Hat

Today I went to the LYS and got some cool bamboo yarn that is going to turn into a hat for my dad's mom in Indonesia.
Yes, I have started it about an hour ago and just LOOK at how far I am!! must be about an inch or so!! As you can see, I am just adding more clutter to the house (not that we NEED any more with my dad and mom getting all mad when we leave stuff around) In the backround, you can see the 8th Harry Potter CD for the 7th book. get it? soo, there are 17 CDs, and then I am now listening to the 8th CD, which Jim Dale is narrarating from the 7th Harry Potter. Never mind if you don't get it. Here's another pic of my knitting:

Lotsa clutter!! Here's also a picture of the cable scarf I am making with yummy Malabrigo yarn that I was talking about:



Hopefully, I have given enough pictures to satisfy you since I haven't been posting pics for awhile.

For an end-of-the-year present to Ms. Makela (my teacher), I plan to knit an airy scarf, maybe with a little ruffle on the ends or something.

Cable Scarf

Today, after I walked home from school, i put on the 17 Harry Potter CD i borrowed from the Library and started a cable scarf with ribbing on the side-although it SERIOUSLY doesn't look like ribbing b/c i only did like 3 ribs so u can't tell it's ribbing-. I am REALLY sorry i don't have any pictures for you to view, but that's b/c i am too lazy to get out my mom and dad's store camera, and then upload everything and blah blah blah. (See? i'm even too lazy to just talk about it!!)
Recently, I've been having this pain in my calf, (the leg type of calf, cuz i don't have a cow-calf) and it really hurts when I walk sometimes so occasionally, I have to limp. And this morning...my mom just wasn't kind enough to give me a ride to school (even though it's about 2 blocks away but...still, my leg hurts!! so what am I supposed to do?), so i had to walk to school at 7:45 in the morning to get to band, but UNFORTUNATELY...THERE WASN"T BAND!!! UGH!! I trugged out of the house at 7:45 to go to school and find that there wasn't band! And often, when there isn't band, I try to get a snack, because my MOTHER doesn't pack them, (and neither does she pack lunch for me) and i would have gotten it if I knew there wasn't band!!
And now, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!! I made a really nice Valentine for my dad that has bubble stuff, where you blow bubbles with a straw into a mixture of paint; soap and water and then once you have the bubbles poking from over you're container, you can lay your piece of paper ontop of it so that you get this bubble look on your paper. Anyways, so I printed a message to him on vellum in French Script font and then trimmed the edges with those type of scissors that has a little fancy edge on it. After that, I got some "marble" paper that had bright green and yellow swirls in it and put it ontop of the edge of the vellum and on the paper. (the vellum is smaller than the piece of paper) it's really hard to explain so I won't explain it.

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!!!!

Mittens

About a week ago, I went to K2Tog and there, I got some Puffing yarn by Crystal Palace Yarns and made a pair of mittens for my mom that is too big in one day. I was WORKING AND WORKING to get them done.

:(

Sorry I haven't posted for a week. I have been busy writing on my story about this girl who gets kidnapped in a magical world and yeah. Also, I don't really have anything to knit. I finished the wrist warmers that I did not make out of the Red Heart Yarn, instead, I used Malabrigo from K2Tog. (KNitting our world together) since they are made of wool probably (and not felted), they are pilling and it's getting really annoying.The nice thing about them is that you can type or write with them well since you don't have the fingers on them. but, if you are trying to keep your hands warm, they are NOT good. They are so cool because they have a little round of yarn-overs. ok. I'm not sure what to talk about now since I don't have any knitting things to talk about.

Yesterday's hat

I finished the hat I was making yesterday at 12 in the morning. It's a bit short, so I should have knitted a little bit more before I started decreasing but it's still cool because I put a little pom-pom on the top to cover the little hole and it's really cute!
I am making some wrist/arm warmers with little thumb holes with some MORE Red Heart Yarns except its the Super Saver kind. It's really cheap, probably because it's acrylic. Anyways, the W/A warmers have a navy blue 1x1 ribbing and then it is white in stockinette stitch. It's really cool but it seems a bit big so if it is, then my mom can wear them to her work where she types and stares at the computer all day. That way, she can keep her arms/wrists warm while she types. She has been begging for mittens or gloves but I keep on pointing out that they will be pointless when she goes to work. *tsk, tsk*
I plan to make another hat like the little hat I made (previous, previous paragraph) except make it a little longer but still with a purl row after two rows of ST stitch and then little yarn overs. It is REALLY REALLY cute!

Note: Sorry for no pictures! I am at my grandparent's house and they don't have a camera on their computer (naturally, it's not a mac) and so I can't take any pictures. Yes, yes i know you'll say, "But can't you just take it with a camera?" well, in answer to that question, I don't have a camera with me and I am too lazy to connect it to a computer, and then etc, etc etc. Anyways, I don't even know where to do it on our computer, let alone my grandparent's computer.

Hat

I have started a hat with Red Heart Yarn color Dusk and I think that it is really pretty because I did a round of yarn overs so it looks pretty cool. the only thing I am afraid of is that I'm not sure how to decrease. I will look on this Crazy Aunt Purl blog because I once saw a pattern for what I an doing. Pictures if I finish the hat!
