Knitting is one of those crafts I come to when the weather is cold, good for keeping my hands busy while watching TV, be it the Daily Show with my roommates, an episode of NOVA (last night I watched this fascinating program about the decoding of Mayan hieroglyphs) or the flavor-of-the-month in online lecture series (at the moment, Yale's Frontiers and Controversies in Astrophysics).
Here are the most recent fruits of my needles:
Yarn: Zara, a dk weight white merino that I got many many years ago from the Wooly Monmouth
Notable: My first completed sweater!
Remaining finish work: Needs fabric dye, or whitening--some of the skeins yellowed, which I only noticed after completion.
Yarn: Leftovers of Zara from the above sweater, plus a skein of Jojoland's Splatter Dash in color code 028 that I got at Mind's Eye Yarns
Notable: Learned magic loop and basic color work with this project. Also, I needed mittens!
