So I have officially embarked on a knitting journey, I've started a sweater. (OK, so I actually started said sweater about 2 weeks ago) but I haven't actually blogged about it yet so here it is. I have succumbed to the LYS drug that is Noro Kureyon. I'm a black and color kind of girl to begin with, and when I saw this pattern I finally decided that I needed to make a sweater, and damn the time it took me. And it's actually gone pretty fast so far. I'm almost done with the sleves... I'm knitting them both at once so that I don't run into SSS (second sleve syndrome). I'm still a broke college student and was not thrilled at having to fork over $60 for the sleve yarn alone, but it was -Noro Kureyon-. Don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge paying what something is worth, but my wallet screams sometimes when I hit the yarn store. But I got my black from Knitpicks.com which made it a little bit easier, because the body of the sweater will have only cost me $13. Ok.. well I have a whole basketfull of half finished christmas projects that I should try to make a dent in. more to come later.
