Internet is out at work and facebook won't load on my phone. I feel so disconnected from the world! It's hardly worth worrying about, and there it is anyway. First world problems, I tell YA.

I can't send my purolators via Internet so I have even MORE time to sit here and knit. I've been working on the scarf for dad, but today I decided to frog a leg warmer project in favour of making a Sontag out of it. I should have juuuuuuust enough yarn. I don't know if I'll keep it or if I'll sell it, but it'll keep me busy for now.

Tonight I plan to do the damn dishes and then... Work on a skirt I started last week. And I decided to make a dress out of some fabric mum gave me but I think I only have 4m. I think I can squeeze a jacket and skirt out of it though. It's also a summer dress, because the best time to make a summer dress is after the temps drop to freezing, right?

Dancing starts this week! Yay!!

Cottons, absolutely. They're generally easy to handle and don't cost a ton. There's different weights so in general o would stick to quilting cottons, but go touch everything and pick what you like best :D and be sure to wash them first to get any dye and shrinkage out. My first projects a hundred years ago (actually 22 oh god) were a lunch bag, boxer shorts, and an apron.

SOOOO WORTH IT :D I need to get my scanner running so I can scan the pic in gigantic glory rather than just taking a pic of it with my phone lol
