All knit up

The wrap jacket is all knit up and is currently blocking (rather half-ass-edly, I might add) in the guest bedroom. I don't feel like taking a picture. I am hoping that it will finish doin' what it does by tomorrow morning so that I can go ahead and tackle the seaming. It will probably take me a while to seam...we'll see. I am not sure what to use to seam it. I don't have enough of the yarn I knit it in to seam with...but I wouldn't have used it if I had enough because it is a tape yarn. I have a feeling seaming with tape yarn isn't the best idea...and would probably be very annoying. I have some tannish, neutrally sock yarn that I probably won't ever make a real "PAIR" of socks out of and I am thinking that I will use that. I don't know...I'll decide tomorrow. I also need to decide what yarn to use for the trim...another thing that might take forever to get done.

I am knitting a sock...and I really like it. I already had to take the whole thing off of the needles and start over, but since then, all is well in Sockland. Even though it's late, I think I may knit a few more rounds tonight...although, knitting while tired may lead to a THIRD start on the sock. I'm a risk-taker, what can I say?

Nights

I just had a pretty fun night. It was very casual hang-out time in the city, at a cute little coffee shop called Blend. It was nice. Then I came home and found a package waiting for me. IT'S MY YARN!! That came very quickly. Now, I can get rolling again on the wrap jacket.

I didn't knit a single stitch today and I probably won't (since it's already 10:45 and we're supposed to try and get tickets for the Ninja Turtles movie tonight...how excited am I?? Pretty excited, actually). I work tomorrow afternoon...so maybe I'll knit before that...after I finish the dress.

Speaking of the dress...I think it will either a)fit me or b) be too big, not too small at all. We'll see. I have to finish the shoulders, seam up the back...then tackle that zipper. That's it...jet set...tomorrow I'm looking at a finished dress (as long as it fits and I don't have to rip and trim)!

No pictures, my lovelies...not enough time...and a bit of a headache.
