......FSU wanted me to knit her a scarf for in the house using a yarn (alpaca cashmere tweed) that recently came for one of her sock clubs. The yarn itself is fairly heavy, and there's absolutely no way in this world we'd make it into socks. I already have one pair of alpaca socks made from a thinner yarn, and I can't even wear them for more than half an hour. Can you imagine what would happen if I made a pair of socks from something even heavier?? I don't need melted puddles of FSU to clean up! :P
But the pattern I'm using for her scarf is extremely simple and basic that I can watch anime while knitting, so I've managed to get caught up on a few series at least. :P So far in my watch list that I'm caught up on is Vampire Knight (I'm quite enjoying this one actually; I'll have to think about whether I want to follow the manga for it as well), Nabari no Ou (...bat wings anyone?? ^^; ), and Amatsuki (intrigued by this one so far). I know there are other series I still need to catch up on, so hopefully I'll be able to do that, but... I only have one more ball of yarn left for FSU's scarf before I'm freed from catatonic knitting, so we'll see how much more watching I get done. :P This scarf was an unexpected albeit short side trip for me, so I should be back to what I was expecting to be doing shortly. :P
