Am I Insane (wait don't answer!)

The bad thing about sweater knitting is that you tend to get carried away. Espesially with a mind like mine. I wouldn't say that I have a dramatic mind, but I have a mind that wanders toward drama. If you were to ask me what my favorite movie is, it's LOTR (hey, my icon is Nenya, Galadriels ring!). Favorite scene in the trilogy... toss up between Theodins exorsism recovery scene (beutiful graphics!) or Haldirs death scene (I realise that Legolas was the only elf at Helms Deep, but that is a beutiful way to do a death scene.) That is how dramatic my mind is, I am the ulimate conisure of death scenes. Playing in the woods with my guy friends, we do death scenes most of the time (go Rory!).

Anyway, imagine my excitement when God gives me the idea to knit a dress. (I belive that the ideas that are carried out with the best enthusiasm are from Yahweh.) I had to do it! Am I insane?

My idea with this is an alternate pullover. You know that stupid, shlumpy pullover that you wear and it has no shape and you are only wearing it beacuse it's cold and you need some comfort. But what about a pullover that you cna throw on and still feel stunning? That's what I want.

So now we come to the whole length thing. Where is this thing going to hit me, thighs, knees? Well I didn't really have a prefrence, until I saw Eragon.



Me and my sister have been listening to the books from the library, she loves the books I think that they are rediculous, but listen along so I can laugh at Paolini. The movie is even more ridiculous. They blew through it like it was nothing, too fast paced (but I watch things like LOTR and POTC, so anything is fast and rapid compared). But one of the panning airials caught my breath, it was when Brom died and Saphirah made him a diamond tomb. The airial of Saphirah, Eragon, and Arya was a good shot, but the length of Aryas dress made me want that dress. So I really hope this thing is going to hit me at the knees.

Now my plan is to make a cloak, yes a cloak. With complicated cables to keep me busy and happy. I just ordered enough yarn to make me feel satisfied with the ammount of yardage. Okay, on Knit Picks, that's $70 worth, on the yarn!!! Imagine if I had wanted to knit this thing in Alpaca! okay, not contemplating.

Anyway, I think that we have stablished that I am binkers, so here I go with my drama knitting.
