Knitting to Show!

My history teacher joked that he knew my position on an issue we were debating by the speed of my knitting!

This is the same teacher that has a cut out of Mr Rogers (maybe two index cards big) that I knitted a mini vest for :)

Enough about school.

How about some knitting?

The top picture is of a ski headband I knitted off the top of my head (no pun intended) one day. I think I used around 16 stitches, 1X1 ribbing tightly till it fit around my head. it's a handspun merino/silk blend. It kept my ears warm during color guard today, so that means it is doing its job!

The second picture is the first of my own fingerless gloves. This was another Fiber Chic exclusive; I'll post the pattern when I am done with them.

And the TV in the background? That's the World Series game-Phillies against the Tampa Bay RAys. My brother and dad are glued to the game. We've never lived in Philadelphia, but my dad has, so they are "the team" our family watches.

Ryan's vest is still underway--the book had to go to the library, so I had to wait a week (read as I only go to the library once a week now-waaah!) before getting the book again, and it's been too busy since.

The last Color Guard game is this Friday, and I'm really looking forward to it. I can't wait till next year already-our captain says we might do cool show makeup every game! We did do fancy makeup for homecoming--I'll check to see if that's legit to go on the internet. If so, it'll be in this post, right here!

I'll leave you with the coolest things in the world. The henna that was on my ankle for two weeks, put on by my best friend:

And what my little brother told me to say:

OOOOGGGA OOOGGGA!
