i'm a meathead

yesterday i received my package for the meathead knitup and i brought it to work today to see if i could sneak some knitting time. the yarn was quite thick doubled and i used my size 17 needles. i made my first scarf with them but now they seem huge. i wonder what 19s would have been like. i didn't want to go out and buy needles for the project and i am a loose knitter so i figured it would be alright to use what i had. well i had just enough yarn to bind off and leave a tail. hopefully this will be long enough to seam it later tonight.

tried to sew up the dog sweater last night. that was a bit of a disaster. i know lots of people hate to finish and now i know why. i had such a hard time and finally only had an inch or so that i can actually use. the rest was ripped out. what kind of stitch do you use to stitch together ribbing? hmmm. but i want to get this done by the weekend so i can try it out on my dog over the holiday.

in unpacking news, we tried to organize and put out our dvd collection. both of us have a lot of dvds, not to mention old vhs. took us almost 2 hours to go through them all and weed out the doubles, alphabetize them, and put them on a shelf that is way too small. we didn't even get to the tv series dvds and the vhs. yes we like to stay at home and watch movies. how else would i get any knitting done?
