i Palindrome i

There's the boob hat. It's my first crochet garment. I love it. I will knit more. I've also been crocheting even more owls - it really is becoming a parliament!


Other than crocheting, I've realized I have homework I should be doing. So, yeah. Trying not to procrastinate.


Alas - HOMEWORK! Must get to it.


Be seeing you!

Hou Hou Hou

Le Hibou dit bonjour! Hou hou hou

I am so excited to have finished a crochet project! Oh, besides the Boob Hat - I need to put that up. Anyway, isn't Owlie adorable?! I can't wait to finish a whole family. For more about this project, see me on Ravelry.


Other fiber news: The boyfriend bought us yarn over Spring Break. And yesterday he asked me to start a circle crochet for him in one of the yarns . . . OH MY GOD is that yarn the BEST to work with! It's di.ve Autunno from Vergnasco, Italy. It is just gorgeous! It's 100% fine merino, and AH! I must get more. He also got a couple little rolls of a nice novelty-looking yarn. It's really soft and furry and definitely will be used. THANK YOU!!!


Well, I've been catching up on knitting podcasts for the last month or so. I listen to Cast On and Stash and Burn. I just listened to the newest Stash and Burn episode, learned there was a new Knitty out, and I just love working on a project or browsing Ravelry (or working) and just listen to what other knitters are up to.


Tonight and tomorrow the boyfriend and the roommate and I are going to dye eggs, paint eggs, have and Easter egg hunt, and celebrate the candy and hard-boiled goodness of Zombie Jesus Day.


I will be sure to post the Boob Hat very soon. I leave you with Owlie hanging out with Batman, Edgar Allen Poe, Captain Jack Harkness, and Jamie on the window sill.

There is my first crocheted FO!!! (left) I was making a granny square and I started making a tube. I like the way it turned out. It is hanging on my bed (as seen in the photo), and now I want to make a bunch of small cutesy things to hang off of it.

I plan on making a crocheted yoga mat bag soon. After all that college homework I must do. Bah.

Good afternoon.

Don't Panic!

Sitting here watching HG2G - fantastic!

This semester is starting along greatly. I like most of my classes, I get to see my friends here, and the best part of all, it feels like home. I'm trying to knit more - I really do love it - and instead of just watching many movies, I shall watch many movies while knitting - woot!!!

As I've said, I taught the dear boyfriend how to knit - finally I got a picture:



Other news, I finished a scarf. It's a simple knit-longways-with-many-colors, and I love it.

Thanks to the DB for the use of his cell phone camera!

Back to knitting . . . or Ravelry . . . or knitting. Knitting AND Ravelry? Ta-ta.

I Can See!

So, I got a couple pairs of glasses today. My prescription has doubled since three years ago - woah. Went to cookie-making get-together, pie, and philosophical discussions over knitting. Tomorrow shall be more knitting plus girl talk and Torchwood. Only about one more week until I go back "home" - second home that is. I love school.

I suppose I should be going to bed here soon. Yep.

Good night!

Feed Me

WOOT!

I finally figured out the RSS feed thing for my blog on Ravelry. I have been on that site non-stop. It's amazing. I've started to update my stash. Once I get the use of a camera, this blog and Ravelry shall see more photos of my stuff.

On another note, I can't wait to go back to school - I'm missing my friends there. Did I mention most of my yarn stash is there? But really, I cannot express enough how much miss them all - my friends, that is.

Well, on to knitting? Or more Ravelry. Yeah, Ravelry.

Ta, ta.

Resolution: Knit and Post

It's 2008, and I suppose my resolution should be to keep up with my blog. I'm crafting more and more, so this shouldn't be a problem . . . maybe. I've decided to frog the HP scarf when I get back to school. The cats peed on it in the summer, and I just might as well throw it - I wasn't that far. So, on the needles currently is a log cabin blanket and a couple scarves. I'm thinking about going to the library and getting some movies to watch while I knit.

Taught the dear boyfriend how to knit - he's taking off with it - I'm so proud. We went into a rather large yarn store the other day, and ah! It was great in there!

Hmm - that red purse I have on the side . . . I don't know exactly where I put it. Hmm.

Have a great new year - Happy Crafting!

You Dropped Your Smile

. . . There it is!

I've been invited to RAVELRY!!!!!!!!!! This site is soooooooo amazing. I shall be on that site for the next few hours - just admiring. Who needs to study when there's Ravelry?!

Hmm, well, college is good. I think I may major/minor/a combo of English, Environmental Studies, and French.

Sorry so short - off to knitting stuff!

(((BIG SIGH)))

Well, I'm here - college that is. I'm all moved in, and I'm wiped! Who knew you could fit so much in our SUV?! I've met my roommate, and she's awesome! She, too, is obsessed with Doctor Who. Gotta love it. I rode my bicycle over here to the computers (I don't know where the one in my dorms is). Maybe I should go to the car show on Main. Hmm. Well, classes start Monday (I'M GOING RAFTING TOMORROW!!!), and I have 15 - FIFTEEN!!! - books for my six classes. Most of them are short novels, stories, and plays, but I can still complain, right? I could go read. But I don't know which to read first! Rather, French? Meh. I'm bored and tired and blah.

In other news, I have a mobile - if you want the number, ask someone who has it or comment or e-mail me or something. I'd love to hear from you all!

Brains!

Ah, the wonders of wireless Internet. I absolutely love this! I'm at the library - on MY computer - on THE Internet. Huh.

In other news, only 9 more days until I move away for college. I'm in single digits. AH! Also, in other new, I am 18! Go ciggies and porn!!! Not really.

I don't have much else to say really. Oh, I have been getting interested in zombies - they're effing awesome. I am going to watch as many zombie movies as possible. I think my roommate watches them? I've tried to draw zombies also. Meh, on that front - I need better drawing skills. I have learned about organized zombie walks - I want to join one.

Well, now, I guess that's it. Ta ta.

Look! Another One Pooped!

I went to the zoo today with a few friends. I hadn't been in a couple years, and I really like what they've done with the place. Animal exhibits were moved around, (some animals were missing . . .) and the added the "Island of Life" or something like that. Let me just say that I have a new love for bats. These little creatures were so cute just hanging there sleeping. Awe. What else. Oh, the bobcat was tres cute - those big paws and adorable face . . . and the penguins. The birds were cute, but those kids! I guess if it's their first time seeing them it would be okay to scream about them, but oh well. The zoo's really for kids anyway. My other new favourite animals are otters (AKA Hermione's patronus). Very playful. We all wanted to be those otters in this heat - just swimming around saying "look at me, look at me - I'm cute and in water and you are not!"

Man, the heat takes it out of you. After just walking around outside, one get just too exhausted. And look, Ma - no sunburns! I wore sunscreen and a very cute hat.

Methinks I should get at least a disposable camera to show some pictures now and again. Hmph.
