on pins and needles

1) new cheap wool blend for socks, and about 12 rows of first socks.
2) the growing poncho which will have some groovy green mustachio around the bottom when done.
3) the scarf i'm making for himself out of yarn unraveled from my first knitting project, started in 1988 and never finished.
4) dark brown debbie bliss yarn, which i've started the yarn harlot poncho with several times and had to start over just as many.
5) pele the cat.
6) himself.

it's a rainy day. good for spending most of it lounging and living through the aftermath of friday night.

my bucket of projects is slowly growing. the pic above is just the travel bag sub-section of the larger pile. oops, and i forgot to include felting projects in the above. aside from the knitting there are three felting projects going. a little dry felted flowery thing, sewing up sweaters that have been intentionally very felted in the washer and dryer into bags, and a big bag of alpaca wool from mardella's mom which hopefully will turn into a scarf over the weekend.

i had to stop at a new (to me) yarn shop yesterday. and suddently it was almost 3 hours later. i was good. i only got cheap yarn to try my first pair of socks with. i started this morning and had to un-knit after accidentally switching directions on the double points. oops. now i know how to un-knit reasonably well.

anyway. it's a nice cozy saturday. maybe it's time to make a fire in the fireplace.
