The Return
I have intentions for 2010. I will be looking into setting up my own web domain for a comprehensive and introspect knitting blog. Hopefully. Sadly, most posts may come from my iPod Touch which means my TyPo'd Touch (you have been warned). To start, here's a photo just to say hi.
The Brea Bag, started in May 2007 for my friend Leslie, who had a large part to play on my knitterly path. But as time wore on and the Brea remained in hibernation on my ravelry page, I began questioning the color. Did I really choose this color for Leslie? Then I remembered the day I received the yarn (Andean Silk from KnitPicks). It wad my first KnitPicks purchase and I wasstunned, flabbergasted and mildly horrified (can one really be only mildly horrified?) to find that the green I recieved was far more green than I anticipated.
Oops.
In the end, I completed the bag (side two at a larger gauge as my tension is a bit more relaxed now) and sen it off to my 13 or so year old cousin Carly. Here's hopin she lives it. The Brea was a fitting last project for the ought decade of 2000. A sign of closure since ittook two and a half years to complete and was given to a cousin in my dad's side if the family, who I hadn't seen in four or so years until I invited him for Christmas this year. It was awesome. And had he not been here, the Brea would surely have been languishing still.
(Lunks for ravelry and needle info to come when I'm at a real computer.)
