OLE GAUCHOS!

Tomorrow I'm heading down to good ol' Santa Barbara for a sorority sisters' wedding (for the new readers, I went to school at UCSB). I haven't been back since 2003 (which is a damn shame since it's only 250 miles away), and I think the last time I hung out with all these girls I woke up with my shoes still on (and not because I wanted them there).

Matt is getting dragged along. Oh what a trip this shall be.

Ninja Cat

In case it was keeping you awake at night, this what one ball of Gloss knits into for Thermal:



1 down, 7 to go! Also, more stuff I want to knit:


Nan, from Rowan's Big Just Got Bigger, and

Design 27-10 from Garnstudio Drops Designs.
I've got the Chunky Print for Nan but no pattern, and the pattern fot the latter and no yarn (ideas, anyone? The recommend yarn is Garnstudio Silkee Tweed & Alpaca. I'd like this to function like a fleece vest for cooler days. I'd also like to knit it by July 28th so no long waiting periods). This also puts me out somewhere into 2010 with my knitting queue over at Ravelry.com.

How about a picture of Viva to top off the randomity? You got it.


Ninja Cat - so fast, you'll never know she's there

Batter Up

I don't have much to talk about today that isn't wedding-related, and Thermal is still just a bunch of waffle stitch, so let's look at some more the 8,000 things I want to knit rightthisveryminute.

Norah Gaughan may have just made Berroco a shitload of money - her new collection is AMAZING.


What's even MORE trouble is that the yarn store that is 5 minutes from work and 5 seconds from the Bridal Shop where I am getting my dress carries all sorts of Berroco and I am sure they have this book. Must. Save. Money. For. House/Wedding!

KnitScene also did a pretty damn good job with this issue:


My life needs to slow down or my head is going to explode from the sheer number of things I want to knit.
