Thinking About:
The Urban Aran Cardigan
After seeing the cardigan modification made to the Paton's Urban Aran pattern by Brooklyn Tweed, I've been thinking that this might be the cardigan pattern I'm looking for. The pattern is in the Paton's Street Smart book (#500989) and I purchased one online from Pollywogs. I'm also thinking that this is going to be a Peace Fleece sweater.
Blue Sky Alpacas Skinny Cotton
I've been working on a pair of patterns - crocheted hats for warmer weather - and loving it. I wound up putting in another order at Kpixie, and then a couple of days later, another one. Soft, lovely colors, and no pilling!
Buttons
It's looking more likely that I'll be moving off-island next year*, so I'm taking a hard look at my belongings and making some decisions about what needs to get used up, what will be given away, and what will be sold. I have a tendency to save things 'for special' and this pear button was one of them. It's going on a sunhat which already has dibs on it.
The Detroit Cobras, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and Beth Ditto.
Once upon a time, friends and sig. others were the biggest source of new music for me. Lately, it's been NPR. Told you I wasn't kidding about the Future Grandmothers of America bit.
Skeletal Biology, Criminal Law, and finding an internship for this summer or fall.
One of these days, I'll be finished with school. This week I started thinking about mtDNA, ancestral markers, and groups of characteristics used in skeletal identification, though, so it could be a while.
*exactly where, when, etc.: I dunno yet. Got any suggestions?
That yarn would be perfect for that cardi! Go for it!
