English

English, that's my topic. I've been thinking a lot lately, well I actually always think a lot (I know, a huge surprise:p), but I just never put them onto paper, or on a screen. That's exactly what I want to talk about, why I never put my thoughts on paper. I can't, well.. that's not fully accurate, I just can't find the right words to describe how I feel or what I think. My vocab is very limited to everyday words and it just doesn't do justice for what I want to talk about. It's fustrating. Fustrating because I love to have discussions and lately I find myself, saying nothing because I'm not getting my exact point out and people miss understand me. Have you ever had that feeling? The feeling where you just feel that no one understands you? not in english nor mandarin? Everyone says it's so great to know 2 languages and I do not disagree with them but I would love to excell in one, to be able to express how I feel with beautiful words and intellence. This is not a pitty post, please do not think that, I'm just trying to express myself. Keeping it inside isn't working, so I'm trying to express it, and hoping that maybe this will improve my english.
So of course, when you have a problem, you try to find ways to fix it.. and a good one is to take an english class.. well i've tried that, it's so hard, not sure why it's so hard. Maybe it's because my difficutly is already holding me back and ontop of that having a time line just makes me want to kick things.
Well then, why not read more books, well I do read a lot, and that doesn't help either. so you may think maybe i'm not reading books that challange me, you may be right. I've tried but it seems that I have to look up every 3-4 word in the dictionary, and that just kills the rhythm of the book.

Hm, i've ran out of words, this post is an excellent example to my fustration. Some people can make this post much shorter, much more .. hmm.. what's the word.. insightful? immagtive? no.. I don't know. but yes, this is fustrating for me.

an FO!!

Yeah I've finished my yarn over cable socks!! I love them so!! everyone is right.. wearing hand knit socks are very different and muuuuch better.. I must try Jordan's socks again cause he feet deserve some handknits!

Here's a picture of them!! I just finished washing them.. and look how purrrrrty they are!! Static even loves them!! (wow.. whitest leg ever.. lol)

I still have TONS of the yarn left.... i think I used up 1/3 or 1/4 of the yarn so I will make another pair.

For Pattern: I just made my own.. kind of.. I just followed Yarn Harlot's advice in one of her books (thanks holly) and use the yarn over cable sts from sensational knits. I love them but.. I don't like the yarn over cable with the colour of the yarn so the next ones I'm going to do probably a rib or something without holes!

But.... first I must play with my wool!! I bought this at Fibrefest, from Wild Geese. This is 70% wool and 30% Kid Mohair. (i think.. i'm pretty sure.. but I can't fully remember) I can't wait to knit this up! I'm going to try toe up and 2 at a time because I want to make these as high knee as possible. I hope it works out okay.. Never done toe up and haven't knit 2 socks at the same time. I found a pattern for 1 circ and 2 circ.. haven't decided which pattern I want to use. The colour isn't very accurate in this phone.. the grey colour is more of a mint green!! it's reminds me of ICE CREAM!! yum.. perfect for summer:)
