...except for bloody gauge swatching. I swear, there's nothing more irritating than having to pause before you leap into a new project. It doesn't ALWAYS bother me, I guess... but I'm dying to knit these gorgeous stirrup socks for my sister with a bird and leaves pattern on them, and since I don't want to follow the whole pattern (there's a weird wedge part up the side where the designer did the decreases down the calf, and I think it's kind of awkward looking) I've got to figure out exactly how many stitches I need for the pattern to repeat and... hm. My knitting ADD is kicking in, and now I'm thinking I should do a different pattern instead, hahaha. And if all else fails, and for some reason I can't get any of the patterns in my head to work out, there's always a simple striped rib pattern, which is after all what she fell in love with on my striped knee socks. But I feel like that's so BORING! and that she deserves better, because I'm certainly capable of doing more. Bah... I'll figure something out. But I've only got 5 days so... yeah. Better figure it out quick :-P
In non knitting related news, I had an EXCELLENT thai dinner with my darling blond soul sister last night, concluding in coconut ice cream (fucking yum!). Annnnd, I slept over the meatball's place again last night. My sweet Italian stallion... we lay there in the dark, spent and intertwined, and he whispered, "I'm so lucky to have found you." D'awww... I'd say I'm pretty damn lucky myself! <3
I s'pose I should get myself some goddamn coffee and get back to work... but... ahh, so sleepy! It'll be worth it though, to see the look on my sister's face when she pulls these babies out of the bag :-D
