Killer Peach

SQUEEEEEEE!!!

I was unbelievably excited to receive the email letting me know she had been re-released. And it seems that she's not a limited release this time either or at least there's nothing to indicate a limited release.

Pattern ordered: check

Yarn ordered: check  (black or navy or I have white but continue to fantasize about white's sister, bordeaux

Tape ordered: check

Update: Needles (circs and dpns) ordered: check

• Does anyone have experience with HiyaHiya needles? I remember hearing good things about them...I think. The joins need to be Addi quality. I will be greatly amused if my packages from England arrive before my US package.

I think I have the needles. Um. Probably. 000 and 0 (1.5 and 2.0mm) Addi Turbo for swatching because sadly, Knitpicks doesn't make needles in this range. {Does Addi seriously not make a 1.75mm needle??? What's up with that? They have double points but I'm not finding circs. Egads!} I will need double points in the appropriate size when I get to the border but that won't be for quite a long time. Swatching will be in order when yarn arrives; I'll probably use Wedding Ring Shawl to figure out needle size/yarn combo.

I know the black or navy might cause blindness and I'm willing to accept that for the sake of my art. Or perhaps I won't be and I'll knit in another color.

Also, Typepad is being flaky about sending me comment email so I apologize for not responding if I don't get your email. Though, I'll admit to being sadly lax about comment replying.

i'm cold!

I'm wearing Nattroje today and I'm sitting at work cold! This should not be happening people!

My guess is that it's because I have my hair pulled back and my neck is exposed, a chilled neck makes for a chilled me. Doh! for not having a scarf.

I think the last time I wore this sweater was at Rhinebeck last year. It's been great fun to read about everyone's trip this year, even though there's been more than a bit of yearning to join in the wooly fun. The yarn is beginning to swamp my apartment, though, so there is completely no need to add to wool masses.

In other news, I've been doing some yarn dyeing and having a hella good time with that. Perhaps I'll even whip out the camera one of these days and take a couple pics for the woefully neglected blog.
