I Want Pizza

I've finished one of the sleeves for the Ruffled Surplice, and the dye lot of my new yarn is drastically different. I really hope that I can just throw this sucker in the washing machine and it will fade to a nice uniform nastiness. If not, I guess I could dye the entire thing so that the color variation is less noticeable. I will cross that bridge when I get to it.

I also started the Camisa from last year's fall Knitscene. I really love basketweave. I've only ever done basketweave once before and it was for a washcloth for my cousin (I made her more than ONE, jeez, I'm not THAT cheap), and I'm really fond of the stitch. I don't know why. I also really love this TLC Cotton Plus, even though it splits like crazy. That's one thing I have to say about the Sugar 'n Cream: it never split on me. That and I got through the entire 14-oz skein with NO knots, which is more than can be said for Lion Brand Cotton-Ease. I have yet to hit any knots in the Cotton Plus, but I have only used half a skein per basketweave panel (which is all I've accomplished on the Camisa).

However, I think I should probably knit a sweater sweater, as I am always freezing to death in my classes (ironic, as it is in the upper 80s outside). Since I've got the Knitscene out, I will probably start the Central Park Hoodie, since I never really jumped on that bandwagon. But I refuse to let myself start another project until I've finished the Ruffled Surplice.

...I also bought some Softee Chunky for one of the Fitted Knits patterns. I haven't decided if I want to do the Textured Tunic or the Short-Sleeved Cardigan. I'm leaning towards the cardigan, though, since I don't have any of those (cardigans). I also don't have any buttons. This will be an adventure!

As for the subject line, I have been thinking about pizza all the time lately. At first I could not figure out why I was thinking and even dreaming about pizza (even more so than a Ninja Turtle), and then I realized it is because every example in my accounting textbook is for Papa John's. So in order to take a break from the pizza cravings, I decided to post about my knitting cravings.

For some reason I really don't like taking pictures. Eventually I'll start doing that again.

EVENTUALLY.
