No, really, I am. I had an awesome time on the Seattle-to-Portland Yarn Crawl on Saturday (update with pictures coming soon I swear), and among my plunders is some eggplant colored Habu bamboo lace weight. It’s my first laceweight yarn ever, and I’m so excited to use it. I’ve been wanting to knit the Oriel Lace Blouse for a while, and now it seems like a possibility. I’ve also been throwing a couple other ideas around, like the Peacock Feathers Shawl. The Habu has been tumbling in my brain so much that last night, I had a dream that I had knit a bunch of lace-doily-dishcloth things and I was blocking all five of them.

Huh.

I should mention that on the train, I cast on Intolerable Cruelty in hot hot pink SWTC Bamboo. I got through a couple inches of it on the train trip, and as of last night, I have 7 inches knit. Watching a couple of the other knitters on the train made me realize I’m kinda fast.

Huh.

I think he warmed it up enough that it’s dry by now.

As an afterthought a couple days ago, I posted my pictures of the Pink Fuzzy Coat from Hell in Punk Knitters because I figured some of them would get a kick out of it. And some of them did.

However, OH NOES NOT EVERYBODY IN TEH WHOLE WORLD LOVES MY OBNOXIOUS TASTE!!!11

The only worthwhile comment is that first one. It’s hilarious how people ASSUME I am hating the process of knitting this. Dude, if I was HATING the process of something I do for fun, why the hell would I be doing it in the first place? And that first comment saying it will be hot? Um… it’s a coat?

People like this are part of the reason why I wear flip flops year round with my fungus showing.

I have constant bad dreams and nightmares. More often that not, I wake up with a pounding heart several times in the night.

The neutral/goodish dreams I’ve been having are turned bad upon waking up. These are YARN DREAMS. You know the kind of dream where you receive some object you’ve been lusting after, or win large quantities of money, only to wake up realizing that you never had it in the first place?

I’ve had two dreams in a week, where I woke up and suddenly had less yarn than I had thought.

Lovely wonderful yarn.

And it’s not mine.

I can’t wait for this class to be over (ONE MORE WEEK) and then I can knit all day, use up loads of yarn, and find excuses to buy more. Mmmmmmm yarn.
