Quick post!

I moved! I love my apartment! I have so much freaking room.

This is a quick post from work, since I do not have internet set up in my place yet.

The pic is the "backside" of my blanket... it's the picture I couldn't get to load in the other post.. but I like the design. i think i have done another set of the pattern since that picture. Yay for yarnovers!

OK well hope everyone is having a good week, I sure am! :-D Bye!

Moving Day Eve

Baby blanket!!!! I am making this for my cousin Meg's baby, who is the cutest little boy ever. This is a picture of the front. I wanted to show the back too, because it looks really cool- sort of a "faux cable" look, but my phone is being stupid and wont send the second picture, even though it sent the first. Oh well!

AND.... Tomorrow I am moving into my apartment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally. Heh. I heart my parents, but I am going to loooove living alone. In my last apartment that I lived in for 2 years, I had 2 roomates. So this is kick ass. Look how clean my desk is in the background of the picture! Savor that sight, once I move in it will be cluttered yet again.

As I told Cynthia, there is going to be yarn EVERYWHERE... haha.. not really, but it will be great to spread out.

OK, big day tomorrow, nite all!

Listening to: "Bother" by Stone Sour

Success!!!

Ta da!!!! Wow, a Finished Object! I almost forgot what it was like to have one of those, it's been so long. My glove thing FINALLY has a partner! Right now the second one seems a bit smaller, but Im guessing that has to do with the fact that ive been wearing the first one for awhile, so it might be stretched out.

Hmm... that leaves me with only ONE WIP! This sounds like time for a new project! Now, what should I make next?!?



Obligatory puppy picture. because he is that cute.

Back from the Dead!

Surprise!!!! Yes, I FINALLY decided to pick this project back up. Anyone even remember this??? (an original creation) I am wearing the one glove-like thing I finished a WHILE ago, and am holding down last night/today's progress on glove #2! Woohoo... I forgot what it was like to knit on tiny little needles (size 3), and it's fun. I need to start another tiny project like this one!

Mmm, I had a chick-fil-a wrap for lunch, yum.

Oh we got our new computers at work, and I am so happy... a new little Dell tower that can sit ON my desk instead of the floor, and one that has a headphone jack in the front so I can ACTUALLY listen to music on my PC! Pandora.com is my new best friend. And I got a brand new keyboard, which is a Godsend after using the old nasty dirty one, ugh!!! I feel like I am typing faster on this one too.. haha... I just wish they had given us optical mice.. oh well, I am happy!

Back to work!

FREE?!?

THANK YOU CYNTHIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cynthia, who is the best knitting buddy ever, gave me some of this cool vintage yarn that she got a whole ton of for free from one of her friends! I am excited, especially since my stash is pretty much nonexistent. (teeny tiny) Woo yarn! Now I have to see what the heck I can make from this stuff. All of it consists of two strands held together... which I haven't knitted with yet, so that should be a good experience. Cynthia suggested making different patterned squares with each and then sewing them together to make a blanket, which is a good idea. I hope to try and play with this yarn a bit during lunch today!

I love the cream/rose colored combo in the upper right... somehow that color combo makes it feel extra-vintage-y. Yay for making up adjectives! The blue/grey yarn is fun because the blue strand is kind of velvety.

What to make!!!!! If anyone has any cool ideas for any of these yarns, feel free to comment.

So last night was not too shabby... my parents are gone on vacation until thursday, so it's nice to have the house to myself. My brother was over, so I cooked up a quick dinner of one of those skillet sensation things and some frozen garlic bread. Super quick AND delicious, I am quite the cook (ha). Actually I felt guilty that I didn't REALLY do any cooking, so I made cookies...lol... jam thumbprint cookies, Mmmm.... I was going to bring them to work today, but I didn't have enough jam, so I think I will get some tonight and bring the cookies in tomorrow. Otherwise I will eat them all. And that will be bad, since the goal here is to LOSE weight.


peace out.
