The best thing about being a woman...

...is the ability to change your mind whenever you want.

What I'm referring to is the fact that I keep changing the potential recipients of my knitted items. For example, I was knitting myself these cabled socks (pattern is Cabletini from WendyKnits):

But then I remembered that my grandma's birthday is this week. And she's coming to visit next weekend (which is Parent's Weekend), so I couldn't just get away with a phone call. And even though she's not exactly a "normal" grandmother, she has recently sent me some really sweet letters and is paying for my college experience (and bought me a mini-fridge when my roommate moved out...long story). So I decided that the homemade socks would go to her instead, granted I finish them in time. I have all next week to work on them, and hopefully I won't have too much more work (I'm supposed to be doing it now. Yes I know it is Friday, but I'm exhausted and I don't want to have to do it next week) to finish.

Here are some more pictures of sock-in-progress:






Also here are updated pictures of my i-cord gloves, the hats I'm making for innocent drinks (check out this for more information), the ribbed lace bolero, and my death eater scarf(which, in the spirit of mind changing, I have decided to give to my friend Sarah, not Sam):






I'm sorry the background of the pics are so messy, my desk is a mess and I take a lot of pics on the computer.

Anyway, waiting in the wings is Cherie Amour, Patti, and the Best Friend Cardigan. I still need to finish the socks first though!

It's kind of late now...

But I'll post anyway. I'm going to put a bunch of pics in this post because I have an FO (yay!) and a couple wips that are coming along nicely.

My jaywalkers are finished! One is bigger than the other, and they don't match at all, but they are beautiful and Seongbeen will love them!! More pics on my flickr account (the name is knitwitted)






Here are my wips of the moment: the I-cord gloves made from Nona's pattern (she's got the best patterns!) and the Vassar Entrelac scarf






Again, a few more on the flickr. Last but not least is the Death Eater Illusion Scarf I started today. Here's what it will look like when it's finished!



I'm excited because today I went to Michael's and got all sorts of yarn (Patons SWS! It was the first Michael's I had ever been in that carried it!) and stuff to print on t-shirts, so I'm feeling rather crafty. I better go now, as it is 1:15 a.m.

Much love,
