skates, hat burn out and new stitches

Just a quick up-date: I now own 2 pairs of skates! Today I bought the 2nd pair, the Sketchers sneakers kind. I also have a pair of the white old-skool variety, which I plan on decorating with feathers paint and glitter. Sad though, I don't know a good place to take them out...anyone else around P-town know a good place that isn't Oaks Park? Something on a bus line? (Don't get me wrong, I love Oaks but it is very hard to get there when one doesn't drive...)

So I only have one hat left to knit, but I'm taking my sweet time. It's a Pattern. Like a crazy complicated cable pattern that takes a lot of concentration, and it's just been too busy at work to break into it. It is the Alaina Beanie, and I'm using a green worsted wool. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/alaina-beanie


I also got my new stitch-dictionary, and I'm wondering if I take the five tiny volumes to Kinko's if they'll re-bind it, spiral style so it'll be easier to flip thru. There are still stitch styles I need to learn, like purling thru the back loop, which when I try it tends to create an extra stitch, like a yarn over...I'll need to do some looking up for that.

Kay, peeps so enjoy the weekend! We just bought all three of the special editions of Lord of the Rings for $30 at CD/Game Exchange, and I think there might be a marathon in the near future! Happy Crafting!
