• Going on a girly lunch date w/ MNBF @ Article Pract. Want to bring her a present but I’ve got no merch laying around! Bah. #

• So, nobody knows what this thing is for, but we’re all joining anyway! Ha ha. http://twittgroups.com/group/ravelry #

• OMG Christina Stork from Article Pract is a big fan of my music and didn’t know I’m a knitter. HELLO MY NEW BEST FRIEND #

• Love is: Holding out his arms and bobbling for me while I ball up a skein of yarn. :-) #

Oh I really like them. So warm and squooshy, and an easy pattern too. (Wil took the photo for me.)

• Another day, another February Lady Sweater frogged. And I’m starting again, again. Grim determination or pointless masochism? Hard to say. #

• Alternate buttonhole-placement memory device: Women are right. Men are wrong (left). #

• How to remember which side the buttonholes go on: If the boyfriend is driving w/ gf as passenger, he should be able to look INTO her shirt. #

• I think I settled on a buttonhole technique that doesn’t look like total ass. Better write that shit down! Laminate it! #

• So pissed at buttonholes. Researched in every knitting book at home & Barnes & Noble. There is just no such thing as a good one, is there. #

• Fucking buttonholes. They should be called buttholes. Because I hate them, and they obviously hate me too. Meh #

• 2nd time frogging & restarting Feb. Lady Sweater. First it was a missed increase, now an unacceptably ugly buttonhole. Used a lifeline? No. #

Hey look what I made! My first actual garment that isn’t a scarf, hat or pair of socks. :-)

• NO you may not buy even more yarn just because you’re knitting larger things, & this yarn is the same dyelot as some yarn you already have!! #

• Got my 2nd and final (for now) crown. Stash of Tylenol 3s coming in handy. Reward for being good was… more yarn! For my Feb. Lady Sweater. #
