No Pictures!

GAH!! My computer has broken. We believe the video card is the problem, but we cant buy a new one for another week or so. Im going mad! I cant do anything on my Mothers computer. This poor thing is old, slow and has none of my things on it *weeps uncontrolably* I may be able to get my camera to upload to this pc, but Im not sure. The cd drive wont read cd's and when we tried to install a new drive, the computer nearly fainted. If I can figure a way to upload with out a disk, yay! But if not... it shall be a little while before I can show you all my new loverlies :(

I bought my first bit of angora fiber and OMG its the softest thing Ive ever felt in my life. Its so soft I almost cant feel it! Its a beautiful pale pink. I wish I could afford enough to spin miles of it. (I can imagine myself in a sweater made from it...with certain movie star fondling it...heehee!)

Ive also been working on my red sweater. It began more than a year ago. Im very glad I got it out again to finish it, though its right on time for the spring. Wont get much wear out of it till fall. Its snuggly and though the arms are a bit too long its coming along fairly nice.

Also, I think I may knit myself a new pair of socks. Ive had this red yarn sitting in a drawer for ages waiting for the right patterns. I joined the yahho group Six Sock Knit Along and Aprils pattern isright up my alley. You see, Im a huuuuge Harry Potter fan and this sock is named the Horcrux Sock and had beautiful little lightning bolts on the sides. How could I NOT knit them??

Well, its almost 2:30am. I need to try and sleep. I think. My sweater is calling me...He wants his hood finished! He wants me to wear him and feel all cozy :) Yesss...knitting a bit sounds good....

EEEP!!! The cats outside just made the creepiest noise EVER!! Im outa here!!

Long Time No Knit

Gads, its been ages since I knit anything real. Ive knit a few little things, like a couple headbands, but thats it. A month ago I knit a hat, sort of thinking I would give it to my Dad. But it ended up way small. I followed the pattern to a T but its even too small for me! Still, its a nice hat.

I decided I needed some more inspiration. So, I asked in Spindlers if anyone knew of a good Knit Along. Well, they sure did! One in particular took my fancy - Red Sweater KAL - I have this red sweater that I started well over a year ago. It was to be my first sweater, ever. And after all this time, it will still be my first sweater! Its a very very simple pattern and also an incredibly BOOORING one. I think that with some people to chat with, whine to and show off my progress to, I might just be able to grind my way through it!

I miss knitting. Ive spun all this gorgeous yarn (if I do say so myself!) but Im afraid to knit with it. What if I knit something horrid? What if I dont have enough? What if while in the middle of knitting, I spill coffe all over it and stain the yarn that I spent so much time spinning? Gah! Ive lost my nerve!
