so I finished my sister’s hat the day after I posted last. and I’ve decided I want it. good thing there’s plenty of yarn leftover to make one for myself. ;)

I bought one of those Nifty Knitter dealies - you know the rings so that you can do ‘cheater knitting’. because someone on another forum posted her legwarmer that she made on them, and well, they were cute. and my legwarmers are destined to never be finished otherwise (seemingly). anywho, so I played with it and made a tiny hat on the tiny ring. well, that hat was so lacy. grr. (and when pulled just right, it kind of took on a bell-like shape. dh said so too, without me commenting on it.) so I ripped that out - I might try again doubling the yarn (I thought I used worsted…). so yeah, I’m torn on them. I really don’t want to have to double yarn or buy the thick chunky yarns just to use on them. we’ll give it a bit of a longer trial run, I guess.

other than that, the knitting has kind of slowed a bit. I started a swatch for the AAY purchase (it’s Bouton d’Or of some sort), but haven’t gotten much further than that. that and I got sick last weekend (and have been all week).

I figure I’ll have plenty of knitting time next weekend - I have a dance competition and my dance school has hired a bus to take us down to it - so plenty of knitting time. now, to plan the bus knitting… (oh, and I should probably practice my dances too, hey?)
