\"\"<\/a>After I finished the Rivendell socks, I was a bit listless over what to knit next.\u00a0 I had bought some Mountain Lace in a nice navy blue that I want to make Aeolian <\/a>out of, but the idea just wasn’t getting me excited.\u00a0 I kept thinking I wanted to knit something out of some of my handspun.\u00a0 I hadn’t done that in some time.\u00a0 There’s something really nice about knitting with yarn that you’ve spun yourself.<\/p>\n

I had managed to get my hands of some Spunky Ecelectic<\/a> Corripaca before Amy ran out of it several months ago.\u00a0 The colorway I chose was Estuary, which was a pretty mix of green, brown, and natural.\u00a0 I spun it up as a 2-ply lacewight getting approximately 509 yds out of the 4 oz.<\/p>\n

I thought with the brown and greens the perfect pattern would be Laminaria<\/a>.\u00a0 So, I cast it on last Thursday.\u00a0 I’ve gotten through the star chart and have completed the first repeat of the blossom chart.\u00a0 So far, I love the way the colors are stripping up.\u00a0 I think with the edging it will really look seaweedy.<\/p>\n

I should also say thanks to BigAlice<\/a> and Sandy<\/a> for their comments on my last post.\u00a0 Since they’ve given me permission to whinge, here it is, in all its silly glory….<\/p>\n

First off, I’m an introvert; being around people can be tiring, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like to be social.\u00a0 Things in my life got a lot better when I accepted the fact that I am an introvert, that I’ll never be an extrovert, and I learned what I needed to do for myself.\u00a0 However, knowing and accepting don’t always help when I go through periods of profound loneliness.\u00a0 I lament that I don’t have many close friends; I pity myself for not being invited out to do things.\u00a0 It leaves me feeling like there’s a hole in my gut for a few days, then it passes.\u00a0 I have to remember that I probably don’t present myself as someone who is interested in going out and doing things, and frankly, I’m not sure how to even give that impression.\u00a0 I don’t know how to make instant friends with people, and I have only a slim number of lasting friendships.<\/p>\n

I’m not looking for a pity party, but just explaining where my head was earlier this week.\u00a0 I’m hoping maybe by putting some of it into words I’ll get a better grasp on what it is that bothers me.<\/p>\n

Now, on a lighter note… YARN!<\/p>\n
