I am making progress on my resolutions. I have ordered a set of KnitPicks Options and financed them by selling off some Addi needles I hated. I have bought roving (it's on its way) and will be borrowing a wheel (starting tomorrow) on which to practice my spinning. I'm really excited about dyeing the roving too, I'm going to experiment with koolaid and hope it works out to something crazy and pretty and not crazy and hideous.

And perhaps most importantly, I have returned to my Something Green sweater. I did enough today that it looks almost sweater shaped. I'm a bit worried that the sleeves are huge (I know I made a mistake, but I'm not about to go back and rip it out, it's hard enough to get me to work on this in the first place - stupid sweater fear) but I'm going to consult everyone at tomorrow's Stitch 'n Bitch and see what they think. I think a few decreases more than written into the pattern will get me back to me-sized sleeves.



I am failing miserably at keeping the couch clear (it currently houses two projects, patterns for said projects, a packet from school, my camera, my camera cord, two remotes, a packet of ginger chews and my yarn pirate club yarn).

I am also failing miserably at buying yarn without guilt. I've actually halted my yarn buying for the time being. My finances are freaking me out. I hate being a student. I just keep looking ahead to next year when I have a job and will have money and will be able to spend money on yarn and roving without feelings of guilt and panic. If I like spinning as much as I think I will I may make a wheel a present for myself after my first paycheck (or two, I don't think I'm going to get over my money issues that quickly). Luckily I've built up a nice little stash (practically non-existant in the eyes of many on Ravelry, but enough to keep me in socks for a while) so I won't need to buy yarn.
