Knitting, Knitting, Knitting

Once you start, you can't stop... :(

Wishlist:

- Star Crossed Slouchy Beret in Berroco Ultra Alpaca (Blueberry Mix)
- Spring Beret in Plymouth Covington (Black Plum)
- One Row Lace Scarf in Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend (Bluejay)
- Flat-knit Convertible Mittens/Fingerless Gloves in ???

I'm pretty confident now in my ability to adapt (simple) beret patterns for straight needles, because I don't own DPNs/circulars, and I think circulars would be a bit of a hassle, anyway. Technically, I don't need another scarf, but I really...can't...resist...buying one skein of Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend. And I've always wanted to try my hand at knitting mittens/fingerless gloves, despite the fact that I don't need them at all...

(For a while, I was tempted to try a Shizuku and modified Saroyan, but, dammit, self, I don't need any more scarfs! :/)


Edit: Also, may I say, Malabrigo has some of loveliest names for their colors.

Zarzamora = purple/green = blackberry bush
Candombe = dark purple/blue with strains of lighter colors = an African dance
Indiecita = blue/green with hints of purple and yellow = Indian girl
Cumparsita = red/purple = an iconic tango song
Hiroshige = blue/yellow = the name of an ukiyo-e [woodblock print] artist

To-Do for the Near Future

- Tomorrow: Study Genome Bio and take the closed-book take-home quiz (that I'm somewhat freaking out about).

- Tomorrow afternoon: Go to knitting club, try to finish scarf for sister.

- Weekend (in general): Finish homework.

- Monday afternoon: If homework finished, take bus to yarn store, buy yarn for beret(s). (Also need to buy a poster for Genome Bio poster project.)

- Monday evening: Watch latest episode of Once Upon a Time. (Looking forward to their spin on Beauty and the Beast...and more Rumpelstiltskin, of course.)


- Next next next week: Buy more yarn after receiving paycheck(s) (and finishing Ecology exam and English paper).

- (Sometime in between all this) Get back to working on EK second draft OTL
