First, I need to get back on the dalek band wagon. I have a number still left to make people. And I have now committed to making J_ a Pittsburgh Steelers dalek. I was even able to get a small patch to put on it. You shall see, it will be cool.
I have also been commissioned to make a hat to match the wristwarmers I made for J_. Here is what the finished wristwarmers looked like.
I have also begun to knit the caridgan for myself. It is very smooth sailing so far and since I have to knit 16 inches in stockinette stitch, it is an easy, mindless project so far. It is when the pattern and sleeves hit, that is when the "fun" will begin.
I would also like to get started back on my entrelac afghan. It has been calling to me when I have been fluttering around my apartment cleaning. It says...KNIT ME
As most of you probably already know, I am going to be studying abroad in England this summer. I have heard of others searching out yarn stores on their travels. Well, I have found THE yarn store I must visit. It is called I Knit and it is in downtown London near Big Ben and Parliment. Not only does it have a large selection of yarns from across the UK, but it boasts "we are proud to be the only knitting shop in the UK with a licenced bar, so wind down with us and a glass of wine/beer/cider or just fizzy pop." OH YEAH a pint of cider AND yarn fondling in the same place...it might be too much for me...
So there you go...one full week of freedom before classes start again...

I'm so happy you'll be doing London. Better think of us when at 'I Knit.'
