all of this freezing cold/white stuff falling from the sky makes me want to a) hibernate and b) make nothing but lots of toasty warm things. i started a serious-ugly scarf yesterday, inspired by project runway and laura's usage of "serious ugly." i really do like ugly things. the scarf is this lacy, open number, but knit up with lamb's pride bulky wool in, get this, fuchsia, a bright orange-yellow, chocolate brown, and tan. yessss... we're talking serious-ugly awesomeness. after football today, i have successfully made it to the last color change, and it's going to be rad.
in finished object goodness, i have a few new things. first, i am so proud of this sweater. it's entirely wearable, cozy, and still fitted and cute. it's the boatneck bluebell sweater from fitted knits, made with cascade 220 heathers in bluish gray. i LURVE it. with a passion.
i have a prominent nose.
oh! and i got a new haircut yesterday, too. that's about all i managed to do yesterday outside of the house.
i also decided to fish out some yarn from my crazy stash of unused yarn to make a pair of what turned out to be kanoko short pants. i had dyed this yarn over a year ago in a class but never really knew what to do with such a small amount of crazy colored cotton yarn. then i realized baby pants were the perfect solution. look at how cute!
they really are THAT bright.
finally, i give you my self-portrait thursday shot from 1/15/09. starting to feel ill, cuddling with my cat, and trying to keep warm in my drafty, old apartment.

WOW! You are an incredible knitter. Everything you make turns out so well. I cannot wait to see the scarf.
I hope you're feeling better. Being sick is no fun :(
