This Indigo Ripples skirt...augh. It's almost not worth doing the 1000-odd bind-off stitches when I know it'll probably turn out saggy and gross on my giant bottom. But then again, I thought my Two-Tone shrug would be awful and it really wasn't...so I honestly don't know. I'm sort of itching to turn this yarn into a Camisa from the fall 2006 Knitscene, but I can always buy more Cotton-Ease in a less fugly color to make something I'll actually wear.
Not that the charcoal color is fugly, it's just not a color I would wear as a shirt. Plus, it doesn't really match any pants I have, except jeans, I suppose.
I wish Cotton-Ease had more colors! I really like how the yarn feels, but I only really like the purple color (and the orange and yellow colors, but I tend to not wear orange and "Chinese people can't wear yellow," or whatever the line is from "Saving Face." I guess that goes for orange too? Except that Chinese people wear the hell out of red, which is the other half of orange. And away I go into parentheses-land).
I've noticed that I post nothing about whistles. Um...I've got a Dixon trad in brass, and the fingerholes are totally all discolored because I play it all the time. I forgot I had it for a while, due to the Freeman Nickel Generation taking up most of my time (I have no idea why I like it so much; you wouldn't know because I'm always dropping it). I composed a waltz yesterday because I am a total dork. I think it's pretty! One day I'll be a whistling, knitting superstar and you'll all WISH you'd read my blog when it was all written in parentheses by me, instead of blurbs written by my assistant's assistant. Yup. Just like my myspace page.
