I've decided I don't like moss...

Hello, all! Well, all however many of you actually read my blog, anyway. How's things with both of you? :)

I've made a fair amount of progress on the phildar moss stitch pullover I'm working on. The front and back pieces are complete, and I've done about half of the first sleeve. Even better, I had been thinking that I'd have to turn it into a short sleeve deal because my available yarn was in short supply... and then, aha(!) I found a missing piece of an unfinished (and never will be finished) garment in the same yarn, so I can make the 3/4 length sleeves as called for.

I've already determined, though, that my next project will NOT be in moss stitch. So annoying, that moss stitch, with the switching the yarn placement before every. single. stitch. I think I'll go with something in stockinette, knit in the round: still mind-numbing, but much faster results. Aw yeah.

Happy Sentence Day!

Today is one of the coolest days all year. Why? Because today, and today only, the date is its own complete sentence. Think about it. What's today's date? Say it out loud... that's right, "March fo(u)rth!"

Yes, I'm a big nerd. But if you're reading this, you probably knew that already. :)

Anticlimactic Snow Day

It's snowing like mad outside, and school's been closed down. I don't have classes on Fridays anyway, though, so I'm not really affected. I am, however, making soup in honor of the blizzard. And by "soup" I mean "chicken broth with onions, potatoes, and corn." Not overly ambitious, but it'll do.

I'm also curled up on the couch with my latest sweater in progress. It's a (translated) Phildar pattern - ooh la la! - for a 3/4 sleeve pullover in moss stitch. I tried to find a picture on the Phildar site or elsewhere, but no dice.

And obviously, my hands can't type and knit at the same time, so... back to the needles!
