Found some yarn!!

I found a skein of the yarn I needed for rectangula online, of course. It came in the mail last week, but I'm working on a Slitheryn scarf for my niece right now. When I'm finished with that I will finish up rectangula.

CTM bought me Custom Knits earlier this month. There are some nice patterns in there. I really need to learn how to alter fitted patterns to make them more fitted to my body. Between this one and Fitted Knits, I should be able to learn all I need to to make better fitting garments. Of course it doesn't help that I've been knitting square and bulky things to use up some stash. LOL

Apparently, I'm a speed knitter. *snort* I've been going to this knitting group in Del Ray for a couple of months now. They all give me a hard time about knitting so far. Granted I'm just knitting in the round, but this week they all agreed that it didn't even look like I was knitting. *shrug*

It's a great group of people. We have one token male knitter. He's funny! They're all funny! I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time. I never really thought of myself as a very knowledgeable knitter, but apparently I am. There's two of us that get asked questions a couple of times a night. It's nice and I'll miss them when we move. I'll have to find a new knitting group where we move. *sigh* Just when I start to settle into a group, we move. Hopefully we will find a place that we're happy with and won't have to move every couple of years. Well, at least until we can afford a house of our own. Yeah, right! Dream on!!
