Hot Summer Nights.... I mean Knits

So it's a warm May night. College kids are out for the summer. Most kids my age are out on a date or hanging with their friends at the theatre or In N Out.
I am sitting at home, taking pictures of yarn.
You gotta love my life.
Here are the results, anyway.

My Noro Silk Garden, Color #230 that was eleven frikin' forty-nine! I bought it because it was beautiful, but I felt incredibly indulgent about the price. I debated for a week whether or not to return it, but decided just to keep it eventually. I make a nice hat or scarf or something out of it. Because, you know, there is such a demand for such things in the middle of summer in Southern California.

This is my wool collection. It is all Lion Brand worsted weight. I made a number of hats out of it last summer that got hoisted onto my unfortunate family and friends. I don't really know what to do with it. I mean, it's wool. And again, Southern California. Doesn't really mix. I could make a scarf... I guess. Sheesh. But I really hate scarves. I do. Not wearing them, just knitting them. Takes a long time and it's quite repetitive.

First Post

I knit.
Rarely do I finish anything.
I am working on this.
In fact, this blog is hopefully a step in the process. Having my projects posted online will give me motivation to complete them. That's the theory anyway. We'll see how well that works in practice. As is it is, I have more yarn than I know what to do with, including some nicer yarn that I'm not quite sure I deserve. Any suggestions with what I should do with it would be appreciated. I'll post some details soon. Also, I would love to get connected with some more knitters, so don't be shy-- intorduce yourself! Leave comments!
