Its that time again...

Time to get waaaaayy overstimulated with possible knitting projects and I JUST CAN'T DO THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME WHYYYYY?? I know you were hoping for the Wheel of Morality, but as Mrs Kincaid would say TB (too bad).

Ahem. At right you see a swatch of Noro Iro number 57.

Beautiful Iro.
What to make with your spectrum?
I'm lost in wonder.

I highly recommend this yarn. And this swatch doesn't do justice to the purples, pinks, and burgundies (-ys?) which also come out whilst knitting with its lovliness. But, I'm still working on getting the right project with it. Well, basically I've settled on a capelet. And I'm working on getting the style right. It will probably just be something basic, to showcase the colors.

Other than that... I'm getting a second wind to finish the Kyoto. Lots and lots of stockinette, but it'll be ok. I'll appreciate it when its finished. After that, perhaps something more complicated like this that I have googled and now ogled. And also, must learn to cable. Will hopefully get to do this over cups of tea & chat with Elise.

Ah, knitting. Or making things, I should say. Brings such pleasure. I've really enjoyed getting into cooking lately, as well. Sam and I are often left to our own devices with his mother and father's frantic schedules, and I'm really getting into the intuitive nature of things. Especially concerning curry-type elements. i.e. spices including but not limited to ginger powder, garum masala, coriander, turmeric. And also coconut, mmmmmm. So much fun, and I love that Sam loves to cook, too. We have much kitchen fun.

In other news... this weekend included the purchase of Sam's and best man Chris's wedding suits and vests (waistcoats). Dark brown suits, gold waistcoats. A winning combination. Wait til you see them. We are going to look a fine wedding party, methinks. Especially with Dinah and Cammy as brideswomen.

In other other news, John & J-Do with the aid of the plumber seem to have sorted out the ol' roots in the drainpipe causing toilet to overflow every now and then issue. Apparently its roots in the drainpipe. At right are photos that John took of culprit roots in typical photojournalisic form.

P.S. My consolations to Elise for the bad turn in the career of her supermodel girlfriend. Wait a minute, supermodels *gasp* on drugs?? Get outta town.
