this week...

mostly full of this sort of thing.
Photobucket

so done with this crap.

but i did get to finish my lovely malabrigo beret in record time (undeterred by the little gray stripey menace that chewed through the yarn.. not the malabrigo, dude!). and the biggest news of all.. i am done with job #2! i am now at single-job status. it's almost strange having extra time.. but that means knitting time! there is some mini-fairisle experimentation going on right now.

in other news, please click over to see this yarn-filled heart-shaped box at craftzine. and then make one for me.
