So I present you with a cop out: pictures.

This is a jumper I am knitting at the moment. It’s going very slowly because the yarn is so thin! (knitted on 2.75mm needles) It’s fun though and quite relaxing because it doesn’t require much thought as it’s pretty straightforward. I’m also crocheting a little cardigan which is infinitely more complicated and really have to pay attention to every stitch. It’s nice to have two very different projects on the go at the same time.

This was me all dressed up last Saturday for a friend’s wedding, wearing my crocheted shawl.

In other exciting news, I am going to start taking violin lessons in September! I am insanely excited. I attempted to play the violin when I was little which was a big disappointment, but I feel I am now ready to take this on with more enthusiasm and maturity (lol).

One-Skein Scarf (Crochet), originally uploaded by rrreow.

I’ve recently taken up crocheting (a suggestion by my friend Daniela) and after doing it wrong a lot of times and then finally getting my aunt to show me how to do it right, I thought I’d attempt an actual pattern.

It’s from a book called Stitch ‘n’ Bitch: The Happy Hooker. I find crochet extremely fun! I’ve knitted before, but I seem to always get bored before I finish anything. With crochet there are so many more stitches and possibilities to make stuff look interesting without getting too complicated.

I also find it very relaxing. I sit upstairs and listen to classical music while creating. It’s a nice change because I usually spend too much time at my computer!

I think my next project will be a shawl. Have to swallow the fact that (nice) yarn is incredibly expensive though. The results are well worth it though.
