Obsession...

This is how I felt when I was working on Krish's Doctor Who scarf!

Socks for Supper

Sometimes you need a timeout from your knitting.

Take a minute, and enjoy:

Stalled?

Well, since I finished my Icarus I took on a few little projects: my sunshiney socks, the baby Sweet Pea hat, and the toys for the girls.

Now, I'm in a slump. I want to start on another big project, but I'm not ready for something big.

And I want to knit from my stash.

Every time I go into Ravelry to figure out what to knit next, I get sucked into something else. It's like all the problems of the internet times a million, because it's ALL KNITTING!!!!!

Hopefully the things I need to knit will help me figure out what I really want to knit. I really should be working on the armwarmers for Pemm, and a Secret Summer Project...

Oh, which brings to mind my current favourite joke:

"Where do generals keep their armies?"

"In their sleevies."

Bah dum bum, chhhh.

In Love...

Yes, I'm still in love with the dinosaur I knit for my baby cousin this Christmas. Finally got this photo uploaded, and love it!

March Break starts in 7.5 hours! WOOOOOOOOT!

Knitting In Costume

Here's some multitasking for you:

Knitting backstage, while playing scrabble (poorly), waiting to go onstage, and wearing fake eyelashes.

This was taken in the Green Room of my last show -- I managed to get a number of girls bringing their knitting. We would all sit around knitting/crocheting/scrabbling while between scenes.

And yes, the fake eyelashes get in the way of everything. But aren't they fun? (You can click on the photo to make it big, and see them closeup!)

Random Thursday...

Everyone else in blogland is doing it, so I present to you Random Thursday.

More specifically, this post is going to be random-Austrian-photo Thursday.

1) A peacock butt. Kind of makes me want to knit Peacock Feathers


I have determined that peacocks are evil creatures. They live outside lovely Austrian castles, and make hideously loud noises to scare away the tourists.




2) The insides of a Stachelbeeren (Gooseberry). Man, is that tasty stuff. I love the purple layer around the seeds. Yep, it makes me want to dye yarn in this colourway... yarn like Koigu. Mmmm, Gooseberry Koigu!





3) A typical Austrian folk-costume: (I've actually seen ladies in the street wearing similar garb)
