With that said, I have two weeks to knit something up. I'm sure I can do it. I think. Let's see, what do we know? I can knit in the round. I can knit green yarn. I can make pointy hats for tiny heads. Not much to go on. I should get a move on it, then.
Wasn't sure if I should settle for a warm headband or a full on hat. Seeing as I have two weeks, I'll go for the hat. If there's time, maybe the band.
I'm excited to get started on my project(s).
In other knitting news, I just bid on a set of 13 nine-inch bamboo needles. There were 0 bids until six minutes before the auction was over. Man, I thought for sure no one would bid. Then I figured I would wait until the last 15 seconds. Two minutes left, no additional bidders. One minute left, nothing. The countdown began. 30 seconds, 25 seconds, 20 seconds. I was getting nervous. Heart was pumping, blood was rushing, hands were sweaty. eBay does this to me every time. One day I'll find out that I have congestive heart failure due to incessant eBay use. I have to learn to relax. Maybe put on some Enya.
Anyway, at 16 seconds I put in the bid, hit the button and was the top bidder with 8 seconds left. I bit the corner of my lower lip, hit the refresh button and BAM! The item was mine! In your FACE brnzgirl88!*
So now I'm the happy owner of 13 bamboo knitting needles. Just got confirmation that they were shipped out today. Woo-hoo!

Congratulations on the knitting progress! I liked your thug hat, it looks good on Pooh, a very notorious thug.
This all just boggles my mind, as I've never even held knitting needles in my hand. I can sew a button on, that's it for me. What's a cable stitch?
So, bamboo knitting needles are the thing? I'll remember that if I go back to Thailand next year. I'll keep an eye out for them.
Heh-heh, I'm seeing an interesting pattern here - board game victories, eBay bidding wars...I'm sensing ruthless competitor here!
Concerning your existing hat wardrobe: are you a Yankees fan, then? Are you also a Giants fan? If so, congrats on the Super Bowl!
Have fun making your ski trip hat!

Bamboo needles from Thailand would be fantastic!
Go Giants.
The Yankees suck...Let's Go Mets! I'll buy a new Mets hat if you'll wear it. :O
