Get Your Tube On

...or not. ;) I'm a little horrified that's the first thing that came to mind when I titled the post, but now I have to leave it. Just, you know, because I'm so horrified with myself.

I started Tubey the other night while doing a Veronica Mars marathon (holy crap, what an awesome show!) I think this is the mindless, yet interesting knitting that I needed. I love this yarn (Aurora 8) and I can't wait to get to the contrasting stripes on the sleeves. I'm only doing a couple little stripes in the brown. I think it'll be really cute. The blue isn't normally my color, but I'm loving it.

Yeay for new projects!

...pirate dress? what pirate dress? who needs to seam when there's knitting to be done?!

meh.

I've just not been in the mood to knit lately. Do you get in those moods? Normally I knit all the time, at the lunch table, on the train, while I'm watching tv... Lately, I've just wanted to eat and nap at lunch, I just want to listen to music on the train, while watching tv I just want to lay there and watch. My current projects aren't that appetizing. I think I'm doing to much knitting related stuff at work that I just don't have any interest in doing it other times. Add to that that I can't really devote anymore brain power to the knitting... I do math and design work all day, I can't go home and do that too. But, honestly, how many mindless, pattern-following projects have you *ever* seen me do? That's not really as fun for me as making up a pattern as I go.

You know what I need? Someone come to my house and go through my stash with me and help me figure out something to knit.

Maybe I should break out some Aurora 8 and make tubey...

meh.

Update

Socks that Rock Hard: I think I knitted the foot too far. I'll rip it up a little bit and then finish the toe. I should be done with that in a day or two.

Pirate Dress: It's been knitted for a while now, but I just can't bring myself to start sewing it up. I really want my dress, but the thought of sewing up all that fluffy stuff makes a little twitchy.

Dating: Yeah, that sucks. I hate it when you crush hard on someone only to realize they're just not that into you. Blegh. I don't think I'll be talking about my dating life on here any more. It's just a little depressing to see it all written out like this. How about this: You'll find out about a boy the next time I'm to a point where I'm knitting him socks. Yeah? Good? OK.
