First Day

Well, I started school today and I had fun. My math teacher was a total crank, but oh well. She had her kids last year write about how horrible her class was, and guess what, we got to read them. And let me tell you they weren't very nice. She gave us 5 pages of math problems and a lesson on what clothes we are permitted to wear.
My English teacher was really nice, Mr. Neale. It was funny. We all walked in and there he is dumping water on his head. He was soaking wet. We were all laughing for at least 5 minutes. The air conditioning wasn't working in his room, so I guess he was hot. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well. I'm off to work on my 5 pages of math problems. Fun, fun, fun.

Tomorrow

Well, I start school tomorrow. I'm really exicited. This last week I've been really bored. I'm still trying to finish a book for school and it is just making my days even more boring. I haven't been knitting, but hopefully I will start up again soon. I think I have more projects going than my mom does right now. And that is pretty scary. She is like the queen of unfinished projects. Maybe I will get to work on my Tagliatelli tank tonight. I cast-on for the front and worked up about an inch. That was it. I will post pics when I have time. Talk to you all later.

I'm finally back

Well, I have finally gotten back on the computer. I had a load of fun in Lake Placid. The skating wasn't so great, but the town was nice and there was lots of shopping, fun fun fun. I had to go buy clothes because I only brought shorts cause I thought it would be warm out. It turned out to be 40 degrees. It was really cold, but it was a nice town.
After Lake Placid I went to my grandma's and had fun with my cousins. We went swimming and I got tan. Actually I'm leaving to go back up there on Thursday. It is only for a few days because I start school on Monday. I can't wait to go back to school. I'm getting really bored a home.
Of course I didn't finish the back of the St. Ives Smock. I had no time. I was too busy having fun. Oh well. I will post some pictures from Lake Placid tomorrow.

All Packed & Ready to Go

Well, I was about to post a picture of how far I got on the St. Ive's Mock, and then I realized the camera was packed in my suitcase underneath everything else in the car. Including my knitting so I decided I wasn't going to unpack everything. Actually I got up to about 7 inches on the back, which is pretty good since it is on size 6 needles (I think). Maybe I will come home with more than the back done. That would be cool. I figure I'll knit while I'm watching everyone else compete. I'm just hoping I won't drop any stitches. That wouldn't be good.
Tomorrow we are off to Lake Placid for a major International Ice Dance competition. It is a lot of fun, except for the 8hour drive up there, but the best part is I won't have to wake up at 5 am for the next two weeks. Cool, huh??? The competition is over on Saturday and on Sunday I'm driving to my grandmother's in New Jersey. I will try and post some pictures at my Aunt's house, since she is just a mile away, if her computer will let me. Hopefully it will. Otherwise I won't be back online for almost two weeks. Boohoo.

Well, here is a picture of me, yesterday afternoon, working on the Puppy Princess's sweater. Actually I finished the whole thing last night, but I don't want to post a picture of it until the Puppy Princess and her mommy see it. I don't want to ruin the surprise. And don't worry Puppy Princess, your package is going to be shipped tomorrow. The yarn was very easy to work with and before I knew it, I was done with the whole thing. My goal was to finish it before I returned from Lake Placid, but now my goal is to finish the back of the St. Ives Mock.
I guess I was a knitting nut last night. The second picture is of how far I got on the St. Ives Mock. The yarn is sooooooooooo nice to work with. It just glides on the needles. I would definently work with it again. And because of the 40% Sale I bought like 10 balls for about $40. How great is that???
