Incubus Dig

“A dress, really?”
Is that what you just said? Well yes, a dress. THIS DRESS!
It is freaking amazing and I have enough yarn to actually knit it….and the yarn is in Idaho with me!! That alone is a Christmas miracle.

This is the yarn I am using. I started that cabled jacket in September of 2008. I don’t think it’s getting finished and the yarn would be so happy as a dress…don’t you think??
I am finishing up a Lanesplitter skirt in solid oxford gray at the moment. Then I am casting on! I don’t plan to have the dress finished in record time but I am dying to wear it soon so I may just speed through it, we’ll see.
 
 

My big sister surprised me with amazing hand dyed yarn for my birthday.
I love it Cori! Thank you for being so amazing!

… what I wouldn’t give for a new tattoo for my birthday.
That is all.

It’s been a while since I have purchased anything for myself. I am ridiculously excited about getting new boots for the nasty winter here.
Love them!
Time to knit some new boots socks 😉

I have found that in our modern world of handheld instant gratification there is an obvious lack of direct and honest communication. Everything is subject to interpretation in text messages, emails, chatting, etc.
Why the fuck can’t we pick up our damn phones, yes believe it or not they are actually cellular phones people, and call to have meaningful conversations?
I am just as guilty of this as those around me but come on, when I have important things to say I call. I don’t text randomly and hope the recipient can figure out if that lol is truly laughing or my dry, sarcastic sense of humor. And smileys are no better. A wink, a smile, a halo, it’s all the same and I am guessing half of the time whether or not to take what was just said seriously or smile and shrug it off.
It’s just driving me fucking crazy right now.
Back to knitting.
😉

I have promised my sister Christi a pair of socks for a long time and I am finally getting them made for her. She is also getting something else but will leave that for another time. Kind of a surprise.
