Next, I'm going to try another hat, I think. I have this crazy eyelash yarn (which I got brand nwe with the tag on it for $1 from Value Village!) that I want to use to make the part that goes around your ears, and then a fluffy grey yarn to use as the rest of the hat. I also want to make myself some legwarmers and some of those things that look like legwarmers but they go on your arms and have a little loop to go over your thumb. After that, I think I'll be ready to try socks, which is really want I want to make. And maybe gloves, but we'll see when I get there if I feel like I can tackle gloves. I've seen patterns for those nifty gloves where they look like mittens, but then the top flips off so that you're fingers are exposed if you want to use them. But that seems pretty advanced. I also want to try felting. A blog I read had a pattern for something she calls a <a href="http://www.crazyauntpurl.com/archives/2007/01/franklin_delano.php" rel="nofollow">"kitty pi"</a> which is basically just a felted kitty nest. I think Franklin Delano MaGoo would love it. I also came acrss a website where they need people to send little <a href="http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/nest.html" rel="nofollow">felted or knitted nests for rescued baby birds and bunnies and stuff</a>. Those look like a fun little project. So, as usual, I have dived (dove? diven?) in over my head and have many more things on my list than I can actually get to. Run-on sentences are fun!

Longest run-on sentence ever: "Not only are circular needles sort of intimidating in themselves like some sort of assassin’s tool, if you are making anything that’s going to decrease in width (like a hat or socks or mittens) you will at some point have to switch to double-pointed needles, which looks very scary in all the pictures because it seems like you’re supposed to use 5 different needles, each of them with two ends and, I don’t know if y’all have noticed, but I ONLY HAVE TWO HANDS!" 2. I think that is the coolest hat ever and I can't believe you made it! That is just awesome and I so wish I could do it, but alas I only have two hands as well. :) 1. Longest run-on sentence ever:
