The Winter that was slow to start is showing no signs of stopping. I am talking cold, ::brrrr:: cold!
What does that mean? I get an hour by my computer (tops!) before my frigid handsicles make it impossible for me to type. That is why 90% of my time (outside of classes) is spent within a 3 ft radius of my wood stove.
Those who know me know that I can't just SIT there with nothing to do. So I read a little, and write lessons, and then spend most of my time working on whatever knitting/crocheting project is available to me.
I just learned to crochet (thanks to some awesome Tavush ladies) and am working on improving my skills (since I only mastered the granny square) so I can make two very important ladies in my life blankets for their little spoiled ones-to-be.
In the knitting world, I am working on a simple scarf for a certain someone who wanted specific colors...and then I am moving on. To what? cables. Yes, cables. They intimidate me, but I will conquer them. First, in a scarf (check out ravelry.com) and then in a hat. Bring it. I am ready...
Sooooo here is the begging part! I am in desperate need of:
Knitting needles..I have 4,6, and 8...and the 4 is dpns, the other two normal. If anyone has any circular needles sitting around (I need smaller ones, for hats and mittens, since the only size found here is sweater big) or any other normal needles sitting around it would be GREAT if you could get them to my mom.
Also, a row counter, and those nifty little stoppers you put on dpns so your stitches don't fall off constantly would be pretty great too : )
As for crocheting. I have nothing. I am borrowing a hook from a friend. So ANYTHING that you have lying around and don't use anymore would be SUHWEET!
and, since I have already lost all of my shame; some peanut butter, fruit snacks/fruit cups, and some graham crackers would be amazing.
PS...I pinkie swear promise this is my very last desperate/begging blog, ever.
