off to the anual knitters cult weekend in asheville, where 10 of us rent a beautiful house in the mountains, watch the leaves change color, knit, talk, drink wine and have a great time. i'll post pictures later!

sensitive
today i got my feelings hurt over some silly stuff. seems like i have a problem taking no for an answer. i know it's true. i guess i'll leave it at that. i felt like i was in highschool, or even middle school, i felt so insecure that someone didn't like me. someone that i really like. but really she was just being honest with me about what she was able to do. when i was sad and cried, jaman was really sweet to me. he just gave me a hug for as long as i needed. and never said i was silly or anything. that was exactly what i needed. he is exactly what i need.
so, tonight, we went to happy hour, where jaman's graduate group meets to just hang out casually and discuss class, or just anything. i brought my knitting so he wouldn't feel like he had to entertain me. and so i wouldn't get bored. turned out that there was another knitter in the group, then another gal came in and saw that i was knitting, she said, "Are you knitting?" yes, " i have knitting needles and yarn in my car, will you teach me?" Of course!! she caught on very quickly and we knit together the whole time. it was lots of fun. i bring a scarf that i am knitting for myself, out of a beautiful mohair ( red and orange range of colors) that my friend, erin, gave me. it's turning out great! it smells like smoke, but i'm sure i'll get it out some time.
anyway, since i'm new to this whole blog thing, i guess i'll just put my thoughts and rants about me and my life and my knitting. and i don't really care who reads this. i sometimes don't want to tell anyone my blog address, because, what if i want to show something i am making them or what if i get really pissed off and write about them. oh well, heather

rookie
i'm still new at this whole blog thing, but it's pretty fun feeling so far. Jaman really helped me out with setting it up.
Last night i cast on for his sweater. i'm using cascade 22o, it is a very soft wool to work with. the sweater will be very basic, no cables or anything fancy. i told him that he has to wear it, no matter what. i don't care if he riuns it while wearing it, he just must wear it. it's my first sweater and i just hope it turns out great! i am using the pattern from the knitters handy book of patterns. just with a garter stitch at the bottom and a crew neck. the rest is knit and purl baby! so i'm in business.
right now, as a side project when i get bored of the grey and need a new color to look at , i am also working on a scarf out of the rowan, silk and mohair. it's so wonderful to work with. it's this amazing orange.
that's all for now, i've got to do a little studying before i get ready for school.
