Hats, and an Etsy Store?

I've made two new hats.  Of course!  I am beginning to fear that I really only like knitting hats.  Scarves bore me, and everything else takes too long.  Bleh.  Anyway, here you go - I'm finished with these:

Wesley -




It's my first real try at using lots of colors in a knitted thing.  I learned how to carry the yarn up the side in circular knitting!  Woo.  I'm not really sure how much I like it for myself, but it feels good to have another thing to have done.

Another Star Cross (for Jessi at work) -



The easiest and nicest pattern I use for hats.  :)


SO!  I'm going to start an Etsy store!  That means I have to knit a hat of my own design, so I'm in the process of that now.  I'm excited, so we'll see where this takes me.

This old house

So... we might be moving!  One of my roommates was driving around East Nashville and saw a For Rent sign on a house.  She called and left a voicemail.  Now, we weren't looking for a house.  We weren't even looking to move - our lease isn't up until May.  But the guy called back and sent us pictures and dear Lord, it's adorable.  The rent is cheap (only $200 more than we're paying now for our little apartment!), it has three bedrooms, hardwood floors, a sun room, a million other rooms, a HUGE basement, a big back yard... well, let me just show some pictures.






Amazing?  Yes.  We went and looked at it today and it's basically ours!  It comes at a perfect time, although we wouldn't have thought so.  And if we have trouble getting out of our lease (which we shouldn't... we have very legit reasons), our new landlord gave us the number for his real estate lawyer :)

Plum Gone

Hello!  Sometimes I take little knitting hiatuses, say for about 2 weeks or so, but after that amount of time, I invariably get antsy again and I have to knit RIGHT THEN.  Here is the latest result of this itch.



It's called Felicity and was super-insanely easy.  I really need to get out of knitting hats, but they're so fast and easily gratifying.  Besides, it's freezing outside.  Bah to winter.
