any good excuse for a new knitting project...

I ordered KnitPicks Gloss in Dusk for Thermal (seeing as how I've linked to all of those before, I'm going to hold off this time...bad practice, maybe, but oops.), so while I wait (and since apparently claiming to have become relatively project monogamous seems to have jinxed the whole practice) I've been knitting on a few things:

I started out with the intention of the whole 'two socks at once' game, using double knitting, but it broke up my rhythm too much and I abandoned the attempt not long after the toes and divided them into two seperate socks in the middle of a Data Structures class (the professors all seem to be fairly indulgent of the whole knitting-in-class thing...I think they realize just how much more focused I am when I'm knitting...awkward.) Anyway, I'm working my way up the leg now.


I'm knitting a second jellyfish, but I sort of abandoned it in favor of other things...I think I knit three of the tentacles before I got bored, and while I do intend at some point to finish him, I really can't quite convince myself to do it now.

Especially because of what I'm doing right now.

I kicked my feet about it, a little, because the idea of working with acrylic made me really uncomfortable (I know, I know, call me elitist but I just prefer wool! It's soft and nice and natural and it smells good!)

I'm being the Cowardly Lion, from the Wizard of Oz, for Halloween, so...I'm knitting his mane! Hilarity abounds!
Hopefully I'll be done in time!
