NEW LYS

Wow, I got one of those i-cord doll/gadget thingers. I am going to make a million skinny bangles. It goes so fast and I love it (and I got the crappy cheap one.) I also didn't get the other one cus I thought the 5 or 6 prong was too big and loose, but I was wrong. I need to get one of those too. Right now I'm only making skinny bangles. I used it with super bulky weight and it made a sort of square strand. I used the sari silk in there. It's great. I keep making them a tad too long I think. It's hard to measure with the tool in the way. It's awesome though.

I've been lax with knitting lately. I've really come to that point where I need to make a sweater or something big and cozy to wear. I've been waiting forever to do it, waiting on finances. So I finally got the yarn to make my first sweater vest thingy yesterday. Not following pattern perfectly. Going to double strand, cus I found some cheaper stuff than the stuff recommended. it should make the stitch a little bigger since I'm freaked out about Twinkle's itsy sizes. It looked rather grey in the store, but when I got it home it was a little more powder blueish. I think it'll still work. Oh well. 

Now I just have to get the needles. I don't want crappy plastic ones, so I'm going to get some harmony ones. I'll have to wait a week or two, but they're worth the investment, I'd spend just about as much on an 1/8 of the product in stores.

Which brings me to Yorkshire Yarns. Cus she told me to go with the harmony on line, they're cheaper. What customer service. She could have tried to get me to buy her stuff,...but no. AND they have couches. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I want to go today. I'm nervous about going to the knitting meetup, I've never been to one. But we're going. Me and Margarita. That's all there is to it. We're going.

Alright, lots more to write about, like the needle case and the actual math i used from the swatch (YAY) but I have to get ready for work.
