so it's slow going...but that could be due to the fact that every other week i've had to deal with sinus problems and allergies. for the past week i've had a sinus infection made worse by the rain and humid weather. i'm feeling much better now, though, and have been a knitting fool since i don't have to stop every 3 seconds to blow my nose haha :D

my clapotis is nearing its completion. i have 3 repeats of the decrease and then the last section to go. i'm quite excited about it :D

i've also started on the kirsten dunst pithy hat (spiderman version) its funny....i'm using the almost EXACT same colorway as what was used to knit the original. and i didn't even mean to! i just loved the colors and thought they were very fall inspired :) i'm using koigu kppm (you may ask yourself....will she ever use that darn yarn for socks? not until i learn sock knitting, my friends.....) because its slightly stretchy and the gauge goes well with my insanely tiny skull.

and, well.....its koigu.



in other news:
i've recently taught a co-worker to knit and SHE IS OBSESSED! its so great! someone like me! we're taking a trip to yarns2ewe and possibly yarntopia (we have to see how we're doing on time...its hard to make plans with one's co-workers...they usually work when you don't :( ). we're also bringing along a hooking co-worker...maybe we can bring her over to the dark side (insert evil maniacal laugh here). but then again, i did ask her to teach me a bit of crochet since i bought the happy hooker but have yet to understand it. hooray for random dense-ness!

tomorrow will be a day in yarn history. wish me luck, friends :)
