Bad News First.

It looks like Arrested Development might be leaving me for good. I can't believe this, I love that show. How am I supposed to survive with only 2 seasons, even if I own them on DVD thats not enough to get me through a long weekend. This show helps me get through my Sunday night remorse. Now what will I look forward too?

Apple has release more new iPods. The goodies include a 6GB mini and a 30GB iPod photo. I have also heard that the release of a camera attachment is not far off. But my question is how many iPods is excessive for a 2 person family? I have kind of had my eye on the iPod Shuffle, shhh don't tell Daniel, because it is tiny and cute. And I need tiny and cute things. I often use my iPod when I am sewing, but it hard to stick my 40GB on in my pocket. The iPod shuffle could become my crafting iPod; just think how cute it would look in my knitting bag and all the knitted cozy it can have. Maybe the shuffle can hold me off until I can have a Powerbook... hint hint.

I think I have been bitten by the Rouge bug. The more I see this sweater online the more I think I want to knit it. The skills needed for this sweater as listed from the designer’s website are experienced knitter with advanced cables skills. Now I don't think I fit into any of those categories but I can wing it right? Can't I just figure it out as I go? If I have faith I am sure it will work out, can hope replace my skills? Over at Knit Pixie they sell kits for this sweater, out of Bartlett Yarn. It would only be $48 for me to whip up this gorgeous sweater. I think that is quite a deal for a sweater that I am not sure if I CAN knit. Plus this color is fabulous. Look here are some action shot. This sweater isn't really what I would call my style, as I am not really an aran kind of girl, but I love this sweater. I think it is going on the "saving to make" list. And let’s hope I can pick up the skills by then.

go for it! If you're really worried about it though, maybe you should consider buying the yarn through your lys so that you have a free ticket to bother them constantly with questions...But based on your posts I'm sure that you've got the skills to pull this sweater off by yourself.
