whee!

so my yarn came from webs (i spent half of my last paycheck on yarn..90 dollars worth)

i got:
2 dk cashsoft
7 donegal tweed in that beautiful green in the magazine
5 donegal tweed in lime...

so i guess i could make two more cph? i need more the lime, maybe i'll make it for my sis? hmm... no she needs to learn to knit before i spoil her

today i was supposed to go to school, but there was too much pain from being a woman.

class would end in 2 minutes actually wow.

i've been listening to some Keane...a british band... if you like piano work and cute guys, this is for you ;)

i saw them on saturday actually. goodness they are incredible and have awesome accents, and dress well, and dance well, and heheeh
i can go on and on. sigh. i need to find a boy who dresses with clean cuts ;)

umm what else

oh i got a new sewing machine, the one before was circa 80's or 70's and is all metal, mechanical, and really a piece of art, heavy, and hard-core. alas it couldn't be happy stitching a single hem, so...got the brother 6000i, which can do flowers and leaves, and funny loops. and oh yah it can sew heheh


mare

a meme?

now this is interesting! hehe a meme..what does that mean
but anywho 5 things about me that i haven't written in this blog..
(and sorry to be a party pooper...won't be tagging anyone b/c all my peeps are on xanga actually..i know poopy huh?)

1) for school i go to california college of arts in oakland(fine arts) and sf (design). i used to go to UC Berkeley, but being a person that needs a community, I decided to take a year off my sophomore year to find myself, recupperate from school, live the way I want, and finally have the confidence to work retail.

2)knitting wise i am scared to death of double point needles, though I have a bunch looking at me. it's a scary thought, and I don't know anyone who knits as much as me in real life, actually. I learned from a book in middle school, inspired from my godmother and a craft club in middle school.

3)culturally i am taiwanese-american. though really my heart is set somewhere else where the world is more carefree, where there are less rules, where I feel safe.

4)secertly i have been in love with the same person for a long time but no one has an idea who he is and i'm not about to tell anyone at all. close friends might have a clue. it's a heartache to think about it and actually now i'm trying to distance myself from him, take a real breather, move on. it's time.

5)sadly i am allergic to all meats, seafood, eggs, chocolate, nuts, and maybe even soymilk because now it causes tummyache. didn't used to be like this, developed over the year. I live in fear of most foods.

hahh I know it's 5, but the last thing is

6) I love dishes, I used to work at crate and barrel, so I love dishes, mugs, and ugh i'm such a collector. I'm only 20 but I have like at least 30 mugs and cup with saucers...and now I love spode dishes (which are these made in england, blue and white, from copperplate engraving, plates)...what is wrong with me.

on a whim

there's actually a sale for the tahki donegal tweed (10 skeins for 50 dollars?) grab bag on webs, and i thought i'd give it a try! b/c i actually want a green central park hoodie?

i know it's crazy but i take public transport everyday and i need something to keep my head up.

so here's the projects up and coming:

1. "hear no evil" beanie in knitscene fall 2006 for eric(already casted on)
2. a double knitting scarf from knitty.com (one with squares and such..they have it in yellow and black, i'm doing pale grey and pale gold)
