Honest, I haven't fallen off the edge of the world...

I'm still here and still knitting. But schoolwork and then lack of reliable internet have not permitted me to blog as I would like. I'm at work now, but everyone else is gone. I finished a pair of monstersocks for my brother, and a Hedwig the Owl for my boss's daughter. In progress is a Brea Bag out of Red Heart Supersaver. Knitting double with that will hurt your hands, but it promises to be a very sturdy bag. I'm also over half done with an Urban Aran cardigan, but that's been put away until the weather cools down.

Ben and I have also moved in together, much to my parents' dismay, but we're learning how to make a life together work. Doesn't everyone need a practice run?

Sorry for the lack of pictures, but when my camera and the internet can get together again, I promise some.

Sock Victorious!

You know what these are? That's right, finished!!!!!!!!!

Can I add a few more exclamation points? !!!!!!!!

Now to figure out what to do next.

Sock pictures and a random inserted project...

So, I did finally finish one stocking, though I'm piddling on the second. I'm quite proud of it and like to show it off. So I will show it off here, too. Ha.


Also, because I got sick of the Sock, I decided to make a snood! Don't ask why, I'm not sure either. Ta da!

Other than that, it's finals week, and a real pain. I go home Friday to celebrate a week off and Easter, have my wisdom teeth removed, and get glasses.

Camera Laziness and an Etsy Contest!

So, my first stocking has rounded the heel and the foot is about two inches long. I am too lazy to take a picture until it is completely finished. So there. But I'm so proud of it and keep showing it off at SCA meetings.

Also, stop by NH Knitting Mama's blog or her etsy shop. She's running a contest and she sells beautiful yarn!

Progress and Domination!

See this? This isn't even the updated picture!

What you see is the beginning of my Eleanora of Toledo sock, which is now a few inches longer and well into decrease territory. I'm too lazy to take a new picture, so this is what you get for now. I'm quite proud of my pattern alteration skills, as I've had to adjust for pattern mistakes and my own preferences. Perhaps there will be more to come on that.

Also, guess who won Top Female Player of the ACUI Division 7 Regional College Bowl Tournament? That would be me! (Or I, if you're grammatically insane.) We came in 4th overall, but I'm still so excited. It would have been an even better weekend if I'd gotten some homework done, but I guess I can't have it all.

YAY!

One Project Down, and a New One Up!

So I finished the Green Tea socks, and now I've started the Eleanor of Toledo socks, mostly because Sabine gave me the pattern and I was amused, so we shall have to see how it works out. (It'll be funny to see what she thinks on Craft Night Thursday.) They're going slowly. I'm only knitting them on 1.5's, so I feel bad for those who used 0's. They will be a looonnng project. I'll probably have something else going at the same time, and I have no expectations of finishing them this quarter. Oh well. Just wanted to drop by and mention the newness!!!

Valentines!

So, I know now that I'm not getting any Peace Fleece for V-Day, but I'm getting a schlager! Hooray swords for romantic occasions! Also, anyone reading might want to stop by Bark and Knit to enter a contest (ending on the 14th) by telling how they met their significant other. (And she sends honest to goodness responses.) Enjoy!

P.S. The second sock is almost done, but I have to stop and make myself read Native Son for English class.

P.P.S. Yay swords!
