TAKING BACK [THE KNIT]

I have had the craziest weekend. I got 5-ish hours of sleep last night, 3 of them in the car, because I took a spur of the moment trip to Hollywood yesterday. My friends' bands played at the Knitting Factory and I decided to go with them. I have wanted to see a show at that venue since I first heard the name, and now I finally got to! They had big murals of balls of yarn on some of the walls and their logo features a little old lady knitting. In a rocking chair, of course. There is a room called the "AlterKnit Lounge". Oh knitting puns! I can't get enough of them, anywhere I go. I'm pretty much running on fumes at this point since I never slept for more than an hour at a time. The six hour drive killed me. I'm a tall girl, and being stuffed in the car for that long is just bad. But I had a good time. I just wish I could have spent today in bed instead of at school. Did I forget to mention that it's finals week?

I have been so busy lately, even without day trips to the opposite end of the state. Holiday knitting is getting on my nerves. My dad and grandpa want hats and a TON of people have asked me for scarves. I've done a fair bit of crocheting, too. I have yet to really take any pictures yet. I'd like to photo everything before I give it away. I need to get my shit in gear! I also have two pairs of mittens/gloves to knit by Christmas. UGH!

In order to help me out with all this knitting I am going to need to do in the future, especially scarves, I've asked my mom for a knitting machine! I figure that way I can churn out simple stuff pretty quickly, and maybe make some money that way. I don't like doing miles of stockinette, so why not let a machine do it for me?
