Twit-tastic

I have a growing addiction to Twitter. It amuses me. I like typing out random thoughts and I like reading other people's random thoughts.

Saffista sent me some links via Twitter concerning my angst with reusable meshy grocery bags that are knit!! Yay! She linked me to two patterns on Ravelry and I'll be trying them out shortly. Both are free and the photos of both look great!

I'm currently holed up in the bedroom in front of the computer while Vince writes some papers. It's finals week and he has a ton of work to do, so I'm watching lots of TV and movies online. I've also read a few books and played endless on Ravelry and Twitter. My queue on Ravelry has grown to ten pages so I'm really, really looking forward to the queue organizing that's coming out. I need it.

Last night while I watched 27 Dresses and Enchanted, I knit a pair of mini cabled grey fingerless gloves. It was some crazy, almost sparkly variegated grey in my stash. I just pulled out the entire ball and started knitting from both ends until I got low on yarn. They turned out very nicely although the yarn is a little itchy. I'll try to remember to take some photos tomorrow. Oh! Speaking of photos, I have some on my camera I need to upload. Toodles!

Mmm, protein.

On my walk over to the gym this evening a bug flew straight down my throat. I coughed and spit a lot but the thing stayed in there. Yuck.

I've been trying to find a knit pattern for something like this with no luck. Apparently meshy bags are only to be crochet. I've hunted through stitch dictionaries trying to find a similar stitch and no luck. Ugh. So far I've tried 3 different ways and everything looked weird and awful. I'm giving up for the time being.

I finished Branching Out last night. I need to wash it and block it tomorrow (since I forgot today) and get it in the mail. It was a very lovely knit. Great pattern and easy to manage. It did get a bit boring after a while, but that happens with any scarf.
