you want me to do what with what??

i am a bad teacher... i tried to teach Lulu how to knit, and well i don't know how to teach. all i could do was show her, but not teach her. i only know how to do it my way, not how the book teaches it, or a correct way of teaching... this is bad.

i learned on my own really, just using the book, and when i couldn't get purling, i asked cyn to show me... then i was off. from there, i relied on mostly the Internet... but i couldn't even help lulu how to knit.

so i just left her with two skeins and two sets of needles, and hopefully one of her hair washer guys can show her how to knit better.

it's odd seeing guys knit... they learned somewhere in their past i guess. It's odd seeing them knit, but then at the same time, it sorta fits their feminine stature to knit... since i find Asian men to be more metrosexual.

I did a couple more rows on my scrap blanket... it's coming along. It's hard to try to find real scrap yarn like that... sure i have left over yarn that i don't know what to do with, perhaps it should go into that afghan... like the yarn that i purchased extra of to make sure i didn't run out of yarn for the scarves. although i think i'm going to not put full 100% wool in the blanket, since maybe i'd like to be able to throw it in the washer to wash it.


Here's my progress picture thus far... looks pretty good no? & warm!!!

A close up of the colors & the stitch, which is just rows and rows of double crochet.

I think i'm going to do more rows of the solid colors, later to mix up the double strand with two different colors...

i finished watching stranger than fiction today, and noticed emma thompson wearing a clapotis at the end of the movie... i thought that was cool. ok, well it might not have been a clappy, but it had the same dropped stitch pattern, and it was shawl like... so i'm calling it a clapotis. It was gray.

i think i might go to bed early today... i am a bit tired from doing nothing all day.
