ambition

So, I just started another knitting project (the last one, a nine-foot scarf, made an altogether satisfying birthday present for Josh - "Look! Now you will be warm forever!"), and having reached the monumental accomplishment of figuring out how to "cast on" (that's 'start the darn thing' for you non-knitters out there) without someone here to hold my hand, I've started roaming the internet for inspiration on what I should make this time.

Okay, so full disclosure - with no more than two types of stitch and one enormous scarf to my knitting name, I will probably not be attempting any of these Any Time Soon.
But wouldn't it be awesome if I could???

Pixie hat ... oh, Etsy, why do you torment me? 


Always wanted one of these.

So, it's a shawl-y, scarf-y, slightly cardigan-y thing...the point is, it's pretty.

No, I don't know what she's so shell-shocked about.

Man, I must be getting old. I used to think chunky knit socks were LAME.

You know those times when you'd rather be barefoot, but it's winter? Next best thing, right here.

Meanwhile, back in the real world...

Got a bit of a ways to go.

Happy Wednesday, friends! Thanks for reading.
