Firsties!

So, this is my first blog post, and I managed to plan it so that I'll be leaving in a few days. *sigh* but right now, I'm swatching for the Anthropologie Inspired Capeplet, except I'm making it in cotton so it will be more summery. Summery? That doesn't look like a word....... I might just be crazy...... there's summary, but I don't know about summery.... wait, it is a word. I checked on dictionary.com which is one os my favorite sites because it makes me feel smart. lol but yeah, the capelet. I adore it, and so I searched on Ravelry to see if there was a cotton version, and happily enough there was! I'm making it out of a cone of white Peaches & Creme cotton. That and Sugar & Cream cotton are my two favorite cotton yarns. My favorite current yarn however is not cotton. it is a lovely alpacca worsted weight that makes me weep tears of joy. Well, not quite, but still. And the worst part is, I don't know the brand. It's the most beautiful yarn. Well, that and my amazing Twinkle Handknits super bulky pure wool that makes me swoon. I knit a delectable hat from the Twinkle Handknits and some delicious wristwarmers from my alpacca. It makes me really sad that I can't figure out what it is, but oh well. I still adore it and it makes me happy. And I had an amazing discovery about my wristwarmers. I was washing my hands and accidentally splashed some water on them, and the water just sat there! I then proceeded to dip them in and out of the water while wearing them and my hands didn't even get a little wet!!! This was very exciting for me, but I suppose it's pretty commonplace that yarns with haloes shed water, but it was exciting to see it in action. :D another thing that I enjoy is definitely making amigurumi. Right now I'm orking on two dolls, a ninja and a muse. I'm constructing them in entire opposites, but it's okay. We appreciate their diversity. Other crocheted items include a tree stump pin cushion, a cat, an elephant, and various and sundry UFO's. Yes, I would like to say I'm perfect and have no unfinished objects, but alas, then I would be lying my guts out. Well, I'm going to leave you all now and try to decide what projects to pack with me. Decisions, decisions.........
