Birthdays, Washcloths, and Compulsive Knitting

1. Birthday


2013 Birthday Swag


Things I Received For My 25th Birthday:
  • A Sock Loom in order to, and I quote, "Finish some socks quickly." Apparently, my mother is well aware of the sock yarn and patterns lying huddled throughout my stash.

  • But then, of course, she adds to it with some green sock yarn.

  • Scoundrels by Timothy Zahn

  • Thor: Legend of the Magical Hammer. My love for a) bad movies, b) magic/myth movies, and c) animated things is well known. "I saw it in the store and immediately thought of you," Mom laughed. (It was awful and amazing. I'm pretty sure "Crusher" the Magic Hammer was being toted around by a leprechaun, but jock!Heimdall kept calling him a fat elf so I was distracted by the lulz)

  • $20 JoAnn Fabrics gift card. "No idea when you'll ever have the chance to spend that," Dad laughed. It's only got $1.04 left on it.


2. Washcloths
Looped Washcloths

They're lopsided and uneven and ugly, but I like them. Not bad for a first try, I'd say. I have to admit, I was surprised at how easy they were to hem.

3. Compulsive Knitting
Cable Curtain Tie

I knit four of these cabled curtain ties because I didn't want to stop watching the Iron Man Armored Adventures on Netflix. Yep.

Bonus
I bought this yarn earlier. I don't need it. I don't have space for it. But I wanted it desperately.

It's called "Loki."

Etsy Store Renewal for My Birthday!

I turn 25 today. And I've been building up inventory for my Etsy store for almost the entirety of 2012. My birthday present to myself is listing all of those things I've been making on Etsy.

It's like a Hobbit birthday party, except that I have to pay for the listing and the party goers have to pay for the items.

The point is that I have made things! And now you (or your friends or your neighbors or anyone you'd like to tell, if you want to) can have these things!

Yes. Go! http://freakishlemon.etsy.com! Peruse! Click on some things! Possibly buy some things!

For now, I'm going to go see a movie with my brother that I predict will be both terrible and amazing.
