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.

My thumb's better.

So, my thumb is healing nicely. Which is good, because that means I'll be able to play Final Fantasy VIII sometime soon. I had to start a new file a week or two ago because I got lost on my first file. Yikes.

I went to cardio kickboxing last night, and now I'm aching. It's my own fault, 'cause I haven't been going to cardio kickboxing on a regular basis like I should be.

Also, I started a new short story. It's about ghost hunters. I was so excited when I started writing down the characters names, because I'm so pround of the story idea.

I added a few more books to my GoodReads to-read list. Everyone has been talking about Twilight, so I thought, "Why not? Everyone on Ravelry who's read it loves it, so it can't be bad."

And now I'm craving honey garlic chicken wings. We ordered chicken wings last night, and we got some honey garlic ones. I had three for lunch and I'm hungry again. There's still five left, but I'll leave them for Dad.

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.

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.

Bob Dylan's coming to town!!!!!!!!

I know I probably won't get tickets, but I'm still really happy. I'm also happy because I've entered a draw for Rush tickets and a meet-and-greet on Q107's online listener's club - I've got over 200 ballots on the draw. The only downside is that my friend, who is a Rush fan, might be out of town on the day of the concert.

My mom has suggested that I take a day off knitting, because last night my hands were aching from knitting. Then again, I did work on three projects...

Time for a quick post of anger.

I just had to use two tea bags because someone cut the milk bag too much, so the hole was big, and thus my tea became far too milky. I suspect it was Dad, but I don't know for certain.

The good news, though, is that the library will be adding new items tonight at 6:00! Yay!
