They popped out of the snow....

Like daisies!

What I mean is that the moths have multiplied. And they're starting to scare me. I'm fine with moths outside, but in my home by my stash....cold sweat time.

Man, I'm addicted to yarn....

Panic! at the house...

KYAAAAAAAK!

I found a moth fluttering around upstairs, by my stash. @_@
I looked at pictures and it doesn't seem to be a clothes moth, but still. I'm a bit freaked out.

I miss people already. My best friend went off to college and left this yarn that we bought together at my house. I guess I'm going to make something for her, but I don't know what she wants. It was pretty funny when she called me when she got to her grandfather's house because she didn't remember where I had packed her summer reading. Hehe.

Long Time No See...

It's been a while. Since my friend got a blog for her college life (basically so she can keep in touch with us...), I've decided to come back to blogger, at least for a while. Hmm.

So the knitting's been a bit sketchy. I mean, I finished an Odessa in all of 24 hours, minus sleeping time, and then I've been stuck on these socks for like forever. That would probably be because I ran out of yarn--OMG I now know exactly why everyone's like "buy enough! Make sure you buy enough!" I am NOT frogging and rationing the yarn. No sirree. Unfortunately for me, the yarn's discontinued. Fuck. >_< I guess I'm going to keep looking until I find it or something.......or ebay. haha.

Anyway, I also have not finished the scarf or anything like that.

I have spun up quite a bit of the alpaca I bought from NJ Sheep and Wool, and I plied it. 2-ply, because it's a bit thick for three-ply (now it's about regular worsted-thickness), and because I don't have the patience to spin up another batch. I'm now predrafting the rest, because it's actually a really nice fiber to spin...took a bit of practice at first, but the staple's like the perfect length and it's strong enough to be thinner than I'm necessarily comfortable with. And it's a beautiful color...a deep charcoal grey with lighter flecks. So soft, too. Not itchy, like regular wool.

Anyway, I am so bringing my fibery things with me to college. I packed most of my stash in these clear plastic bins with labels, and so it's easier to carry. Still quite heavy though. I figure the things I'm going to have most of in my room are going to be books and fiber. =_=;;
