Tomorrow the new Harry Potter comes out. I detest logging online and seeing some smartass's idea of a funny live journal icon ruining the plot for me, so, from the time that I get my hands on the book til the time that I finish it, I will not be on line.
Don't expect me to be gone for long. I've got other stuff that I need to do, like spin and knit the MS3.
I got my yarn for the MS3 earlier this week. Wanna see it? It's perfect. I saw the first clue knit up and I had to have it in my favorite shade of green. Do you know who helped me get my favorite shade of green?
"Irish Green" by Amy of Spunky Eclectic on Zephyr wool/silk. It is fantastic! This color makes me feel alive and magickal, and I can't wait to have a stole in it to drape over myself.
I'm a little more than half way through clue one, and here it is at about half of that:
Don't worry, I knit more, and I got my nails done! They needed it, didn't they? The beads the lovely Heather got me are much more coppery, too. Don't worry. I think a good chunk of the rest of the night is for knitting on this sucker, so I may update with another photo.
I just have to revel in the green. That's outfield green, gumball green, dandelion greens in spring green, Irish Green! "Striking" someone said. In the words of Bender, "Shut up, Baby. I know it."
Ok, what the hell am I doing blogging about it when I could be knitting it?
Oh, that's right. TKGA was pretty cool. Next year I'll take a class or two, I think. Next year I also want to have at least one level of Master Knitter under my belt. I got a really bitching knitting bag. I could hide a kid in there, if it wouldn't take up yarn room.
Ok now, really. I hear yarn downstairs chanting in a very sexy, very green voice. Ciao. See you after Potter.
YAY for green yarn! Man did Amy get that color right, and I bet the beads go beautifully with it. I finished the first chart today and am on to the second and using lifelines. Would you believe the puppy did it again!!! Not as tragic this time tho, and I got the stitches picked back up much easier. Little psycho -- you said he was trouble! lol

That is a magical shade of green. I like the coppery beads with it as well.

That yarn is so gorgeous! Spunky is so super talented, isn't she? She must be on the same wavelength with you on color. Your shawl is looking great!

That is about the best green I have ever seen. I want some!
