TAKING BACK [THE KNIT]

and this month is no exception. we're not even halfway through, and i already have some laughers.

lately i've been crafting like crazy, when i have the time (read: when i should be studying/doing homework.) i'm working on a pair of knucks for myself, which are coming along rather nicely. here they are:

i'm not 100% sure what they're going to say yet, but i have some great ideas bouncing around in my head. i really want to knit 5743054 pairs with funny things on them, to give as gifts. but better judgement prevails. this color was originally planned for a small sweater of some sort, but my hands have been cold! and there is no excuse for that sort of thing, as a knitter.

i went seed shopping the other day, and came home with quite a bounty.

i am most excited about the sweet peas, and the four o'clocks. i wish it was time to plant them all! i'm getting really sick of this winter and cold weather bullshit! i don't want to look out and see a yard full of plants that look like they are struggling to stay alive. i want blooms and butterflies and beauty! thankfully some of the plants have flowered throughout the winter, like my flowering maples, who are my favorite. Then in the place where I had the sunflowers last year, there are seedlings coming up! It's only February, which seems kind of early for them. I am really hoping they won't freeze. i'm also really hoping they are from both varieties of sunflower that were there. i liked them both a lot.
