Wahoo!

I FINALLY got my circular needles that I ordered online, so I started a pair of knit longies for Charlie.  I decided to make them with acrylic yarn because a) this is a test pair to see if I really know what I'm doing, b) acrylic yarn is cheap and c) I have A LOT of it on hand.

Working the waist and the gusset (the crotch part) was simple.  Splitting the legs and switching to DPNs has been very tricky, and I'm scared to go back and work the other leg.  I'm afraid I'll totally blow it, but that's why I'm using the acrylic yarn, right?  Right.

This picture makes it look all tricky and complicated (even though it's not) but that's okay because I want you all to be impressed with me, 'n shit.  Shallow, innit?

Impressed. As always. I have a crafting bug lately. But as we are two seconds from living in a cardboard box, I have no extra dinero to spend on crafts, yarn, blah blah. Yes I feel sorry for myself DAMMIT!

I see lots of yarn and some chopsticks. What the hell you do with those is beyond me. I bow before your knitting prowess.

Not only is acrylic yarn cheap and come in huge yardage but it washes very nicely in the machine along with all your other clothes.

I think it looks like you're doing a great job with the circulars and dpn. Hooray for you!
