I just bought The Hobbit, The Silmarillion and The Chrysalids. I'm in the middle of many books right now. Wicked, Life of Pi, The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats, Possessing Genius, to name a few, I'm sure there's more. I seem to get distracted by new books a lot, or I lose the ones I'm reading, or something happens to make me forget about reading for a while and I forget that I'm already reading something the next time I want to read and I pick up something new.


I bought the latest Interweave, and Wrap Style, which I have been wanting for ages. I finally got a look a scarf style, it's just not all that impressive really, maybe one day when I have more money to throw around I'll get it, I think I need to look through it again. I looked through the new Lace Style, it's quite impressive, there's some really beautiful stuff in that one, I think I'll wait till I can get it cheaper though.

I made yarn, from scratch. It's pretty damn good if I do say so myself. I also made a Kate the Cat for the Loganator. As well as a Le'Slouch in teal/turquoise Cascade 220 that was originally meant for a One Skein Wonder, which reminds me, I also made a One Skein Wonder in purple Cascade 220. No pictures today, maybe another day.

I was given a swift as a birthday present from my mother. I just put my name on a waiting list and my mom offered to pay for it as a birthday present. By the way, I turned seventeen on January 14th. Woo.

Holy crap, was that a blog post? I think it was. Don't know where the hell that came from. Bye.

PS Have a kitty!

I'm still alive!I'm just busy... kinda sorta. Have a meme!

And I'm only seventeen... I've seen way more than 94 movies in my life, they're just not on the list. I love Tarantino and Hannibal movies, so my list will grow exponentially as soon as I can find them at the damn rental place. I watch movies a lot. Especially since I started knitting. Movies are good for knitting because you don't have to touch the remote for a long time. I watch movies when there's nothing else on TV.

Next post will feature something I made, something I bought and something that I was given. All knitting related too!
