So, it’s been sort of all book all the time around here, but I have managed to grab the occasional spare moment and actually knit (not many mind you…but every now and then).  There’s a hat underway.

It’s the simplest little thing ever (two row repeat, mostly stockinette, easy to pick up and bang out a row when you have a minute), which makes it the perfect thing for the craziness of launch week.  All the interest comes from the yarn (Spun Right Round in the color Bug Jar), and I’m not actually sure I’d be up for anything more complicated at the moment!

And it’s the absolutely perfect project to break in my lovely new needles.

I’m a huge fan of long dpns (really long, 14 inches long).  But they can be shockingly hard to find, and the wooden ones I ordered most recently have given me no end of problems.  So I was absolutely delighted when a few folks on twitter pointed me to this etsy shop.  They have long dpns (both metal and wood) in a whole host of sizes for astonishingly reasonable prices.  Their customer service is great (I had a question about the needles and they helped me out right away) and the needles came quickly.  I’m completely smitten with them and will totally be ordering more.
