In Deep Knit

I learned yesterday that posting about Supernatural will get you readers.  Hello, readers! I'm not sure my knitting blog is going to be what you're looking for, but its nice to see you. :)

...on to knitting.

I'll admit, I wasn't as productive as I should've been yesterday, but I had a (moderately) valid reason.

Also, I think my chronology is a little off, as I've been writing blogs to be scheduled to post and so we have two nights to catch up on, cause I forgot to do it last night.

So Wednesday night I went with my friends Georg and Ellen to pick up their couch surfer (who was this really chill yogi on his way to Taos) and then we went to Pizza Lounge in the fair park area to have wicked good vegan pizza.  Now I'm not vegan, or do I care to be, but they are, and I'll eat pretty much whatever is placed in front of me.  Admission time: I wouldn't have been able to tell that the pie was vegan, except I was there when we ordered it.  It was amazing. For realsy.  Anyhow, I got back in late, and only got a row or two done on Clapotis before passing smooth out for bed.

My kid is terrifying

Thursday I work by appointment only, so I usually piddle around the house, knit, watch Supernatural or
X-Files or Gossip Girl (don't judge.) and get all my laundry done for me and the Kid.  Except yesterday I slept until 12:45, barely made my 1pm meeting, and had a massive headache.  I got back about three, started section four of Clapotis, which is awesome, because I love turning that corner.  There's something exquisitely cool about taking my increases to decreases and making a corner.  I love mitering, too, but that's another day's post.  Also, you get to start dropping *two* stitches on the pattern row, which is ridiculously fun, About five-thirty I went with Sister to go eat, where I had a brilliant margarita at Applebee's (of all the freaking places) that was Absolut Texas (cucumber/Serrano infused), with sweet and sour mix, and fresh jalapenos.  Loved it.  Then we went to Kid's belt ceremony where she kicked ass and earned her blue belt.  She's pretty cool.

We didn't get home until about nine, when we did math homework and watched House until she fell asleep.  I started a third skein of yarn when I turned the corner, and the more I look at it, the more I think maybe that wasn't the best place, because weaving it in is going to be a bitch, but I also don't really want to frog anything down, so I'll deal with it in a few days.

ETA on new yarn? 11 days.  :) I'm hoping to have the scarf finished by then.  Shouldn't be an issue.

Misha Collins, Marry Me.

Seriously.

This man. <3

I watched way too much Supernatural last night.  This is somewhat normal for me.  I've seen the entire series all the way through roughly a bajillion times.  Its because its a soap opera for nerds.  And also because of Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins.  (Sorry Jared P.)

So anyhow.  I watched the hell out of Supernatural last night.  Sam went to hell to be trapped for all eternity with Lucifer and his half-brother and the Archangel Michael. Dean moved in with that woman.  Cass ... well.  Hey! AssButts! Oh.  Cass.
I then went through my texts and here are a few that I sent to some friends that would otherwise freak people out, but that Supernatural fans will understand:

• I miss Lucifer.
• Give me an angel fallen from heaven over a demon with a conscience any day.
• I'd go all bad wolf to save Dean from that.
• Do you think its worse to die on the ceiling in flames, or torn apart by invisible dogs?
• If he gripped me tight, I'd turn to a puddle of quivering girl, unable to be pulled from anywhere.
• Bacon cheese burgers *ARE* a food group.
• You're a bag full of dicks.
• When do they do laundry?

 Ah.  Fandom.  I'm not certain when I became a crazy fangirl, but I did.

So...what does this have to do with the KnittyYear? I hear you thinking.  Spence, your fascination with a set of brothers who travel around the country in the worlds hottest car is amazing, but this blog is about your Knitty project, isn't it?
 
It totally is.  And here's what it has to do with the KnittyYear:

I worked on Clapotis while watching the end of Season five and the beginnings of Season six.  I took it out of my current wips, and completed all of section two, and most of section three, so I should be done with it....soon.

I haven't decided if it counts towards the KnittyYear, since I technically started it before I started the project, and to be honest, I love this pattern immensely.  I've made probably six of these before now.  I'll probably make it again when I reach the 'c's' just because I do love it so much.

 Eta on the yarn ordered yesterday? Still about thirteen days out.  Yay.
