Hello everyone. I was knitting before, and suddenly had the urge to come on dA. And now I'm here! Yes, go ahead and BASK IN MY GLORY.



I am now knitting the hood of my sweater, and it's too early to tell how it's turning out. Also, since I am knitting it with acrylic yarn, I'm not sure what the quality will be like either. I've heard a lot of stories about acrylic yarn, and there are many acrylic-haters out there too, so I'm fearing for my dear CPH.



Despite that, after blocking the pieces, they've avtually become softer, and it actually feels alright against my skin too. I think I may be able to get some wear out of this garment, but again, it is made from acrylic yarn, so I don't know how long I'll be able to wear it. After I finish this CPH, I'm going to buy some yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills and make another CPH- but this time, I'm going try a different method where I'll use a three-needle bind-off to join the armhole seams with the sleeves, and the back shoulder seams with the front shoulder seams [It isn't easy to seam knitting when they have stitches facing different directions]. And I'll probably try needles a size smaller to that in the pattern to get a tighter fabric.



Making the CPH has been fun, and I'm looking foward to making another one for me, oh, and of course, to Marmie .

I'm getting stationery sorted out for uni next year, as well as planning what I should take with me to Burwood in January. At the moment, this is what I'm taking:
-Laptop
-A small selection of books [dictionary etc]
-Stationery
-Clothes [of course!!!]
-Printer [This is a maybe]
-Knitting
-External hard-drive [It's got all my music on it!]
-Extra special DVD collection [Maybe at the moment, but I can't bear to leave them behind]
-Legend of Camelot 2010 calendar [Did I tell you that I bought a calendar?]

Yes, that's about what I've listed. It's looks quite a bit, but not that much when you think about it; you have to remember that I'm moving out.



I've suddenly lost my motivation to write. Maybe it's this song I'm listening to.

:'(

Bye for now, but of course, not forever.
Sonia.
