The almost great. So the other day after I posted, I was in dire need to start something new. Being poor like I am, all the yarn I have to Knit with are acrylic. Which is oook by me. Some were given as Christmas and birthday gifts from my boyfriend who happens to work at Michael's arts and crafts. yeah I got lucky. More than half is yarn I bought while lingering in the store while waiting for Derek to get off work.
Thus! giving me a pluther of yarn to make glorious things with and disregard my schoolwork. I really wanted to knit with this Homespun yarn so I started thinking. Derek bought me the green and I bought the red in hopes to make a scarf. I thought it would be so rad to mix these crazy colors into a sweater from my glam knits book by Stefanie Japel. I started this swatch and then realized the horribleness of the great horrible idea. I really could not see myself wearing those two colors together.
My alternative: just plain red. I started the trapeze jacket pattern and realized, being poor like I am, I only have one skein to work with..cause it was going to be a scarf remember. So I decided to make it into a cute little red shrug. Buttons? long sleeved? short sleeved? Still to be decided. I'm ready to bind off the bottom and start the sleeves. It has to be done by tonight. No exceptions.
