The Land of the KnitaSaur

And I’ve been up to a lot! Besides knitting (started about a million projects…) I’ve also done some weaving, dyeing, and t-shirt-destroying. Unfortunately, I’ve also been forgetting to bring my camera everywhere. So, no pics of ANY of that cool stuff!

I did get a package from Rav, though! And got a picture of that, isn’t it fascinating? I took that sticker and peeled it off veeerrrrryyyy carefully and added it to my laptop sticker collection. There are now two. Skydive Kauai and Rav. I need to get more stickers. I’m pretty stoked about this little package, though. I tried to order, but my address was too massive. I then played email tag with the lovely Mary-Heather for a while, figured out a solution…and forgot. When I finally made my order, it arrived here! Where it was supposed to, the place with the massive address! I’m so totally blown away by the awesome customer service there–I mean, they are 3 people and a dog and they manage to build the site, run it (including the MASSIVE forums and the drama that comes with that sometimes!) and have a store with awesome customer service! And they give that customer service to the lame-o small-order university students! But, I’m totally stoked over my stickers and pins (and the free sticker!) and the awesomeness of Rav in general.

Yay!

Ducks crossing sign. Isn’t it great? It’s on the main bus route that I take to go anywhere and it makes me grin every time I see it. I like how rushed the little baby ducks seem :D There is this awesome walkway going around a pond, and it’s full of ducks and all sorts of birds that aren’t scared of people.

I have done some knitting, yay! I made ANOTHER hat. Foliage again, this time with Nashua Handknits Creative Focus Chunky. Wool and Alpaca, VERY warm.

And we went to a waterpark. Apparently I’m both really weird and a wuss because I’ve jumped out of a plane, but refused to go down a 92-foot-drop slide.

1. Take info from typed page.
2. Write onto new page.
3. Grab a fabric square.
4. Tape in appropriate box.
5. Repeat 172 times.

I did finish another hat. I’m too busy rewriting information and taping fabric swatches to get photos of it or to blog decently. I’ll be back in a while. :D

I seem to be fond of slightly variegated grey yarns these days. However, I’m finding this one to be disappointing.

WAAAY too many ends on that ball. And, as I knit it, it falls apart! Well, it only has once, but still. With that many ends and it falling apart even when I’m working on not knitting tightly, I’m not pleased.

Sigh.
