weird title I know, I'm listening to Garbage on my laptop right now.... so its a line from one of their songs.

My ISE scarf is coming along nicely, after a false start the stitch pattern that I've chosen is working really well with the yarn.

Its Lorna's Laces Green Line, and my lounge room lamp just doesn't do the colours in this yarn any justice at all! I took it to work yesterday because my usual lunch buddie wasn't going to be in, and rather than sit around doing nothing for an hr (like usual) I brought it in for something to do.

The colours just popped out in the natural sunlight, there are so many different shades of green in this yarn its amazing! My buddie is a gardening guru it sounds like, plus she listed one of her fav colours as green so the yarn is pretty fitting in more ways than one.




This pattern is Scarves to throws month 3 (available here) and this is what I attempted prior



Which in real life, much like in the picture, looked a lot like green mush. Not much stitch definition, this pattern would look better in a solid colour I think.

And totally off this topic, I have a sudden urge to knit socks ?! WUT? huh?

I've only ever knit one pair, with worsted weight cotton yarn and i gotta say i just didn't get the omgimustknitsockslotsofsocksandnevereverstop obsession that seems to grip a lot of people.

I'm blaming this sudden need on these really cool new shoes of mine




They're Converses in blue that goes really well with denim... as you can tell... and seeing that I wear nothing but jeans they're exceptionally cool!!! They're just regular chucks they don't go up the ankle.

But really hand knit socks would not be showcased by these shoes so I'm not sure why I feel like I need them. Maybe its because these are so awesome that they deserve something better than store bought socks *dunno*

but i think they're going to be my next project. Take that 40degree heat - yeah i hate it so much!!
