Knitting gremlins!

So shortly after returning to classes, I had a brillliant idea!  Knitting gremlins!!!

They are the cause of all knitting related accidents, including but not limited to losing needles and other notions, dropped stitches, and missed repeats!

If you happen to be an avid knitter, they follow you around and reek havoc in the rest of your life as well.  Non knitters can be found with knitting gremlins, but generally they don't interfere in non knitters lives.  

I got bored at work and even drew a picture!!

Enjoy!!!

The Adventures of Knitter Girl!!

After much debate, and surprisingly little alchohol, I am unveiling my superhero identity as Knitter Girl!!

After playing with several slogans, I have come up with "More effective in winter!"

Basically my friends and I are dorks and drank too much caffeine. I got cold and she gave me a blanket with snaps around the edges. My first thought was to make it a cape and Knitter Girl was born.

She knits you socks that are too small! And glorious wool sweaters, then felts them around you!!

How devious.

I'm seriously contemplating knitting a mask to go along with her and making her my idea for a halloween costume. I know halloween is forever away right now but if I'm going to knit the majority of my costume (and with a name like Knitter Girl, how could I not?) , then I might want to commit to something now.

Also! My friend is getting married this summer and she wants to know if I'll knit her veil. I was all like, HELLS YES!!! so I'm totally excited about this!

Happy Christmas!!

Christmas is over and it was amazing!

Harmony needles and wool, what more could you ask for? Except for a kitchenaid mixer my life is now complete!!

Christmas is such a wonderful time of year where families gather and enjoy each others company. In my families case, we get together and annoy the crap out of each other, but it's all in good fun. It's less about the actual gifts and more about the spirit in which they are given, but all too often people forget about that. So sad. I hope everyone got to spend time with the people they love and enjoyed the holiday spirit!

Finally, a FO

I finished a hat!  It's really bright.  I picked the most obnoxious colors ever and made a hat and it actually looks ok.  Well, minus the radioactive neon colors. 

I actually lost my other noro hat, which makes me sad, but this hat only took 2 days to finish, and now my ears won't be cold!!!

It feels good to have something done.

The end of the semester, and the monster called laziness.

I really need to get pictures up.  It's not that I don't want to.  I just don't want to go through the effort of taking the pictures, uploading them to flickr, then finding them on ravelry.  I'm such a lazy bum.

It doesn't help that I have a ten page paper due thursday.  Arg.  I just don't want to do anything anymore.

Kittens and Turkey

I finally have a glove finished.  One Glove.  I keep trying to knit but stupid things like work and school get in teh way.  Thanksgiving was good but I haven't knit as much as I would like and I had the stomach flu which no one likes.  I have a ten page paper due in a week which I haven't started on, but christmas break is almost here.  Hurray!  No more impending projects or papers!!!

I have started an illusion scarf for my coworker Neil (very cool, puts up with me very well, which is good cause I can be a real bitch) and I'm going to knit armwarmers for my other coworker if she ever picks out the yarn for them.

Almost Thanksgiving

Wow! I completely skipped a month in there!

Between classes and rehearsals and work there has been very little time to knit, much less do anything else. I've finished a project or two, started a bunch, and generally looked forward to the end of the year and thanksgiving break.

I started a pair of gloves with Paton's lacette. I found it at the dollar store!! Dollar yarn!!! I love it! Only one glove is done but I'm going to put the other on hold for a while as I finish a scarf I told a friend I was knitting him for christmas.

Life is crazy, and I really have no excuse for that, it just saddens me that there isn't more time to knit...
