Get that yarn away from her..

before she hurts herself!

the bad news: the sock--

is no more...i could already tell there was not going to be enough yarn..but..

the good news: this came today! (it is so fun to get packages when you're at college!!)
yay! i can start the mitered square blanket now!! i know i will need much more yarn than this, but i think it will be best to order it in installments..i'm so excited, ya'll don't even understand..

Moving Right Along

I'm getting pretty good at knitting while reading textbooks..before long I'll have it mastered..the only thing is that it takes me longer to read, because I get distracted..but look at my sock!

And I'm completely loving it..not bored at all! knock on wood...

unBEARably cute kimono

Aww! this is my take on the baby kimono from this book I altered it a little as i went..b/c 1. my bear is not as big as a newborn and 2. b/c i didn't think i was going to have enough yarn..it's lion brand cottonease and i love it..and there was enough, i could have made it longer but i didn't..anyway, i still think it's cute..
and i made the whole thing saturday night..which was exciting b/c if there's one thing i love, it's instant gratification..
my next project is not going to be so instant...


This is the beginning of my Sockoberfest project: kneesocks (!) from the Patons Kroy Socks yarn I got in the only real yarn shop I've ever been in, in Daytona Beach on my senior trip last summer! I have two skeins and I really want it to be enough for kneesocks, cause I really want some!! especially after reading about cara's

at the risk of failing music apprec (that would be a pity) i have to go study now..sigh..maybe knit a few more rows of that ribbing while i'm reading my psychology chapters..

Summer Vacation Warshcloth Fixation


and then some...

this summer, i made about a zillion ninepatch washclothes from the pattern from here (i love these girls!)..since i'm a (poor, broke) college kid, i don't really have any dishes for them, so i use them to wash my face..

The two ballbands on the top and bottom of the first column have been made in the time i've fought for since starting school..as was this one, which i finished last night:

I'm getting just a little tired of making washclothes..i think i'll try to mix it up a little bit..
