TAKING BACK [THE KNIT]

to be sitting with a heat pack on one's lower abdomen in 90°+ heat. But sometimes it happens. I guess it is better than the alternative, as any parent could tell you.

ANYWAY, since I've been out of school all I have done is knit, watch tv, and party. Things are either incredibly hectic and busy or I don't even get dressed for days on end. I've got a number of projects going: SitCom Chic in a wool/cotton blend, a bag/purse thing I am making up as I go along in Patons Classic Merino, and my mom's afghan is STILL not finished. I believe I am still on the same square I was the last time I posted.

I went to Michael's yesterday and bought some stuffing for a future Nautie or two. I'm excited about that; I have never knit a stuffed animal before. However, I'm not letting myself start it until I finish something else. Preferably the afghan.

I bought two balls of Lion Cotton, the Lion Brand equivalent of Sugar and Cream, in this summery and cute turquiose color and I have NO idea what to do with it. It's so heavy! I've thought about a Lelah skirt, but I don't want to sew in a lining and all that. I am dying to knit something for summer, but I'm at a loss as to what. I pretty much dress for fall all year 'round, so that also leads to other issues like whether I will have anything to wear with something turquoise and knitted and whether I would actually wear it.

I should update that to-do list and compare it to what I have actually done. You guys will definitely find it hilarious!
