pizza night

my roommate brought home papa john's pizza tonight. she's so nice and got half of it with stuff that i like (veggies) and half with stuff that she likes (meat). i love their garlic lard (my name) sauce for dipping. so good and so bad for you. but we had a nice dinner eating pizza and watching that new tim daly show, eyes. it's pretty good so far and my friend vanessa looooooves it. so perhaps we will record it regularly from now on, not that we don't have enough stuff to watch anyway.

i got my first paycheck today, too. i don't have direct deposit yet so i have to go to the atm to get some funds put in, but a paycheck is still a paycheck. i think i might be bad and buy some yarn with it. i really dig this sweater on elann, made with schoeller stahl strech merino. i bet it will be totally unflattering on me but i really want to make it. i think i am going to get the light gray color. i thought about black or olive but they're so dark and i have so many dark clothes. i love the color that the model is wearing but know i would never wear it. white and cream make me look like giant marshmallow. not attractive. and i have been hiding something from you. yes, i started a new project. i know i know, i have so many other things on the needles already and no time to knit, but what could i do? i blame the yarn.



yup, it's a clapper. they're popping up all over the place and for good reason. i love the idea of dropped stitches and variegated yarn. i am using a luscious alpaca yarn that sp2 sent me from japan. the color is kind of bad in the pic but it's a blend of dark plums and burgundies. it's really lovely yarn. and the pattern is fun and easy so far. the alpaca is very light but i can tell it's gonna be warm. i would love to make this in a brighter colorway next time, but this one will be nice. can't wait to start dropping those stitches!

i apologize for the crappy pics lately but i am way too lazy to take them in the morning. will try to get some decent ones this weekend, i promise.
