Found the Charger!


I finally found my camera charger and have proceeded to charge my camera while I was at the bookstore today. So this post shall actually have yummy yarn porn in it, aha.

First off, I got some of my Christmas knitting yarn in the mail the other day (Friday I think?) which I am very excited to start knitting with it.




The two balls at the top are Cascade 220 Superwash wool, which I'll be using to make some striped mittens and maybe a hat if I have enough left over. The other two skeins, the light green one will be a pair of fingerless gloves and the darker one will be a beret. Both are the normal Cascade 220 wool.

Also today I got another ball of yarn to make my Father a nice warm little scarf.



It's Lion Bran Yarn Wool-Ease super bulky yarn, I chose it because actually earlier in the year he had picked it up and said he would wear a scarf made out of that. At least I think this was the color he liked, I went with it because it would work with most of what he would wear. (He is actually very upset to be not matching.) Also the picture doesn't show it but there are little flecks of browns in there too.

The infamous first pair of socks are very close to being done. I am just about 2 or so more rounds away from starting the toe and I'll be done with the second sock! That blog post will actually probably come up later tonight. (Or early tomorrow morning to be more exact. Since it's already 11pm)

Otherwise, I have been dying to knit all Thanksgiving break, but haven't had the chance because I've been working on AP History make up work. But once this weekend it over, I'll finally be free of the make up work and be able to dedicate more time to knitting! Thank goodness!

I Fail

I indeed fail at keeping up with a blog, let alone this blog, a knitting blog!
Mostly because I'm having trouble keeping up with my knitting.

Currently on my needles are those socks, yes the socks that I keep talking about, the socks that I swear I'm going to finish soon. Yeah. I'm on the foot of the second sock, so I am in text; "almost done with the socks." Mentally though? I'm an light years away.

I also have a Christmas/Birthday scarf on the needles, which is actually quite close to being finished. That most likely will be done either this week or next.

A hat is also on the needles, this one was for myself, but I think I may frog it for now and save it for later. Since I may actually want to knit a quick hat for the winter season. (I seem to have lost my first hat I've knitted.) But who knows, I might just finish it. It's a really quick knit anyway.

I believe that's all on the needles. But, I still have to worry about Christmas knitting. I need to knit one pair of mittens for a special someone, a matching hat to that Christmas/Birthday scarf. Plus, I even wanted to knit a pair of socks for someone too. (We know that most likely isn't going to happen.)

Oh, not to mention I am swamped with school work.
I just recently switched into AP History, and have to complete all the work they had done before I moved into the class plus keep up with the current work we were doing.

All the work has to be done right after Thanksgiving Break, which is next week. (We have Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off)Which should hopefully be enough time to get all of this crap done.

Then I will be able to knit in peace, finally.
