if i used bamboo....

i'm certain that my needles would be smokin'.  i have 15 rows of the chart to complete before i can start a-steekin' the Skull v-neck.  and it is looking good, let me tell you!  it's not huge at all!  in fact, after blocking, it's actually going to be the size that i intended it to be!!!!!  i've been knitting on this like a crazy thing all week, cause of the dead line and the fact that i still haven't started the easier b-day gifts that are in the line up.  i entirely plan on having this bad boy completly done tomorrow (sunday at the latest) and you better believe a picture-heavy post will be soon to follow!  after a couple of inquiries, i decide to give posting the chart a go (check the sidebar).  any questions about the chart, drop me a line!
in non-knitting news, g and i are looking into buying a new car.  the one we have now--a mercury tracer wagon (shut up!) has put up with quite a lot from us in the past almost 3 years (at one point, g was commuting at least 120 miles a day for a couple of months), but i think that its rapidly approaching that fateful time of "holy shit everything is falling off/breaking down/what's that freakin' noise?"  we are looking at pontiac vibes (cause i love a hatchback like no body's business), and we have an appointment at a dealer's on monday.  i'm jazzed.

WOW. Ubercool!

My mom was here the other day, and I showed her your previous picture. She loved it and told me about a bus driver she used to know who knit during long waits and was knitting a sweater for a friend with skulls around the bottom and a very high neckline with a tongue...
