I SEXed last night!

went to my LYS yesterday...once again it was a lot of people...and deciding on color was the hardest part. I chose a baby blue to work with. What I originally wanted to knit was a sweater. I mean, might as well get started working on my NYR...but the needles are too small for me to work with. all of their sizes are super tiny, like 0, 00, or 2 US. those were the biggest sizes that they had availble. I ended up purchasing a 4 piece DPN that was super long for the sweater.

so i got crackin last night, and after many many many times of casting on, and frogging it. i decided to go with the socks...or at least practice socks...and see what happens with that.

sigh, i am not one to be creative and go with the flow, i'm so, follow the directions exactly girl.

By the end of the night, I only got 3 rounds done. the needles are THAT small, PLUS, i had to figure out how to use DPNs...I mean I have a pair, but i never understood how to use it properly...i don't know if I'm doing it right or not though. I guess only trail and error.

also DBF got me the knitting a day calendar. for wednesday the 3rd of Jan, it has super comfy slippers. similar to the crochet maryjane's i've been making.

Last night, I went yarn shopping with the "housekeeper/cook" & her sister in law. She helped me haggle, and saved me at least $1.00 USD. It may not look like much, but saving is still saving.

I'm mentioning her because she had mentioned to me that the things that i'm making are so foreign to her. they are not any items that they would make. And i was so confused. I mean, slippers are slippers...how can slippers look foreign? well she just said that it looked foreign...and i just thought that it was funny.

here in china, mostly they just have thin yarn, like fingerweight yarn. not worsted or even sport weight. :: sigh :: maybe i need to use two strand so that i can at least make sport weight? hm. that is a thought!

well...off to try to make some form of socks.
