new needles... new project...

as you know... i've got the knitting bug...
so i've decided to make the stitch n' bitch punk rock backpack... (for those of you who don't know what stitch n' bitch is... check out the book links to the side...)
speaking of stitch n bitch... i've been trying to locate my copy of stitch n' bitch nation... it's driving me insane where it could possibly be...
anyways.... so i've got the punk rock backpack going... and i'm aiming at finishing the knitting by this weekend... i'm on the front panel now...
i've just got the straps to do after this but at the same time i'm not too sure if i should knit them because... well... i don't want the straps to stretch... and i want to make them adjustable...
i should give a shout to some fellow stitch n' bitch-ers...
my grandmother was looking through the stuff she had moved from the old house... and she found a bag of knitting needles...
so now i've got a bunch of new double pointed needles... very nice... all colourful and metallic...
i was in lettuce knit the other day... and i was looking into getting some 5mm double points...
unfortunately... the cheapest they offered were for $10... and for me... it was a bit beyond the price that i was planning to spend... given that it's kind of rough times and there are more important things to be spending the money on... ie credit card bill.... :-/
anyways... i'm glad that i recieved this bag of needles... i've got some 4.5mm and 5.5mm... even though not exactly 5mm... i may still be able to get the gauge i need...
back to the knitting!
