Behold! A mighty scarf! I’m using Caron Simply Soft in Dark Country Blue and Heather Gray, 2 size 6 Silvalume circular knitting needles.

I love this project. Its easy, mindless and… quick. Most people on Ravelry seemed to really hate making these but I’m really enjoying it. I can see slow knitters getting impatient over it, though.

And we all need some brainless work sometimes, right?

But really… if I can find a good set of blue and bronze, I’ll make the book colors, too. And I’ll probably make a Gryffindor scarf after that for no other reason than those were my high school colors. Wouldn’t that be neato? Actually, maybe I’ll make it after this one. Yeah.

And man is it soft! Is feel sooo nice. And it looks awesome, except where my stripes are. Grr. But I’m very proud of it.

I haven’t been doing a whole lot of anything but writing and meandering about the room here. I started tackling my desk area just a bit ago. Sometimes cleaning is a nice, mindless thing too. I’m trying really really hard to throw out (or donate) as much as I can. Because less is more.

Hi all! I have all sorts of stuff to blog about, but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to do that :-p I don’t want one monstrous post but I don’t know if I want to do multiple in one day. *shrug*

So here’s a painting I started today. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it. I just had an overwhelming urge to slap something around. So far, acrylic (real gold, cheap stuffs), water colors (yellow, cheapo) and gel medium used. Yes, I have other paintings in this stage, but, you know:

AND, I’ve finally jumped on the Snuggles bandwagon. Cheap Red Heart, Red Heart Baby Soft and Softee Chunky used:

And last, and most painfully not least - My PoA movie color Ravenclaw HP scarf started at LAST! I decided to go ahead and cast on today. I bought the yarn the other day. Caron Simply soft in Heather Gray and Dark Country Blue on size 6 circs. SIZE 6! *screams* I need to go get 2 more things of the blue. It can wait though since they have no dye lot (my ass…):

Annd… I’ve really backed away from all my Y! artsy e-groups and I backed out of all those nifty challenges ages ago, though I’ll keep Art Buzz on my list because I like her challenges. Just because… I don’t know. I’m on no-mail on the one group I really like and can’t think of, because I just wasn’t reading the e-mails anymore :-/

Aaaand, I think I’ll take a break from knitting all those damn dishcloths :-p If I can just finish my damn techno ripple shawl, then I’ll have a 6 to do dishcloths with. So let that be a motivation to myself to finish the techno shawl, even though I’m not sure how big it’ll get on the 32″ I have… bah.

I haven’t been doing much of anything but playing my Pokemon Pearl lately and kinda staring at stuff. I have accomplished a little bit of writing and I got out of my writing rut. So that’s good. I haven’t felt like doing anything for a long while now, so I’ve been puttering away. Sometimes you really need to just NOT do anything, take a break, doesn’t matter how much you love doing what you normally do.

EXPERIMENT TIME!

I’m trying something different with my pics. Let me know how you like this idea.
