Tired Tuesday

Ok that doesn't sounds like the most exciting title for a blog post but I am really tired. I don't sleep well but I knew it was time to post another post here so here we go. (If this is a little weirder or boring more then usual I do apologize in advance).

I am working on the february hat, which is going very slowly. It is another Steven West pattern. Don't get me wrong I love the hat it's just doing double knitting on needles I'm not sure if I like yet and with fingering weight yarn and slip knit slip knit till my eyes fall out will drive and is driving me nuts. But I digress... I am using Frog Tree Pediboo and I love the yarn, so soft and warm and lovely. I need to finish this hat in the next 4 or so days so when I go to Stitches West it can be my yarn money holder, kind of a way of keeping myself in check when I am there. I'm not sure what I want to get there, but I know I see more Lisa Souza Yarn coming home with me, like it tends to do every year. I got another knitter to go "OOOOOOOO EVIL YOU ARE!" which is true.

I am an enabler. Pure and simple I am the dyeabolical, supreme enabler. Everyone who knows me knows this is true. So I am going to announce that Macek Designs is coming out of a hibernation and will be putting up the new new new website, since the first kinda got erased when my old laptop had to be whipped and I stupidly didn't back up the file. But I have a better one now and I will let you all know when it goes live. Be prepared for sock made on Robert (sock knitting machine from 1870) and sun dyed yarn. I know that sounds crazy but doing it that way will be better for me and everyone I live with and not to mention the environment. And the electricity bill that will help too.

Finally, guess what I am going to be knitting now that I said I would never knit again? That's right socks, socks. The things that I had a pair of my argyle hand dyed socks eaten, and vowed that it would never happen again. But now I am back, but I will not ignore Robert, he will be used in conjunction with hand knit socks. Kinda like having the production and the artsy ones. Best of both worlds. That's what I'm telling myself.

Things on my needles:
Rick from Cookie A's Sock Innovations
Skinny Skid from Stephen West's First Book
Crochet Scarf I'm replicating from a picture for my boss
