eh....
no pictures today.... sorry.... I haven't really been doing a whole lot of knitting because I have been too busy (no excuse I know). Today was a long and stressful day due to the fact that I am coming up on some deadlines and I'm trying to make sure that I get everything done so I can make those deadlines. Tonight it is finishing all the reading I have to do for my exam tomorrow (it'll be no problem) and also getting my reading done for my East Asian history class tomorrow. The little bit of knitting that I have been able to get done is a single mitten. Knit with homespun on large needles (ok I know that #10s aren't big but bigger and faster than other needle choices). And now I must run and study so I con get a good grade on this test.

This will be a short update due to the fact that it is 1 a.m. and I need some sleep.....
This is the sweater vest... slow but steady progress.... it won't be long before it's done and I will be wearing it to show all
Working on the second sleeve... the sweater is coming along nicely....
Well as I said I am not going to write much... I'm going to bed
Sleep well all

far too long
This my dear friends is what has kept me from this wonderful online adventure...... my school work.... East Asian history at the moment
I finished the straps for the dress (not sewed on the dress yet obviously)
I even made a scarf that I will soon mail off to a friend (it's so pretty.... I have one just like it)
I have started on the sleeves of Katie's sweater (I wanted to stitch them both at the same time but did not have an extra skein of yarn)
A cute sweater vest in progress for the winter
and of course..... the nightgown.... which I have made.... well..... NO progress on at all (it pains me to look at it sometimes) I'll post a picture of what the finished project is SUPPOSE to look like.
Oh yeah.... the rest of the sweater (back and left and right sides done)
Sadly my friend I must go... I have an exam tomorrow and I must prepare and I have a feeling I will be up ALL night tonight... hopefully not... but don't count on it....

it's not what it appears to be
These are projects that are currently in progress (only two... I'm doing pretty good for a person who can't commit to a single project) it's Katie's sweater..... well.... the back and part of the right side of it... I need to buy another skein of yarn for it to continue it...... I should be done with it before long hopefully...
The nightgown...... still slow.... but steady....
This is not a project in progress.... It's ANOTHER finished project..... I FINALLY sewed the buttons on.... it's beautiful and CUTE.... and NO! I do NOT have baby fever...... jerks....

Progress at last
ALL HAIL THE KNITTING GODDESS!!!!! SHE HAS COMPLETED SEVERAL IMPORTANT PROJECTS WITHOUT LETTING THEM SIT ABANDONED FOR YEARS!!!
Yes my friends.... I have completed... not one... but several projects that I had hopped to finish.... For example... the dress. It has been sewn together and I believed it to be done. That is until I tried it on and realized that I am not built to hold it up....
So I am making straps for the dress to help me out (don't want to flash anyone)
I finished the stupid afghan.... for some reason I always start a project like this with high hopes and with excitement.... I always forget how much I loath projects by the end (especially when I have to put everything together). Regardless, I have finished the afghan and it is on it's way to it's new owners
I have also finished a dishcloth set, a set that Angus decided to bless. They have his blessing so everything is well. These will also be soon sent to a new owner (see a theme here?). I shall soon have something new and amazing to add to my own personal collection.
In being a knitter one discovers what KIND of knitter you are.... I am a person who knits simply for the act of knitting. I like to knit just to knit... finishing projects (sewing things together and weaving ends in are a total chore to me)... which brings me to my next point.... I do not want to make another afghan like this for a long LONG time. Simply because it was soooooo much work to make and organize and put together... I just don't think I can make another project like that any time soon. I think I'm going to just stick to things like a sweater and such.
My cousin Julie is expecting so that means that I am obligated to make a baby gift. An AMAZING baby gift at that. I have not yet made up my mind as to what I am goin gto make but I shall work on my ideas.
For now friends I must go. Ben and I are in the middle of watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and I feel I must devote all my attention to the movie.
I shall write soon friends
