CAZZO!

last night i was working on that scarf and my denise needle cord snapped apart. right at the place where the black connector joins the blue plastic cord. not having another size eleven circular needle i went to walmart today to see if i could pick something up for cheap. no dice.... plenty of 10.5's and 13's, but no 11's! what the hell?? i'd like to finish this before my mom gets here on wednesday so i don't have to mail this back to her but it's looking like that's not going to happen.

curses. this is the second time i've had a denise needle cord break on me. i'm thinking of maybe getting a new set of interchangeables... that knitpicks options set seems sorta pricey but pretty appealing. i think i might get their needle set with my christmas money.




currently i'm working on a heart sachet from the IK 2006 holiday gifts issue. the yarn is from one of the many balls of koigu i have kind of floating around and i think if i get my ass in line i'd be able to make a bunch of these as christmas ornaments.



working on something with size two bamboo needles is a lesson in gentility, i'm finding it to be less of an exciting knitting experience and more of a lets-not-break-the-ten-dollar-needles sort of game.
