I have two katamaris finished now and I'm about 5 rows from being finished with my third. Well, let me define finished: They are completely crocheted, but I haven't been able to get magnets because I don't get paid till tomorrow. I had two people at work ask for one, so now I have to make more. But, they don't take very long, so I don't mind.
I found some super strong magnets for fairly cheap online, so I'm gonna order them tomorrow or early next week. We will see.
In other good news, our electric bill was only $26!! I'm pretty excited considering it was over 80 last month. Maybe we haven't been home as much as the month before...Who knows?

NaNa...NananananananaNa Katamari Jag
I have knitting jag.
Unfamiliar with the term? Check out Casting Off, by the Yarn Harlot.
I finished up my sweater, and after looking on Ravelry, I found a really cute hat pattern. I got finished with the knitting and needed to graft the seam...Yeah, well...Let's just say it's been frogged, for lack of a better definition. I was so disappointed in my disastrous attempt at using a provisional cast on and grafting cabled stitches. I plan on tweaking the pattern just slightly to make the same style hat, only in red and white for my little sister's graduation present.
However, before I can get that done, I need to get over my jag. What am I stuck making this past week?
You guessed it: Katamaris. They are just cute as hell and super cheap to make, so I am making bunches of them and throwing them in my great katamari bag. Until I have the money for the magnets I need to make them useful, I am just crocheting an obscene amount of little pieces and throwing them together in one small project bag. I figure after my jag is over, I will have enough pieces to furnish my entire family with katamaris for the next few years. Chris demands that each of his katamari's "nubs" have a 30 lb pull, so his are on special order. Besides crazy boy, everyone else gets the standard JoAnn's magnets called for in the pattern.
I needed a place to vent about my jag because I feel silly making so many pieces but not having pictures of them. The reason I have no pictures is because I don't want to take a picture until it's finished. It won't be finished until I get the magnets. I won't get magnets till sometime this weekend. Grr. I'll probably take them all with me to work on Sunday since I open and I won't have anything else to do from 10-4.
Did you know that on this page, crtl+u actually is the shortcut for the page source as opposed to underlining text? I didn't realize that till today, and it bugs me. I wanted to underline. Now I am sad. Maybe some happy katamari goodness will help!
