On the Needles and Moon-y Ramblings

Right now, it’s

• Saroyan (in some Outback Wool I picked up on sale I know not where). This is a fast, satisfying knit, particularly good for heavier-weight yarns.

• Miralda’s Shawl (in remaindered Cherry Tree Hill Alpaca that I bought a few years ago). I have heard many a horror story about knitting this up, but I am past the giant nupp section and—so far, so good.

• one Twilight-inspired top-secret gift

• a two-tone linen stitch scarf in the yummy new camel yarn from my LYS

I did go see New Moon yesterday, as Miss Sparkles is a devotee and I like being able to converse with her about those things she holds dear. After a great deal of consideration, I have decided that I am Team Edward (assuming I have to pick a team). I think Edward and Jacob are both hugely overprotective (and by “overprotective” I mean “controlling”), but since Edward’s been around for over a century now, I figure he’s more apt to have the flexibility to deal with the changes that will come when Bella Finally. Grows. Up. And. Gets. A. Life. I mean, if she’s immortal she’s going to have to get a hobby or something eventually.
