I need to peek at it in person before ordering it online. A tad shady, but all's fair in love and yarn.
I'm wondering about a substitute for Cash Iroha. Blasphemy, I know... but I'm just wondering if there's anything out there remotely like it. Any ideas?
When I was a kid, there was a town near my town called Santa Maria. There was rivalry among grade and high school sports teams, so we'd sing, "Santa Maria, BAD idea...." Now at work, I have a female officer with the last name Santamaria. And every time I see or hear her name, it's followed (usually) silently with "BAD idea...." I can't turn it off. I would if I could, I swear.

*sigh* It's not a song, but my response, even if it's under my breath, to "Could be worse" is "Could be raining."
Ooh, Klaralund in #88 is going to be gorgeous. Would you bring the book with you on Friday? I'd love a peek. It will lead to financial disaster, I know, because I'll probably need to get me some Silk Garden. But you're right: all's fair in love and yarn.

Float, float on. :) I'd love to see some pics of your projects. They're growing, no shrinking. Show us!

Ooh! Yes, please bring the book Friday so we can drool all over it.

Think how done you'd be if you'd waited for Wendy's Klaralundalong! Hey, you'll be first in blogland with a Klaralund, though... Now I see how it works!

We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.

which are another example of what some people call the "lexicalist hypothesis", a view that has occasionally -- but erroneously -- been inferred from some previous writings of mine. Since my linguistic creativity is infinite, I can categorically state that there aren't templates of any sort.
