Oh, and Knitting Nature by Norah Gaughan because (despite not having tried any) I really am intrigued by her designs.

the postman just delivered the yarn I'm going to use to make this vest so I'm going to cast on for that sometime today.
I'm using the yarn in that pattern right now to make wrist warmers--my second knitting project after making 10 scarves for Christmas. The scarves were fairly easy and very relaxing, but I'm not sure I'm going to do anything on 4 needles again soon though. I doubt I will ever be able to attempt something like that vest.

Oh, I'm not using the yarn she uses. .. I'm using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in Mist - (it's gray). I think a gray vest will be very useful.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
it must be knitting day. I am using my yarn from Jars to make a neck wrap. The hat is already complete.

I looked at two apartments today. Both had fancy things like kitchens and bedrooms. I think I have decided I need to have the absolutely adorable little 1920s cottage that is going to be all fixed up by the end of the month and comes with its own garage. There's flowers everywhere outside, even in February, and a fountain, both of which I expect to entertain the kitties for good chunks of time. Pale blue tile in the kitchen, coved ceilings, and lots of little closets.
I WANT IT.
Plus they're going to repaint it a soft mossy green color, scrape the popcorn off the ceiling, put in new carpet, and replace the vanity in the bathroom. And there's the possibility of new linoleum in the kitchen.
ETA: An apartment this adorable makes me want to knit.

Alibelle- I want it too!
I knitted today as well, on the bus. I am (still) finish up a christmas present of socks. I am trying to start things for christmas now, actually, because my mad christmas knitting just about killed me!

Here is a picture of the outside that I randomly found on flickr when I was googling to see if I could find out more about the place: [link]
I never learned how to knit. I used to crochet when I was about 11, mostly because I had a pink metal crochet hook which was begging for use, but I never tried knitting.
