2007 FO's

here they are - the 7 items i finished this year. it doesn't look like much. especially after seeing tentenknits' knits of 07 - there were 8 sweaters! damn. well, at least i have something to work toward.

1. knitted ornaments, 2. knitted ornament, 3. shane's hat, 4. super-easy legwarmers, 5. here and there cables, 6. berroco knitting tote, 7. orangina

i think the ornaments were a hit with my sis and i'm pretty sure my brother-in-law likes his hat (i have seen him wear it more than once). i love my legwarmers but don't wear them as much as i should. i love the scarf i made for my sis and i think she does too - but i'm still not too sure about the color. the knitting tote may be one of my all-time favorite knits that i've made. and orangina - well, hopefully she'll be a FO for another year.

the boy and i went to this show on thursday. she is sooooooooo amazing and unbelievably hot. her voice isn't as nasally in real life either. she is so little and i had no idea she was 42 - looks nowhere near it. lots of jokes about tv shows that the boy and i didn't get and ofcourse the obligatory jabs at politicians. but everything else was great. i didn't want it to end.


i'm getting so antsy waiting for my Knit Picks yarn. i really want to start on my sis's scarf so she can wear it a little before it gets warm. and maybe it has something to do with the fact that Orangina is pretty much finished and waiting for me to have the energy and determination to seam her up. and ofcourse i'm only a tad worried that she won't fit or look right - her being my first sweater and all. and then what if i do finish her and the yarn isn't here, so what will i do then? hmm? have no project to work on? wha? ok, so i guess i could break out the stash and figure out what to do with all those half-skeins and recycled yarn. but that's just NO FUN. ok ok i'll get in gear but only because i really want to wear orangina next week.

ebay is great. i got an $88 pair of boots for $37 (ya, that's with shipping).

so here's my progress with Orangina so far. i have to say that putting the "front" back onto the needles from the scrap yarn was NO FUN. boo. next time i'll use another pair of needles. i've posted a question to livejournal about what to do with the tail of the "front" but i guess i'll go ahead and start the ribbing cuz i just can't believe how close i am to finishing my FIRST SWEATER.
