screwed up my mittens
Well I finished the main parts of my flip top mittens... except that the flaps are set to begin on the back of one hand and the palm of the other. I made them identical rather than a right and left. So last night I unraveled one and re-did it properly. I hate re-do's... but luckily these are quick to make.

swallowtail shawl
Slowly but it is getting done. Here is how it looked about a month ago. I'm working on p5tpg's... sheesh that is hard. I slip the 5 stitches off the size 5 needles and onto size 1's and purl them all together there. It's really slow but it makes it possible to purl them.

yummy merino
well I took a little christmas money I was given as a gift and bought some 100% merino:
got it from handpainted wool's ebay store. It's the same as malabrigo merino worsted except that I got 7 skeins for $40 :) Looking forward to getting it.
I've also finished a few scarves but no photos so I'll wait to talk about them. Life sure gets busy!

Jebus I'm 30!
so all of a sudden I woke up today and turned 30. Thankfully I have a good life and am mostly happy. I thought it's be strange to be 30, but it's really not. I figure I'll always feel a little like a small child and a little like an old lady. The years really do fly by though.
I figure that is a good resolution for my 30th year :) It's a hard one for me.
