one fo!

so i finshed the alpaca scarf last night. it is blocking on my floor as i write this. i wish i could show you a picture, but i haven't figured that out yet. not sure about this template. what do you think? this is what i get for being too lazy to make my own. also started a knit hat for my mom. it's going to have 2 x 2 ribbing at the bottom. i am going to make it long so she can roll it up or down to keep her ears warm. she likes that.

in other news: my friend and i are currently looking for an apartment in the los angeles area. we both currently live in los feliz/silver lake and hope to move in the same area or even over the hill into burbank or north hollywood. apartment hunting in la is a pain in the ass, though. last night we got to see an apartment over on frankin/western and it was nice. the carpet/paint/kitchen was new. one room was substantially larger than the other with a walk-in closet. cons: fridge not included, only a wall box a/c unit, smelly elevator. pros: 2 tandem parking spots, clean, close to where we live now. but it's only the first place we have seen. oh and on the application, he asks for our credit and savings account numbers. is this normal? smells a little fishy to me.
