This post will out-cute Cute Overload
You have been warned. I finished my mooshy, cuddly cowl last night after a marathon knitting session, and its cuddliness (which you may see behind the cut) hath inspired me with the muse of cuddliness.
ANATOMY OF A CUDDLY
A. DELIGHTED SMILE OF GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT
B. Bright orange fleece for maximum cheerfulness
C. Hand gestures of "I have just illustrated my awesomeness"
D. Cuffs of bright orange fleece pulled down over wrists
THAT is how you make a cuddly.
Finn has his nasty, vaguely anthropomorphic toy in his mouth and he wants you to see it. And then he wants you to try to take it from him so he can run away from you, shaking his head and being fearsome and impressive. And then you will be jealous.
This is the first time I've tried (and finished) knitting something in the round, a cowl adapted from this pattern. IT IS SO WARM AND CUDDLY OH MY GOD. (I, however, am not a warm or cuddly thing.)
And now, a meme I stole from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

That cowl looks really cuddly! What yarn did you use (sorry, it's a knitter thing)
no subject
The yarn I used here is a bulky (US 11 needle) merino mix from hobbledehoy (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=23459). I buy her stuff when I am feeling indulgent and want to make something for myself :D

7. Dream vacation: Istanbul/Hagia Sophia
Gah!! At my job, I have spent many (so very many) hours going through hundreds (oh, hundreds! possibly thousands) of photos of Hagia Sophia. It makes me twitchy now. I am sure it is a wonderful place to wander through in person, but I am quite sick of the zillions of architectural photos from oh-so-slightly-different angles (though I know they provide thrills to the scholars). And there are still more photos. *twitch*

I love that orange fleece with a scary adoration.
As do I. Possibly that's the first thing I fell in love with when I saw "Rising"... the orange fleece. I mean, it's so ORANGE.

Finn is a cutie! It makes me think of that Petsmart commercial with the little dachsund and his toy. You know the one?
I love your cowl. It looks warm and cozy and pretty! I was a knitting fool for weeks and then, about a month ago, I just stopped. I have so many projects waiting and I am too lazy!
no subject
Usually I go through phases when I knit like a fiend, but then just... stop for long periods of time. I've got one thing started now that I need to finish, and another project I'd really like to start (fingerless gloves!!) so I just need to stay in my knitting headspace for a while longer ;)
no subject
Yeah, I have 2 projects in various stages of completion, 2 or 3 projects I'm supposed to do for friends for Christmas, and no motivation. Alas!
Is the fingerless gloves pattern you're using online? I've been looking in books and haven't found anything I really like yet.
