Knitting existentialism

I knit a lot. I'm known as the girl who knits. But somehow I never have any knitted projects that are finished. I know I give a lot of them away, and the several knitted wearables I finished aren't really wearable at all. They are too big or the wrong color for my complexion. I feel like I'm always knitting and never get anything done.

I knit a lot of small projects to combat this feeling, but then I end up with a lot of small projects that I never use and therefore get lost. So then I'm back to feeling like I never knit.

It's an interesting dilemma that I've come across. The solution, I think is that I need to finish something I can actually wear, even if it means no more little projects for a while.

Or I just need to knit a lot more, but as much as I like knitting, I like sleep more...

couple new projects

I've started a couple new things, including another hat for someone that was supposed to have it before break.  Ooops.  I started doing it in teh round then I realized the design I wanted to do on the front wouldn't work in teh round, so I've started doing it side to side and slipping a stitch in the back so it will still be all in one piece.  It's kind of a pain, but hopefully it will turn out ok.

I also started another set of headphone sleeves for one of my friends, but I don't know if she's ever going to get them.  She's kind of gotten sort of arrogant and patronizing the past few weeks and she really pissed me off yesterday, so we'll see.  I hope everything turns out ok.  Either way, the headphones are going to be cool.

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.
