My quickie luxury hat was done a few days ago, so of course I have no picture as of yet. What was truely amazing is that it really only took one ball… well, one ball and a few yards off the second. Doesn’t that just piss you off? You have only like 7 rounds left, every other row reducing stitches, and you have to join a new ball. I guess I shouldn’t complain too much… it was quite fun to knit. I felt as though I was flying by the seat of my pants, yet it fits. And it doesn’t make my forehead itch, so I can wear it for longer periods of time.

Since I pretty much had the whole of the second ball left over I cast on Branching Out. This of course means I’ll most likely need to get at least one more ball… maybe two. Cause I may need to knit myself a matching pair of fingerless gloves as well. Yeah, I may go for the entire matching set because this is a rather nice yarn… but the real reason is I’m currently freezing my butt off in my cube. We’re talking fingernails turning purple here people. All I can think about it how nice another scarf (I’m wearing one right now) would be along with something to make my fingers less purple.

I just saw a bird flutter by the window next to my desk. For some reason it reminded me of somthing that happened recently (unfortunately, I can’t even remember if it happened yesterday or on Friday).

What I think might have been a bird flew into the window the other day. I briefly thought about going down to check it out (I’m on the second floor), but came up with some excuse not to. If the bird was alright, me poking around in the bushes would just frighten it. If it did hit the window at full tilt, then fell 2 stories to the ground, it was probably dead and there was nothing I could do about it.

I don’t know why I didn’t consider the three option of it being injury and unable to fly. If it was hurt, I could have gotten security to call animal control or something. But I didn’t even bother to go check.

Now I feel horrible.
