It's unseasonably warm, I'm almost done with grad school applications, and I just want to sewwwww. (or should it be seeeew?) My new scarf makes me want to get my hands on a heap of vintage doilies and ribbon and trim and buttons and make tons of drapey, tattered, layered scarves.

*fidget!*

It's 80 degrees out today, why am I still knitting? BECAUSE I CAN. Oh geez, it's so sticky and unseasonal, yet delightful. I'd rather be working on papers endlessly when the weather is good, even if I can't precisely enjoy the weather directly. It's less depressing to wake up to a sunny sky.

I finished this week a longlonglongtime knitting goal: a pair of convertible gloves/mittens! "Glitten" is such an awkward/kind of ugly word, but it's faster than saying "convertible gloves/mittens," unfortunately. Thought it might be fun to post a start-to-finish run of progress photos for the left one, though most have been lurking on my Flickr already, and I've posted one before.


YAY.

I feel like I take too many photos. But then, that's why I have a Flickr paid account, right?

So excited for Who Killed Amanda Palmer. Dead Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman shorts, oh boy!!

Back to writing and reading papers...
