I screwed up

No, really, I did!

I was finishing my second mug cozy, and I forgot to make the buttonhole. I went crazy. Mom was going to send me to my room and ground me from using the internet, I was so upset. But it got fixed. She taught me how to make a crochet loop.

I bound off Justin's scarf, but I haven't completed it yet. It still needs it's ends sewn and the emblem stitched on in duplicate stitch.

And I'm doing an okay job typing without looking at the keys as often. I still have to look down, though, for tougher words.

I might start dishcloths next. Or a hat.

I need a can of pop.

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!

A picture of the scarf for Justin

It's a bit hard to see the colour, but it's dark green.

My first project in the round... and I picked a SCARF!

I started the Josh's Triforce Scarf for my cousin, Justin. It's the first project I've started in the round. I had to have my mom start me off, because not only was I casting on too tightly, but the needle was too long. Yay me. So momma did the first round to start me off because I didn't know much about knitting in the round. The scarf is a tube done of DPNs, but I'm using a circular needle because it's a bit easier to learn knitting in the round on a circular needle.

I'll have pictures soon!

(Oh my goodness... there's an itty-bitty spider on the desk!)
