Seaming is the Debil

So I'm sick( as you can tell from my muffled title), I'm sick and I'm stalled. Like dead in the water, no juice in the battery stalled. I just can't figure out how to to do the seaming on Mat's birthday sweater. It's all that's stopping me from working on it right now. See I don't knit in the regular english/continental style. I use the combined knitting method. I know, some people are going to say it's wrong others aren't going to know what I'm talking about. Either way, because of said combined method my side stitches of my knitted fabric are a bit wonky and don't move or sit the way "normal" stitches do. *sigh* I'll figure it out, I always do but with this cold I've been fighting off it's a little more then I can handle right now. So far I've got both the front and the back done, that just leaves picking up the stitches for the hood and sleeves. Oh I forgot to point out the funky homemade buttons!

In better news my sweet husband went to my LYS and bought me mohair to make me feel better. (He is a knitters dream, I know. ) One in a funky, sparkly avacado/lime green and the other in a bright pink, fluffy blob. I loves him and my yarns. They're from the Universal Yarn, they make the neatest assortment of funky yarns. I'm not sure what I'll make with these yarns yet, I've just been treating them like fuzzy little buddies and petting them anytime I see them. (This is common in the knitting world, skein pets.....isn't it?)

Other then Mat's jacket I have a few, a couple, lots of other projects on the needles to keep me occupied. There's the big purple prayer shawl it's a black hole of knitting. The purple blue prayer shawl which splits like crazy, my dad's basket weave scarf (which I have yet to start...shhh) Levi's scarf and finally my neon pink intarsia skull scarf. And with that I think I'm going to go work on Levi's scarf, it's simple and the yarn is soft, yummy alpaca.
