Frog Is A Four Letter Word

There are books out there full of tips and tricks for knitters. There are handy gadgets and charts that fit in your purse. But really what every knitter needs is 24/7 live tech support in your lap.







I just wanted to show you guys how I knit. It's pretty much like this ALL the time. Bitch has to be all up in my face or at least touching me at all times. It's overwhelming but endearing at the same time.

I also wanted to document this scene since this will be the last time I knit in that living room! Pics of Dobby and me knitting at the new place next week!

Reason #5,978 why Chicago Public Library is awesome. When I walk into Eckhardt Park I'm greeted with phrases like, "Oh, here's our young lady who knits!" and "Did you knit that?" Today my favorite librarian, who to my knowledge doesn't knit, was looking for Folk Socks that I had on hold and she says, "I think the world would be so much better if more people knit instead of shot guns." I agree.

My most recent knit is self explanatory--the silk cowl. All the details are on Ravelry. I really like this pattern and yarn!



I have started some socks for myself and I'm almost done a baby sweater for my cousin's sprout. AND! I know I've already announced this once on the blog, but this time I really did find a cool apartment! (The other one fell through. Boo hiss.) I now have an entire ten days to pack everything! No sweat.

I've finished a few projects lately, but you can see all that on Ravelry. I started a baby sweater for my cousin's little girl due in April. Cotton. The sweater, not the baby.

AND! I found a sweet apartment. Didn't know I was looking for one, did ya? I know, things worked out and my needs were met. I need to stop being so negative and doubtful. So pics of that next month. Although I can't guarantee how many more toupee d cookies will be in store. Enjoy it while it lasts.
