Some Progress

St. Ives Smock 

Well, at least I've gotten something done this weekend. I really haven't had that much homework so I've been knitting. This is a good thing. I'm like 12 inches up on the back of the St. Ives Smock. I think I have to got to about 16 inches, so I'm getting there.
I'm trying to get into a creative mode. One of the things I have to do for homework is make a booklet of poems with pictures. And I have all the pictures I want to use and I've written all the poems, I just haven't been able to put the two things together into a nice looking booklet. I'm hoping that knitting will get my brain engaged, but so far, nothing. I think I'll just have to knit more.
And off course I'm watching the football games. I mean what else would I do on Sundays, right???? I think I'm watching the Steelers and Cowboys right now. I just watched the Eagles game and I'm not too happy. I'm not an Eagles fan, but for the past few games I've been rooting for them because they have been playing really bad teams. And it would have been really sad to see them loose these past few games. Oh well. I'm off to knit some more. Maybe I'll finish the back of the smock tonight.

Knitting Quizzy

You appear to be a Knitting Adventurer.
You are through those knitting growing pains and
feeling more adventurous. You can follow a
standard pattern if it's not too complicated
and know where to go to get help. Maybe you've
started to experiment with different fibers and
you might be eyeing a book with a cool
technique you've never tried. Perhaps you
prefer to stick to other people's patterns but
you are trying to challenge yourself more.
Regardless of your preference, you are
continually trying to grow as a knitter, and as
well you should since your non-knitting friends
are probably dropping some serious hints, these
days.


What Kind of Knitter Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

I found this quiz on Knit Haven's blog. I thought this was really cute. Try it out. This is what it said I was and it is really true. I am a knitting adventurer. I love experimenting with different yarns and patterns. It is much more fun making random things. Isn't it?????

Law & Order

I feel like all I've been doing lately is homework. Math, English, and Biology have taken over my life. I've had absolutely no time to knit. But now I think I'm going to knit and watch Law & Order. Maybe I'll actually finish the Plush dress tonight.Or at least get a head start on it.
Anyways, I'm pretty mad that Jerry Orbach retired from Law & Order. I really miss him and I don't like the new guy. He is horrible. And all the producers did was take the lines that Lenny would have said and now have this new guy saying them. It just doesn't sound right.
I'm also anxious to see a new show called Law & Disorder. It seems interesting. Have you heard of it??????? I've been looking all over for it but I can't seem to find it on any of the channels. If anyone knows anything about it, please, let me know.
Ok I'm off to knit.

Plush Dress

Plush Dress 

Well, here is the back of the Plush dress and the start of the front, but it is kinda hard to see, since the colors are the same. I wish everybody could feel it. It is soooooooooooo soft.

Check out this quiz too. It is really cool. And by the way my favorite color is orange. I guess by what I chose this quiz picked up that tid-bit of info.

Typing like Crazy

I'm sorry I've haven't written in a few days. I have been on my computer day and night typing up databases for my work. I think my fingers are about to fall off.
But the good news is, I have been knitting. Right now I'm working on the front of a little Plush dress. It is really cute. I just finished the back a day ago. It looks really tiny, like a newborn size, but it is actually a size 2. If anyone knows someone who needs a little dress let me know. I think it is kinda summer like with no sleeves, but it looks really warm. Whenever I'm working on it I warm right up. It is so cozy looking. I love Plush. I think I want to make myself a sweater out of it, but right now I've got at least 10 baby sweaters going to I think I should stick with that. It is really funny, but right now I've got more projects going than my mom.

Happy Birthday to Me

Well, hi everyone. Today is my birthday and I'm really happy. I had the best day in school. In Biology I had to wear a frog hat while everyone sang Hoppy Birthday to me, I got a free homework pass and a little thingy sitting on my desk that sang to me for the whole period. It was really funny. Then in English, Mr Neale, threw me a lollipop and told everyone in the class that they had to be nice to me today cause it was my birthday. But everyone really likes me so everyone just laughed. Anyways, the best thing was that when I came into math class the teacher was no where to be found. It was awesome. We did absolutely nothing for the whole period and it was a great end to my school day.
Well, I'm off to make myself an oreo cheesecake with my sis. It should be fun. Hoepfully there will still be oreo's for the crust, by the time we get that far. Oh well. Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
