to Jinny who left that comment about the dishwashing gloves. I tried that too... but the water was still too hot. My attempts at felting has thus far left me dishearted. the unfinished owl sits ontop of my shelves in the bathroom laughing at my unability to felt it. Maybe I am just too impatient to hand felt.

as i was packing up my suitcase for my trip back to china, my mother handed me the domiKNITrix box I did a personal swap with Sara with. She sent me the book, I sent her the sempre yarn. Since I was packing, I just stuffed it in the suitcase, filed in my brain, read at work later.
I didn't read it thru yet, but apparently it's not the type of book i thought it was... it's much more useful than a book about domiknitrix knitting, it's about taking control of what you're knitting. nice huh? i hope it's v. useful.
on other knitting news, I finally have gotten past the stubborn part on the clapotis. It was hairy there for awhile... somehow I misread the directions and ended up having to knit the same two rows over and over again... lame i know. But finally i just said eff you directions and kept on knitting and at the same time fixed previous mistakes. yay me. Now I hope i'm still this smug when i get to the other drop stitches part. I'm hoping to make time to knit another repeat on the 3rd section today... I really want to start on the second slytherin scarf for my partner... perhaps I'll put a hold on the clapptis and start the scarf to gauge if I purchased enough yarn... if not I might just have to go insane trying to find the same yarn in HK.
