Some Progress...

Thank you all for your comments about my wave pattern. My blanket will probably be blue and have the design in yarn overs, with a pentagon or hexagon shape.
In the baby cardigan news: I finished the right front in school today, and am working my way up the back. No pictures today, but maybe tomorrow I'll have an actual post, with lots of words and pictures at the same time!
I have another poll, if you don't mind, could you answer it? Thanks!
Off to dinner-
Bye!

Just Pictures Today!

TA DAH! I knitted this stitch too loosely-what should I do?
I have a really long foot-the sissors are regular size.
After ripping back... This is the design I'm planning for my blanket-I want to make sure you can tell what it is, so in the comments, could you please tell me what the pattern looks like to you?

Happy Labor Day!

In light of not having school today, I did do some knitting-however, my camera doesn't seem to want to talk to the computer right now, so we'll just have to live with verbal explanations, won't we?

I found the blue yarn ball for my sock, and one sock is finished, and fits perfectly. However, its mate will have to be put on hold, as the yarn (not me, the yarn) forgot to make an edging for the cardigan, so I had to visit the frog pond for a while, but now I'm back on track.

Remember the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the summer?
Well, I've been updating them, and adding a few, but in recent weeks, I suddenly found I had a lot more projects than I have written in one place. So, seeing as my planned post (that was complete with pictures) has been ruined, today I will make a list of my knitting goals for the 2007-2008 school year. It is in order of when I plan on finishing them, not necessarily the order I plan on starting them! :)

1) Finish BBR's sweater and put buttons on both his and his sister's ALL DONE!!

2) Make presents for 3 close friends (No, I'm not even going to hint about what they will be-these WIP will be strictly off-blog until they are given to their recipients!)

3) Make a Phoenix scarf for my DM (I just got the book!)DONE!

4) Dye, spin, design and knit a blanket of my own creation. I am planning the design now, but will have to wait for the resources to start the spinning/dyeing. This will probably be a 4-H project.

5) Finish the "Cut Your Teeth" socks

6) Knit my own pants-4H project?

7) Knit socks in school colors using the Quidditch Socks pattern from Charmed Knits

8) Make two Sheldons for BBR and BGR-this doesn't have to be by this year. They probably won't be able to play with it or be cute with it till they're 2 or 3....
Thanks to Knittypants for her post on the cute turtles to introduce me to them!

Gosh

I have another friend's birthday today, so here's a tribute to our wonderful "Puppet"!
I wanted to do yellow for the color of the font, but it was really hard to read. We'll just settle for orange, shall we?
Thank you for laughing, groaning, hugging, and talking with me. You are so kind and helpful, always with a smile and a positive perspective. I enjoy your company, and I'm sure E and S do, too.
Thanks for all of the times you explained to me the rules in basketball and volleyball, and for the times you showed me how to crochet.
How is your blanket coming along?
Thanks for going with the flow when I had the crazy idea to have a knitting/crocheting club in middle school. I liked it that you were willing to go out of your comfort zone and learn how to knit-you are always game for something new.
I appreciated that you missed some of chorus those days, just to be with the Package. Your caring and support is beyond compare. Your funny stories was how I got through some school days.
Happy Birthday, L!
How does Craft Night at the library sound?

Stolen Time

I don't have much homework today, but the past few days have had lots of homework in various classes-I guess that since it's the middle of the week, the teachers are giving everyone a little break.
I'm happy about that. My knitting is happy, too!I am right at the heel, which is supposed to be blue. I'm searching for the blue ball of yarn-I had it Sunday, put it down...and it seems to have decided to wander off.
"Here, yarny yarn yarn.....I've got some needles that are missing you! Why don't you come back?"
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I've started a new project. Well, yes and no. Yes, I just cast on another project, but no, this isn't a new one. This is the friend to the pink cardigan I finished a week or so ago. I can't wait till they are both done, so that I put them next to each other and coo. However, the cardigans aren't the same as seeing the babies to which the jackets will soon be owned by.
I stopped by our neighbor's house, where the twins (which I will call Baby Girl R, or BGR and Baby Boy R, or BBR) were. When I came to help, both were asleep, with BGR drooling (but it was very cute drool). Their mother was holding BBR, and I got to hold him. I accidentally woke him up, and he fussed quietly until Mommy was within reach. He (and his sister) are so adorable-I can't wait to see the cardigans on them. However, I still need to get buttons for the pink one, and, as you can see, I have a lot to do on the boy cardigan.
And now, it's time for "School Conversations"
Several people observed that I would get suspended if I kept on bringing my knitting needles to school. (I haven't, and I've talked to several teachers about knitting, so I guess I'm safe!) Other people asked me to knit them sweaters, and one boy swore at me when I said I wouldn't be able to-but hey, it's just the life of a freshman knitter.
PS: I have a new addition to my sidebar-a poll. If you're reading this, could you answer the question? Thanks.
