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? :)

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!

Yarn sale!!!!!!

Pictures 1 and 2: Circus (don't know the company name).

Picture 3: blue Rowanspun.

Picture 4: orange Filtes King Event.

Picture 5: grey Rowanspun.

Pretty awesome, eh? I got five of the blue Rowanspun, four of the grey Rowanspun, one of the blue Circus, two of the black Circus, and eight of the orange Event. I got more yarn, but I can't fit any more photos in this post, and some of the yarn photos I took didn't turn out well, so I'll take new ones and put them and the ones that wouldn't fit here in a new post.

ETA: Unfortunately, I did not win those Rush tickets. Shame.

The hood is off the needles!

It's not a very good photo, but it's the finished project!

I wasn't sure if I'd get it done today, because I sliced my thumb on a can lid. I was opening a couple cans of chili, and one can had a pull-off lid and the other was a standard can that needed to be opened with a can opener. So I got the lid off and was rinsing off the lid that I had to get off the standard can, and I accidentally cut my thumb. It's not that bad a cut, so I just cleaned it and put a knuckle band-aid on it, even though the cut isn't on the knuckle - it's on the pad of my thumb, which means I won't be playing Final Fantasy VIII for a few days.

Anyway, I was worried that the yarn would get caught on this band-aid, so my dad told me that there was two first aid kits downstairs. So, I brought one up and found a fingertip bandage (not Band-Aid brand, just a generic brand), and put it on. I managed to do the three-needle bind-off on my hood, and now it just needs ties! I think I'll use my blue chunky for the ties, because the blue will go well with the grey.

Photo of my hood.

This pattern is such a nice, quick pattern. I love it. I only have an inch or two left, I think, before I have to do the three-needle bind-off. Fun. I've never done that before, so it'll be.... interesting.

In other news, I put the U2 album that I bought at the Streetfest on the computer. War is such a good album. My favourite track off of the album would have to be either 'New Year's Day' or 'Seconds', and 'Two Hearts Beat As One' is also great.

Another post, this time with knitting photos.

I guess this qualifies as 'knitting porn' ;)

The top photo shows my Mobius Wrap. The middle one is the flap of my Party Clutch. The bottom one is the beginning of my Not-So-Bulky Golden Compass Hood.
