Softspoken is having a sale on her fantastic baby baby scarves... I like to support my fellow knitters!!!
Was $35, now $20?!?!?! She could justifiably be charging so much more! Get them while you can (now until Cinco de Mayo)!

SUMMERFUN/it never rains in southern california
I miss summer so bad! I can't wait for waterparks, latenight swimming pools, and it being acceptable to rock tube dresses in public.
I never finished my swimsuit from last year...I need some inspiration for what to make this time. We're going to Cinque Terre in a week!

STITCH WITCHERY
Back in January, an awesome Mi Scusi collector (aka a returning customer of mine) requested that I repurpose the yarn from a sweater she never wore into the scarf of her dreams.
I was so super happy because: 1> I love custom orders, 2> I love recycling unwanted things, and 3> I loved the fact that my homegirl decided to repurpose her sweater instead of throwing it away. She could have bought a scarf from some expensive store in the mall, but instead, she wanted to support handmade and reduce waste/consumerism! (That's a win/win/win.)I got to work unraveling (it's actually really fun for me and somehow therapeutic? I bring some sort of project with me everywhere I go; people always make fun of me).
Knitting with my biggest needles (the biggest I could find). They kill my wrists but chunky stitches are crucial!
C'est fini! Easy 1x1 rib because simpler is better with huge, timeless scarves.
I really loved this project and I think I only charged her $25 or so since she provided the materials. SEND ME YOUR UNWANTED KNITS AND I WILL TRANSFORM THEM INTO SOMETHING MAGICAL! (andreaiacobucci@gmail.com if you wanna)

Cry tough
Stefano and I just watched a short documentary about the best shit on earth (here):::: REGGAE JAMZ.
This song is perfetto because when we met, it was just like this: we watched each other from our windows (we were neighbors)! TRULY MAGICAL; it's almost time for summer; get your reggae in order.
We were born in the wrong time
