knitting away

I recently found out that my favorite lys (local yarn store), Janet Kemp is closing. I was very sad when I found this out, but was elated that I got to have a discount on the yarn and patterns. I picked up a bunch of old Interweave Knitting magazines. My new project has been Entrelac Socks by Eunny Jang. I am only on my first sock but am very happy with my results thus far. I have been posting all my progress on ravelry.

heroes

After watching all of volumes one and two of Heroes, I can't wait for the third! Especially after I saw the preview with Sylar having his powers back! Should be really exciting. I can't believe I am going to have to wait until September to see more!!!

Heroes is tentatively slated to start production on Season 3 on May 1 — more than two months ahead of schedule. As a result, the show could have as many as 10-13 episodes already in the can by the time it returns in September.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow

I think that tomorrow may be the day that I have been waiting for a whole 10 days for. After being super-impatient and checking my account status on a daily basis, I think that I might get my ravelry invite tomorrow. I can't wait!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

One of my younger cousins grew up watching and loving TMNT. I know what I am going to make him for next Christmas!

On the ride home to Connecticut from the Catskills, we were driving down a mountain. At the top of the mountain were clear blue skies. When we looked down, we realized that we were higher than the clouds were. On the way down the mountain, we litareally had to drive through the clouds.

While on vacation in the Catskills, we came across a Sunflower Farm that looked like it had past its peak of summer. The sunflowers were so sad-looking but at the same time I found them very enchanting and interesting.

One of my friends is turning 40 tomorrow. A few years ago, I bought a boobie cupcake pan and have only tried it once, with a disaster! I think that tonight I am going to give it another try. Hopefully he will appreciate the effort or else they had better come out excellent.

Brandon Walsh

I grew up watching 90210. My friends and I had 90210 parties. We would all crowd around the tv to watch it. When I heard that Jason Priestley was in a new show that took place in Beverly Hills, I knew I had to watch it. Side Order of Life is a new show on Lifetime. I watched the first episode online today and although it is nothing like 90210, I can't wait to watch the next episode.

future project ideas

While on my web search looking for a pattern that might be similar to the pattern that I want, I keep stumbling across patterns that, although look nothing like what I want to make, are really cool and I would want to make them separately. I figured I would put them all down so I don't forget them when I am looking for my next project.



Knitty has a great article thahttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gift I have to go through on how to make your own patterns

I got an email from Abercrombie & Fitch today. Although I still love their clothes (which I did unusual being that I am almost thirty years old), I find that they tend to be a little small on me. I am not obese or anything like that but their clothes are a bit more snug than I would like them to be. I was thinking that I could make this sweater but larger so that it fits me exactly the way that I want it to. I am unsure where to start. I have never tackled such a large project before and have certainly never come up with a pattern idea. Even though I am threatened by the size of this project, I think that I might do it anyway.
