Endpaper Mitts.

BEFORE I CONTINUE! Today at the salon where I was getting my hair cut they played THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! I smirked!!

I started Eunny Jang's Endpaper Mitts the second I finished the Poms and regretted my color choice immediately. AS AN ARTIST I know implicitly why a palette offends me but that generally doesn't stop me from putting together incredibly offensive palettes. For instance, I initially paired this hideous green with red but it was just too much of a risk, so I switched to the red to black. And the black? Totally safe and boring! I'm not sure what this green yarn is - if it's "lettuce" or can be passed off as "mint," (the true color isn't as yellow) but I know it offends me as all greens do. They were fast and fun and easy, and I recommend that everybody knit a pair because they look cooler than they were difficult to knit, which they weren't. But they still look very cool.

Pomatomus Socks.

Hi how is everyone? I was just in Boston for a week. It was there that I finished the second of "the Poms." It took me six weeks to get through the first sock because I had a lot of problems. I screwed up majorly in two places. I liked to knit these in public because they looked so cool. They're very comfortable, but I was just not into it. I feel like my work does not do the yarn justice and I therefore find it very hard to take pride in this work. And yet I post about it! Nobody reads!!

Craft Blog.

Hello and welcome. I don't feel like I'm getting enough attention on the internet so I started a blog. I like knitting, baking, sewing, fine art, and package design and hopefully there will be a lot of that here and none of how I'm feeling.
