Sorry blogger dieties...

I have not been a very good blogger. I could promise that I will be better, but I try not to lie to friends...I do have good excuses first of all my team is in the world series...Go Rays. Secondly, I have been working...a lot. Much more than usual it seems, although I do believe that sometime soon the work schedule will slow down. But on to better topics...Like a new finished project...
So its the super famous Shetland Triangle from Wrap Style. I knit this bad boy up during about a week and a half worth of baseball postseason games. It is a ridiculously easy knit, super easy to memorize the flow of the pattern. The yarn is from Knit Picks; gloss.
Its a beautiful pattern that is now drying on my new dining room table on top of a bunch of beach towels because I don't have one of those nifty drying pads.

I didn't really change the pattern all that much. I finished with row 12 of the edging and just bound off. The super pointy edges are not really my style and I wanted to be able to wrap it more like a scarf if necessary. I've never used Gloss before and it is ok. I mean for socks it seems like a good option, and it certainly is affordable but its not very cozy and there are certainly more squishy yummy merinos out there.
I'm working on a turn-a-square hat from leftover malabrigo scraps and a llama/wool blend that I think is from Manos...but to be honest can't remember.
By the way, on a silly note, I am so excited about the Twilight movie coming out. (Yes, I am a super nerd and read silly vampire books written for "young adults". If there are best sellers, there may be a reason, people!!!) More soon on my Porom hat, and my cotton sweater which have been off the needles for a while now.
