attack of the thrums

i never new that wednesday was called hump day until recently because i have a friend who calls it that and i finally figured it out. i had monday off and it was HEAVEN, let me tell you. i don't even know when the last time was when I just had a day off. usually i am driving up to see my parents or doing some other exhausting thing when a holiday pops up. i thought about going up to see them last weekend but just didn't think i could take the drive again so soon. instead i hung out with my roommate and we went back to our old neighborhood to get a haircut at rudy's barbershop and caught a showing of the aviator at the vista, my favorite movie theater in los angeles. the movie was very good and didn't seem like 3 hours long at all. cate blanchette was divine as katherine hepburn. i didn't get much knitting done but i did start something new.

thrums

here are the thrums i made from my fleece artist thrum mitt kit obtained in a trade awhile ago. i had a bit of trouble at first tearing off the roving but i got the hang of it after a few tries.

twoballs

and that's the beginning of the cuff i started while at work. the ball of yarn was really big but not as big as my rubber band ball. i get rubber bands everyday from the mail person so i started a rubber band ball and it's huge. bigger than a softball and really heavy. i figure i can use it as a weapon against any really annoying solicitors. :)
