in need of updates!

since i am still new to the blogging world, i have come to realize i am very lazy at this. hopefully the fall will motivate me to being a bit more dedicated on keeping this thing going. because in reality, i would love to have a full, yummy, funny awesome blog (just like everyone else in the world...) hah.

so, onto the knitting sphere of my life, which is a big one. i finished my mom's clapotis. again, beauuutiful. made of sea silk again...now if only i had the luxury of having a sea silk scarf for myself. but i am making yet another clapotis...can you tell i am obsessed? i love working with this pattern because the yarn, color and texture always changes the outcome so much and its fun to see where the yarn will bring the scarf in the end.

currently, i am making a clapotis (for myself!!) out of lorna's laces lion & lamb....mmmmm. in the color huron, which i think was secretly made just for me, greens and blues so lovely. i am only using 3 skeins and it seems to be more than adequate at the moment.

additionally, i have had the bad fortune of a semi-serious medical issue, leaving me out of work for about a week and a half. what does that mean? crazy knitting time, and stash busting my way through yarn! during that time. let me make a neat little list of things i started & finished:
-neckwarmer out of noro kuryeon
-a superrrr nice cowl out of handmaiden 4 ply cashmere
-"wicked" zephyr style sweater in lorna's shephard worsted (sooo nice)
-started clapotis #5 out of lorna's L&L
-worked on my endpaper mitts...coming along slowly

all in all, pretty pretty good. i must say though, after working on and off on the endpaper mitts, i am not very into color work. i know i know...some people love it, and i wish i did too, cause its beautiful and looks like fun, but i just cant get into the groove of it.

another note: I am done with my sock phase. so many people are sock obsessed, and i had a short lived phase of non stop sock making, but i think my new love in life is knitting sweaters. i just love the fact after all of that work, its a big wearable garment that will keep me warm, AND i can show off (and won't be covered up and lead a life in secret underneath my shoes)

so, my goal is to hopefully take a lot of pictures and edit them all soon. my job as well as my contract work doing flash development has been keeping me wayyyy busy, to the point the little time i have, i just want to zone out on a movie and do some knitting! but hopefully that will change soon!
