i love hands from uruguay...

so, i decided to start ANOTHER PROJECT FOR MYSELF!!! because i'm kind and generous to me. anyhow, i was out this weekend with the lovely and charming jess and we went yarn trawling. she called me an enabler because i enabled. and i'd gladly do it again. anyhow, i bought my some manos del uruguay in greyishgreenishbrown (okay, they call it "loden") with which to make my hot lava cardigan (no seaming!):

and here's what i've done knitted so far:

actually, that's not true - since then, it's grown to double its size, but i didn't take a picture of that part. i might not take pictures until part 1 is finished. anyhow, since i've been here, i've also finished branching out (yaymee, close your eyes if you don't want to see!):

and a horrible flash-laden picture which captures the color better (i don't have any natural light to speak of in my room - and all of these have my institutional sheets as a background):

i've also made half of a scarf (i need more yarn) for ME out of rowan polar from the stitch as broadcast on sheep in the city's site:

and a close-up of the yarn/detail:

now, as is somewhat on-hold (why is it cables are fun to do, but when you have to motivate yourself to do them, you never think they're fun?) as cables don't do well on the subway, is what i have for my first sleeve of mariah (moi, make a mistake in the cables of the center panel? NEVER!):

i need a good way to organize my fo's and wip's and whatnot... i'll think about that later, though...

that's what i've been doing with the needles, anyway...
