Gotta Catch 'em All


Like millions of other people across the globe, I've been reliving my childhood through Pokemon Go. I absolutely used to love watching Pokemon before school in the mornings. And I remember playing my Gameboy wishing that Pokemon were real. I definitely feel one step closer with Pokemon Go.

It's allowed me to go completely Pokemon mad. I started watching the show again, got my old Gameboy out and of course, I started knitting up a storm.

Adding a Little Gleam


I was cleaning my room today when I came across 10 or so packets of sequins that I had bought on sale. I had planned a project for them but never got around to it. Story of my life it seems. But, needing a break from my current knitting project, I decided to put them to good use.

End of Days

So it's nearly end of semester and I'm already getting ahead of myself. It's so easy to lose myself in the list I make for my holidays. I do it every time. The last few semester breaks have not gone according to plan so I'm hoping this time I'll get to achieve at least some of the things on my list.

So this magical list I keep mentioning...well pretty much whenever I see something interesting or think of something I'd like to do, it goes on my mental wait list. I basically just add it to the list to so I can get to it when I have time. It's a very long list!

The latest thing to hit my list is brioche knitting.

I've heard and seen examples of it before but I've never considered learning the technique. Until now. I've had this idea to create a two tone scarf. I've started and undone it several times because it doesn't look quite right. The issue is that I'm using two different kinds of yarn; a standard 8 ply acrylic and a feather novelty yarn.
