Braaaaaaaaaaains

This is Zombie Frank. He wants to live on your desk and eat all your co-workers fluffy stuffed animals at night.

All aboard.

I really wasn't trying to jump on the Chevron Scarf bandwagon. I added it on my to-knit list back in the fall when I first found LMKG at the library. I kept putting off starting it because, well, sometimes I try not to be a total knitting whore.

So let's take a quick account of said whorishness... I am currently working* on the follwing:

* Chevron Scarf - I really couldn't resist... One of the colorways has all three colors from this month's Project Spectrum!

* Hourglass Sweater - Still in a basket by my window. I could have it back on the needles and working again in about an hour, but I just keep putting it off. No idea why. I really want to knit it!

* Grey 11:11 Scarf - This could be finished in about an hour or two... but no, it's just curled up in a bag looking lonely.

* Ballband Hand Towel #2 - I actually have been working on this. I got about five repeats done last night while watching Battlestar Galactica.

* Red Side-To-Side Throw - This is one of those things I pick up when I need some mindless knitting. I worked on it a bit last week. I really don't have any sort of timeline with this baby. It's already been on the needles for a year.

* Log Cabin Throw - Um... Whoops... I don't think I've knit a stitch on this since January. I should probably work on it instead of the red one since this is a gift.

* Zombie Doll - Zombie Fred is half done. He's a torso and will remain so until I figure out how to do his lower half.

* All the hats - I tried last night! I really did! I cast on for the grey one and knit a few rounds, but I messed up and my ribbing got all wonky.

I think that's everything. Who knows... I'm sure there are a few projects stuck in a box, bag or basket. There always are...



*I use the word "working" in the loosest way here. Some of these things could be finished in a manner of hours, but instead I like to leave them in various baskets and bags throughout my apartment.

Hey! Ho!

Howdy. I'm around. I'm knitting. It's been a stressful week so I've just been picking up things at random and knitting a few rows here and there. I really need to get my Hourglass back on the needles, but that takes patience and I lack that right now.

On the bright side, random knitting has meant getting a lot of my long, long, long forgotten second Irish Hiking Scarf some lovin'. I got quite a few repeats done last night while watching Lost and some other crap. I'm hoping that maybe random knitting time means I'll finish it sometime before next fall. I'd like to use those needles for other things some day.

I've also been working on Zombie Fred. He has a lot of mad scientist hair and eyes and will have the last bit of his second arm today. He had a mouth, but it looked terrible so I ripped it out. It sort of made him look like a freakish clown. Very creepy, but not in a good way.

My last knitted item that's getting attention is the second hand towel. It's coming along nicely. I just pick up a project whenever I sit on the couch and knit away.

Skeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnsssssssss.

Zombie Fred is coming a long nicely. After some trail and error, I figured out the best way to make the dolls. I should be able to get most of the rest finished today. Woo!

Order

I ordered the yarn for my Hourglass sweater. It's a very lovely shade of teal/dark blue. I don't have a lot of things in that sort of color, so I thought it would be a nice change.

I also ordered a ball each of a pale heathered grey and a dark heathered green. I'm thinking of making a sort of Hogwarts scarf with it. In lovely Slytherin colors. :)

I'm trying to work out the rest of the zombie doll plan...

And trying to finish up the legwarmers. I have about 6" of the second one done...

But honestly, I'm in sort of a knitting funk. I have things to knit and I like all of them, but I'm a little bored... I think I've just been inside too long!!

Zombies

I'm knitting some zombies. Yes, zombies.



This is the first arm: before and after felting. I think it's going to be fun to knit all the bits and then figure out how to assemble them.
