WOO! I can't wait to watch it tonight with commentary. Wait ... why wait until tonight. I'm doing this RIGHT NOW.

Well, after I post this.

This is the Parallelograms Scarf (no, really?) from Knitting New Scarves. The whole thing, 70 inches worth, only took two days to knit. What a lovely and quick project. I checked the book out from my local library and may-or-may-not-have copied a few patterns out of it ... but I caved in and ordered a copy fro Knit Picks. I mean, they're having a 40% off sale. Why wouldn't I? I also picked up the Harmony Guides: Cables & Arans book. I have a few scarf design ideas. I really really want to start designing my own patterns.

Next up is a hat or two for a commission. The story goes like this. Ever since I finished my thesis, I've been at a loss of what to do at my computer lab job. I mean, before, I could write and research. But now I just sit there for seven hours. So. I started hard-core knitting while on the job (hence so many FOs lately). A woman saw me knitting, and asked if I'd knit for her. Pssh, why not? Easy money! And motivation to use up my stash of yarn. So my first project is the Twirly Top Toque from One-Skein Wonders.

Now I'm off to watch some tentacle-filled-sci-fi-cartoon-action-adventure goodness!
