work, though it has gone relatively quickly thus far, is boring today. so i need some entertainment. in this case, via a meme seen all over the flist, but most recently over at [livejournal.com profile] stimpson's:

top fives. what's a top five list of mine you want to see? if, er, you want to see any at all.


see, that's why i don't usually do damn memes. but anyway.


shoot.

1. the black-and-white striped lengthways garter stitch scarf i was knitting when i was at your place. i'm wearing it today. i'm EXTREMELY fond of it. the yarn is incredibly soft and warm. i wish i'd saved the tag of it so i could order more. I also love the stitch - i love black and white, esp in stripes; it's nice to have them a bit different on this one.

2. the long basket weave scarf done with hand died yarn in autumn colours. dark reds, golds, olive green, ochres. love the pattern. got complemented on it and held up for a bit on my first visit to walmart in seattle, practically my first taste of american uber-friendliness that meant [livejournal.com profile] baranduin fear she'd lost me in the WORST of places because i was gone for so long ;D

3. your ocean green/blue cotton (& silk?) seed stitch scarf. i loved the yarn, loved the idea, loved knitting, but was a bit concerned about how wonky the edges were. the fact that you seemed to love it so much made me all warm and fuzzy. i love seeing people wear what i've made them :)

4. the big chunky garter stitch scarf i made out of the homespun my grandmother spun 20-something years ago. she'd spun it, my mum had knitted it up into a jumper, i unravelled and washed it when my mum gave it to me in a fit of glee at discovering i loved knitting. It's so very warm, and smells so very good, and kept me extremely cozy when i was in canada and new york. i got someone to take a photo of me at the foot of liberty with NY in the background for my parents, wearing the scarf, and when i gave it to mum she exclaimed over how there was a picture of her somewhere wearing a homespun scarf on her travels when she was about my age. also, the smell of it is so comforting, was great when i was homesick.

5. my jayne hat! you REALLY have to see firefly to appreciate this one. no, really. :D
