Pink FBB finished

It's far from perfect, but I don't think I'm going to frog it. I don't remember what the yarn is called, but it was kind of difficult to work with since it has so many ´thick and thin´ bits. I used double strands and I used more or less three skeins. I still have four or five skeins left and I have no idea what to do with it.

In other news, Novita has released their new yarns! Yay! I saw a lot of yarns that just called out to me. I want to knit a bag out of the green Mambo (which looks much better in real life) and crochet an FBB out of the gold Paola (I know, another one?!) und so weiter...

I've already started putting together a Christmas knitting list and for once it's actually organized (thanks to Ravelry!) I wonder if I'll be able to finish everything on time this year, last year was a bit of a disaster because I started so late :)

I love Ravelry

I have got to rave about Ravelry! I put my email on the list ages ago and completely forgot about it, the out of the blue I get an email with the heading "frecklegirl has invited you to Ravelry!"

I haven't really had any time to familiarize myself with it yet (still no internet!), but what I've seen is very promising. Can't wait until I can get back to my stash and my books, we've been tragically parted for over 2 months now when I've been living at my dad's. My stash is currently collecting dust in my apartment (I only have to pay half the rent in the summer if I don't live there).

I've finished the pink FBB but it looks kind of awful so I don't know if I should frog it or not, I might get some photos up this weekend. The cardigan was a lost cause so I frogged it and started knitting a halter neck tunic instead, it's almost finished... just needs seaming (I'll get around to it eventually, hopefully before the summer ends!)
