I feel like writing yet another post.

Yes, I'm that bored.

I worked on Justin's scarf a bit today while watching The Matrix. Then I started working on my Kerchief Scarf, which I've decided to turn into a wrap. After all, I have enough cotton for it!

My hands are ridiculously dry. I haven't really been eating or drinking much dairy - I have dairy aggravated excema, so I get dry skin when I eat or drink dairy on a regular basis. But the weird thing is, normally it's the backs of my hands that get dry, and lately it's just been between the fingers that gets dry. Maybe it's from knitting too much.

Now that I think about it, fall is coming... meaning that pretty soon my feet will dry up and new splits will pop up on my toes. Yay me.

I indulged again - I pulled my duvet over me and listened to some of the songs off Darkness on the Edge of Town while going through my issues of Knit.1. Then I turned on the radio, and they played a song from said album, a song called 'Promised Land'. Or is it 'The Promised Land'? Anyway, it's a cool song. Mom called me up for dinner, but I didn't come up. When Dad called me up for dinner a little bit later, I came up and ate.

I'm getting back into the habit of playing my keyboard. I've been trying to play 'Bennie and the Jets' by ear, which is going okay. 'Badlands' is much harder, because the tempo is quicker.

Another day of grogginess? SERIOUSLY?!

I'm still feeling weird. My stomach isn't as weird as it was yesterday, but I still feel a tad light-headed. Maybe I have a cold. I so do not want to go to cardio kickboxing tonight. I'd rather stay home and do push-ups and sit-ups. Squats, too. Besides, my workout music is so much better than the stuff they play in cardio kickboxing class. And the regular kickboxing class. By 'regular', I mean the non-cardio class where you actually get to hit people - just not too hard, or you get in deep, deep trouble. I love that class, but I can't go to that class because of the bone graft in my mouth. I can't wait until that fake tooth goes in! I know it takes this long for a reason, but I'm itching to kickbox a human being instead of a bag.

I swept a bit in the living room (I wanted to listen to that Bob Dylan CD I have out of the library, but the stereo wasn't reading it), then I went on the computer to load this morning's photos on the computer from my little camera, then I put them onto Flickr. Actually, I'm going to experiment... one moment, please...





Here are my fingerless gloves. They haven't been sewn yet, as you can see, but I'll get 'round to it.




Here is my kerchief scarf. I think I have enough cotton to make it into a wrap-of-sorts, so I put it onto a circular needle that Mom let me borrow. Thanks, Mom! :)




I took this a few days, maybe a week ago. It's my ruff - with a button! I was going to take a photo of the buttons, but I completely forgot.

And finally...




Mousie resting on my - wait, no, HER - chair. Ain't she cute? :)

Idolmania!

So I watched Canadian Idol tonight. Although I'm pissed that Mark Day got kicked off (I also feel bad for not voting), I still enjoyed tonight's episode. Even though the coaches were Simple Plan, who are not my cup of tea. I thought Bryan Adams was supposed to coach them this week! Maybe it's next week. I tried voting, but I kept getting a busy signal. I'll try again in a bit.

I was actually a bit nervous about phoning in, as I've never done that before, and I'm not keen on using the phone. That's why I never call any of my friends - I feel more comfortable e-mailing them or talking to them on Windows Live Messenger.

I moved my kerchief scarf onto a circular needle, because I've decided to make it into a shawl-of-sorts. Should be fun. I'm itching to make a horizontal scarf, even though my size 9 circular needle is holding a piece of my vest. I'll probably work on the last huge piece tomorrow. I read the last bit of the pattern, and the seaming is a three-needle bind-off, so I'm really happy about that. I love three-needle bind-off! I haven't worked on the baby cardigan in a while, because I've been putting off starting the cuffs (it's knit in one piece). I worked on Justin's scarf while watching Big Brother and not knowing which houseguests are the good guys/girls and the bad guys/girls. I'm getting bored with Big Brother.

America's Got Talent is on tomorrow! Yay!

Here's what I'm working on

The top photo shows the baby cardigan I started. I haven't been working on it, partly because I don't feel like starting the cuffs. It's knit in one piece, you see.

The second photo shows the kerchief scarf I'm working on. It's from a book called Last Minute Knitted Gifts.

I'm also planning on making a scarf for my cousin. Luckily, he doesn't know about my blog, so I can speak freely without him finding out about my cunning plan :)

I also need to knit a pair of socks for myself. I have some Bernat Sox Multi and my Garnstudio Fabel - I might use the Fabel in a pair of Monkeys, but I'm not sure about the Sox. I'd like to make a pair of Monkeys in the Sox, because the colourway is awesome (anyone who's on Ravelry can see the colourway by looking in my stash). But I'd have to swatch.

I haven't been working on my mobius wrap or my vest. I guess I just feel like knitting with cotton.

Oh, and I'd also like to make some washcloths for my friend Holly. I probably won't get them finished before she starts university in the fall, but I could make them after I'm done my kerchief scarf and give them to her for Christmas, or her birthday, which is shortly after Christmas. The scarf for Justin (my cousin) will be either a Christmas present or a birthday present - I'm not sure if I can knit it in time for his birthday, though.

ETA: The photo of the baby cardigan is quite dark - it's actually a much lighter blue!
