I finally got over my Glowsticking 1 day freak out obsession. Now I am back to knitting. I have two active projects on needles.
The first one is a cardigan for myself that is taking forever but is beautiful. Its the Rambling Rose Cardigan from Interweave. Luckily I decided to knit in the round because I don't think I would ever finish it if I had accomplished the front and then had to start over for the back! Oye!
The owlie "No-No's" are coming to mind (see "Wesley The Owl" by Stacey O'Brien). Very serious, "No, No, No" head shaking.
My other project is for my future Enchanted Doll. I have no idea when I will be able to afford one but I am knitting stuff for it anyway. I have started with the smallest needles I could get from Hobby Lobby but will special order (or make) smaller ones in the future. Right now I am sticking to lace and will move up to cables later. I actually intend to sell my prototypes. Hooray 4 Etsy! I am having an easier time visualizing a knitting project when it is smaller.
Fennec still has a sweater brewing in my head. It already has a name - Dapper. How dorky am I? I have a few different versions but recently was inspired by the concept of armor. I don't want the actual sweater to look like battle gear but I think constructing the layout similar to armor will give it the detailed "togetherness" I have been struggling with. While Googling horse armor, I came across this gentleman's interesting website. Love it!There is no way either of my dogs would put up with any of this but my imagination is very satisfied. From there, I Grandpa Simpsoned my way over to this Fairy Festival. I'm totally going next year! Forget attending, I'm just gonna move there.
Which makes me think of a great idea for a housing community. Omg! I wish you could see what I see. But now I can't tell you. It was just that good of an idea. I actually typed an entire paragraph about how cool it was until I got to the end and realized that it actually was cool and not just me being myself. So, I deleted it...because I may copyright/patent the idea. :)
