I went out with mom for dinner and browsing around the mall this evening because I'm at the point where I needed to get the hell out of the house, and man. Almost 3 hours and I was so exhausted by the end I was swaying on my feet. I may not be as recovered as I had previously thought (and I'm worrying about my endurance for the Novillero show Friday. DAMN.)
Some things though: I found a really cute pair of black high heels (but they were really cheap and probably wouldn't last very long, so DILEMMA: it's not like I'd be wearing them a lot anyway, but shouldn't I look for a good quality pair? IDK! Besides, when do I ever wear high heels? There was that once to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sutton_who's wedding, and those were like kitten heels or whatever.) Also, the only purse I found that I liked was far too expensive for being so cheaply made (found in Claire's) again, DILEMMA.
New Fall Knitty came out today, and THANKFULLY it contains a scarf pattern that will be a Christmas gift (assuming I can get it done in time): Waves of Grain, for my aunt (who, you know. lives and works on a farm and stuff.) I think she'll enjoy it. There is also Versatility a stole/cardigan/vest thingy that may just be the thing I need to use the chunky yarn I picked up on Bobmas Eve. And for socks I am enamoured with Baroque and I'm glad that it's got me excited about socks again. Since, you know, I HAVE A TON OF SOCK YARN<whoops, how did that happen? :| Other knitting news, I am done one side of clue one of the Mystery Stole 4. It is knit in two halves then grafted together at the end- I may cast on the second side tomorrow so there's a chance that I'll actually get both sides down. My thoughts: I'm very pleased with my yarn, bead and needle choice (once I got over that scare when my needle tip unscrewed and I very nearly lost about 50 beaded stitches, WOTCHER. My natural knitting movement, especially when placing beads, happens to unscrew the tip on my options needles a little bit. This isn't so bad when there's only a few beaded stitches in a row but when there's more than 50? WHOOPSIES.) I'm getting a nice solid stockinette, my lace is distinct and shows up well, the beads lay nicely and contrast well and I love the colour of the yarn. I'm hoping the pattern turns out well. I woke up very early this morning practically choking from coughing so much. I woke up my mom. I sleep in the basement and she sleeps on the second floor, and I woke her up. WHOOPSIE. *dies*
