Buying and Sprucing

Reading Stephieface, I saw a "quiz" she took, so took it as well. I think this describes me pretty well.

What Helen Means

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

In other news, I have finished my Pratchghan square. I am pleased with the colors, I took a ridiculous amount of time swatching, frogging, buying new yarn, swatching, swatching, frogging, buying more yarn, swatching, and then buying yarn AGAIN, swatching, frogging, and finally came up with something. This is what the frogging mess was the last time I did it, you can see the last 3 yarns. I ending up nixing the blue on the back of the chair.
But here is the square, sans the decor that will be gracing it by Sunday (I hope).
Sylvia and I have been searching for an alternative to all of our clutter. We bought 2 cabinets at Target tonight, after returning the single tall one that was defective that we bought 2 nights ago. The craftsmanship is shitty on these cabinets, but we are poor and can only afford so much. I think they will work well to contain the yarnsplosion that is threatening to take over both of our bedrooms, the living room, and the study. We stuck them in the sunroom after cleaning the floors and rearranging. We now have hidden the kitty box behind a screen that we had behind the couch. It looks better. Also while at Target, we bought a poster and frame to spruce up the study. We don't have much on the walls, and this really brightens it. It really complements the curtains, and kills alot of dead space.
As you can see, my picture taking skills aren't the best. I can be pretty good if I try, all of our pictures for our etsy shop "Shiznits" are taken by me. But, well, the flash was not my friend this time.
In capitalism news, I actually bought a knitting book. I don't have any; I usually peruse online for patterns and such. Most new stitches are taught to me by Sylvia. But I bought Knitting America and I absolutely love it. Its a big book, and I am already over halfway through it. It goes through the history of knitting in the United States (obviously) and includes some original patterns. I got it at Barnes and Noble with my roommate's awesome discount. I love knitting history, it was my favorite part of Debbie Stoller's Stitch n' Bitch.

Well, I have to go shopping with my mom in the morning, its late, and I'm tired. Happy knitting!
