happy lunar new year

i can't believe that it's the middle of february already. where does the time go? knitting wise, i've been really inspired lately by ravelry and various blogs and books. i just bought intertwined yesterday and i love it. it's from the person behind pluckyfluff and it's a book about spinning one-of-a-kind yarns and also includes projects for these yarns and bios on people who make the yarns. i don't spin and don't know if i ever will, but it's just so inspiring to see these awesome creations. my mom also sent my a wonderful package this week containing some new year's presents that included some really great sock yarn. i am too lazy to take a picture right now but i am very excited about them. hopefully i'll be able to translate some of this enthusiasm into actual knitting progress. i am so good at starting things but never very good at finishing. i've got some bad cold/flu right now so i am going to hunker down on the couch with a new project i've started. it's cotton and cabled and will hopefully be cute. i'll take pictures when i get a chance.

happy valentine's day! xoxo
