Finally seeing the light

As you see, eventhough I haven't been blogging a lot lately due to school related business and a bad case of sickness, I made some progress Émilien! Worsted weight, lots of stockinette... perfect for my busy schedule.

And I missed my blog and you guys so so much. Homeworks and sickness kept me away from you, and it made me so sad! But, I had to think about my priorities, and now I'm winning the game and everything is going along nicely. And I finally have time to knit!

I wanted to knit something to my boyfriend, and I suggested him a hoodie with a zip and stripes. And he said yes, and I was so happy! I don't know if it's the same for you, but my love never wants me to knit him anything... I'm super excited now! (UPDATE: Oops! Sorry for the confusion... Émilien is the hoodie I'm knitting for my BF!)

Also, stay tuned guys for the next issue of What's Hot on Ravelry. I've been seeking for some sanity on Ravelry, and I have a HUGE amount of new gorgeous patterns to show you!

Not much to say...

Hi guys!

I'm really sorry for not giving much news lately. School has started again, and I am overloaded with homeworks and reading.

Because of that, I have only made slow progress on my knitting. Hopefully next week it'll be less hectic!

Anyway, my parents-in-law, my boyfriend and I are going on a 3 days trip to Mont-Mégantic... maybe I'll find a yarn shop OMG by surprise? And buy yarn? Mouahaha!

Take care guys! I hope you miss my blog as much as I miss blogging!

Raveled Here!

I needed a quick and easy knit, big needles and lovely yarn. And now I'm in love! I can't take it off! I think I'm gonna glue it to my head.

Oh... I look tired on this one!

When I casted off the first Interlocking Leaves sock, I was kinda fed up. I mean, I love socks, but these are taking forever! I decided to treat myself with some Cascade Yarns Ecological wool in Silver Gray, Us 10s and a little bit of magic loop. It only took 1 evening and 2 subway rides to knit it. Awesome! Plus, this puppy was in my queue for ages! I HAD to knit it!

Can you guess who's the designer? The one and only Hannah Fettig! If you don't know her yet (in what obscur and retreated part of the world are you living in?!?!), I strongly suggest you to 1) buy the Knitscene Fall 2010 magazine 2) Visit her blog, Knitbot 3) Fill your queue with her gorgeous yet wearable designs! I already have the yarn for the Wispy cardigan, and I'm planning on doing her Lettuce pullover, her Lapis Yoke pullover and her Elemental boatneck pullover one day. They're all in my queue!

Ok guys, now it's time to go back to homeworks, sock knitting and yarn winding... yep, because I'm sketching and prepping a new design! The last one that I was working on didn't came out great. I didn't even finish it, I just frogged it! But this one... I've been thinking about it for some time now. And I'll give you a hint: it's a men design! Stay tuned!
