I DID IT!

I finished a project!!!!! It's not the one I started first, but I FINISHED MOONTEAR'S SCARF!

I never even had a chance to update the link to the right.

Moontear is going to send me a link so I can put up a finished picture!!!!

Now, to finish that blanket. ;-)

Finally!

Well, I frogged Moontear's scarf one last time and restarted it. I'm liking it much better this time. Soft, uberlong, and the stripes are going in the direction she wants....

I'll put a new link up soon -- I have no internet at home at the moment. TimeWarner will be over to install the new line. ^_^

Until then!

One more thing!

Ms. Val brought me the Stitch 'n Bitch Happy Hookers book! She checked it out of the library for me so I could take a look at it.... It's seriously awesome! I cannot WAIT to try some of the patterns!!

I'm going to have to buy the book for myself. At least it's "search inside" ^_^

I'm also going to be investing in some wooden knitting needles. It's been suggested to me that the wooden needles will be the easiest to learn on.

And then -- more yarn! I have better storage now, so I can invest to my heart's content. =D

I'm still alive!

I'm seriously swamped though.

The last crocheting I did was on the trip with Val and Grim -- we went to Origins in Columbus, OH. It was a lot of fun, but packed with stuff to do! So I didn't exactly get a lot accomplished.

I started Moontear's new scarf and frogged it several times before I made up my mind. Now I've got a few rows done and I think I actually like how it's coming out. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I can't do that slip-stitch pattern with the yarn I got.... The texture of the yarn completely counterbalances the pattern, so you can't see it at all. I may frog the scarf one more time and starts again with a smaller hook. I haven't decided yet.

The blanket hasn't really moved at all... it's been too hot to work on anyways.

I've spent the last two weeks working a shitload of OT, attempting to clean, hanging out with P&V and generally being in a wicked bad mood. Things are going better now, and I hope now that thinks are going better, I'll have more time for crocheting!

I'll post pics and update the progress bars when I have a bit more time.

Until then darlin's!

This has nothing to do with Crocheting....

...but I don't care.

I GOT INTO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Neat!

I never really bothered click all the links on Ms. Val's blog. But I did today... actually I did about ten minutes ago as I was procrastinating on going to bed. And eating... (that's a different storey though :( )

Admist her links to the blogs she reads I found the Get Stitchy Forum. I poked around and all I can say is damn. I found some interesting bits of info... Like the "pencil hold" on the crochet hook is actually not as common as the "knife hold". I do the knife hold myself... well kinda... a modified knife hold. Maybe I should adjust... it might make things easier. I tried the pencil hold a few days ago, and it was really uncomfortable.

Soooo.... I registered. *blush* Val's mentioned Get Stitchy before... I don't know why I never bothered to check it out before.

^_^

YAY for help!
