Another dropped stitch...
all in a days knit

So today, I inspired someone to knit.
Yes, read it again. I hope that statement does something for you knitters out there, something that says that you are proud to be a knitter, that you rejoice when someone else picks up a pair of needles and casts on their first square. That you know that we are carrying on a legacy of men and women who will continue to do something, not for the gratification, but for the enjoyment of it.
Today, I am amazed. I am sitting here, Thor's insanely complex scarf in my lap half finished, and I know that because I am a knitter, the world is a better place. I inspired someone to do something creative, making knots out of yarn that become a piece of fabric.
This, loveys, is the truth that we all seek. This, is heaven.

Ok so I have 8 days until Xmas, and Thor's scarf is yet to be done, since I had to frog back to the fucking beginning. My Mars scarf is yet to be done, and it is actually now Megans Mars scarf, because I need to do mine, along with Heathers, and kitty's hat, got a commission for another scarf from Evan who has *gasp* NEVER OWNED A SCARF IN HIS LIFE, and then a shitload of sewing commissions and a broken sewing machine. I need to SERIOUSLY find those progress bars so I can stop this update BS. AGH!
On another note, no one has EVER MADE an Echelon scarf and posted it on DA, or on a google acessible website. The fact that I might be making Echelon history boggles my mind, and I am in awe.
So I really want a pair of the Fetching handwarmers from Knitty Summer '06, but I bought the wrong size dpns, and I have no yarn that I like for them. My stash is all acrylic, and I am SICK of knitting with the crap that is Caron Simply Soft, and my hands are killing me from knitting and typing too much. Agh.
Oh well. That was my bitchy update. Anyone know of a catgirl intarsia pattern? Nah, I think I am going to have to make my own.

Ok, so last post, I said I was 50% done with my Mars armwarmers. Well not really, as I was waiting to cast off until I had decent light, and I just sorta.. kept knitting. SO- Now I am halfway through MY Mars scarf, about halfway through Thors Xmas scarf (God I hope the colour is right) and besides that, I have been sewing constatnly. And I know, "Anna you are NOT meant to be a sewer, you are MEANT TO BE A KNITTER!" But but but, I cant help but sew, seen as how I just quit my job of selling sewing machines.
Anyways, I am home sick this weekend, so I figured I would knit. Now does anyone have a digital camera I could borrow so I can take pictures? XDDD

Well. Two Charity hats are DONE, and my Mars armwarmers are 50% complete. And wow. I suck at Intarsia. Will post pictures when I am through blocking and seaming. I have about 3 hours of seaming left to do. Ugh. I need those little progress bars to show what I am currently working on so that I dont have to keep going through this everytime.. Will find more!

Ok.. so about a month ago, I posted about the random fandom knits that I am making. Well, so far, I have made a 30 Seconds to Mars hat (which I PROMISE I will get pictures of when I finish it off completly!) and a Gogol Bordello hat. I am also working on scarves, bags, and other fun stuff for other bands (see last post!) If you would like to commission or order something.. let me know!
