well, since I'm going to be up at 4:30 AM PT all week

figured I'd might as well get up this morning when my eyes popped open like little sprockets this morning at 6:34 AM.
(why is it that I wake up early on the weekends?)

Anyhoo, I dreamed about knitting all night. Not really specific dreams about knitting, but that I was knitting during all the other happenings in my dreams.
They say that if you dream in a language you have accepted it and have learned it (to an extent I guess, I KNOW I will always have tons to learn in French, not to mention German, which I still can only order coffee, beer and tell which trains are only arriving on Thursdays (or some such nonsense.).)
Does that mean I have accepted and learned knitting? I haven't even tried the step yet. I just watched the DVD (and have perused more knitting stores for cable knit cardigans that you can imagine.)

Oh and speaking of the bag I need to schlep all my yarn and pokey needles around in (oh, that fredlet, she's a subtle one sure enough.) I want one of these bags with the wooden handles that the little old ladies used to carry... (there's another auction up in a couple days...) failing that, I want one of these baskets, and if I still need something more portable, I might reuse one of those triangle bags I got in Paris as a shopping bag. Either that or a Timbuk2 bag.
They have a couple new ones, but frankly, their totes might be worth a looksee.

Obsessed much?

I found a "how to knit" kit at Target on sale (my two favorite things to say together!) and the thing that makes this different than all the other "knit kits" out there is that it has an instructional DVD and needles (granted, I'm sure they are a crap fest, but I don't know any better.. I'll be sure to be snobby about it further on down the road.). The yarn is ugly and I don't even want to make the pillow they describe, but it does list a bunch of different patterns to learn, so its ok.

Perfect thing to take on my trip. I even checked online to see if they wouldn't take away my plastic needles at the airport security.
Frankly, my taste in clothes is probably more of a security issue than those plastic-y things.

(and frankly, the first thing that I thought of about knitting was "what bag should I cary my knitting around in?")
