I've started my Wrist Warmers. I love them, they are knitting up fast and the lace pattern is nice and easy. I think I'm not too far away from finishing my first one. I'm excited. It's good timing cause I can still wear them right now...

Oh yes.. BC... also know as the province that is a HUGE puddle. I look outside and my heart goes *asldkfjwioerhksf* (that's a crushing sound...) I want it to stop raining............ at least I'm not living on 82nd anymore.. or else my basement would probably be flooded right now... *phew*

Well I'm here at my new job.. well it's my new 2nd job, i'm still working at Bronco. I'm job sharing Saturday reception with Becky. This way she doesn't have to work 6 days a week and it gives me more $$ (which I need). It's pretty good. My first day today, it's been pretty slow. I haven't had too many crazy calls.. mostly just other realtors looking for realtors.

I'm excited for tonight cause Kyle, Jordan and I are going to UBC to see Ady. She's in a musical called Crazy for You. I love muscials and Ady is a dope singer.. so YEAH! I'm excited.

So Sean finally got his passport which means we can start planning for our trip to COACHELLA!!!! I'm sooooo freaking excited. we're trying to figure out right now if we want to stay in california after the concert. But what is it that we are visiting, how much it will cost, where we can sleep, how that that will be and how we can get around from city to city. So a lot of researching and budgeting..
we really want to go to LONG BEACH! and of course to San Franscicio... (8) if you're going to San Fran scico... (8) So yeah... lots of PLANNING!

Happy Happy Happy

I'm am super happy right now and there are several reasons.

1. It's sunny and sun makes me happy! (really)

2. My panda swap started today and I got my partner and I am SUPER stoked

3. I got my in-class essay back and I DIDN'T fail!!! I really thought I failed, no exaggeration.. I really thought I failed or I just passed but I actually got a B-. That to some people may not be high but for me it's great!!! To get a B- on an in class essay I think is AWESOME! So I am super happy with myself.

I went to Penny Pincher's today and finally got my 3.25 mm needles! I actually went yesterday and I got there at 3:38 and I was there for maybe about 1 minute and they started saying "We're closing, please take your stuff to the cashier". Apparently they close at 3:45!! I didn't know that, Holly doesn't know that and neither did anyone else in the store! lol It was kind of frustrating since I drove into town just to go there but it's okay.. I got them today:)

So I frogged my top-down raglan. I tired it on last night and it looked fine.. I just didn't like the way the neck was so I decided to just ditch it. I've been struggling so much with that pattern, I realized I have SO many more things I want to make that I can put it off for a while.

I started using another costum top-down raglan pattern. Also, I made a swatch and I actually kept it. I'm going to hopefully make a blanket of all my swatches.. in the future... in the FAR future. But the pattern was a bit confusing and now that I have the needles I need, I think I'm going to start on my wrist warmers.

I found another project I want to make... (people on craftsters need to slllllow down.. they make WAY to many pretty things too fast). its this Cropped Shrug. Cute eh? I normally don't like cut off shirts but I love anything with a hood... i love hoods.. I do not know why...

Goodies

So I went to Chapters the other night... I was hoping to find a copy of the winter issue of Interweave.. it was unsuccessful.. BUT.. they FINALLY had another copy of the SnB Journal. After Steph bought one sometime ago, I knew I wanted it they just never carried it. But when I was there on Friday night they had one copy! YEAH for me!! I love it.
It has sections for designing, what yarns I have, what i want to make, what I have made, measurements, what needles I have and more... I *heart* it!!
I'm a bit worried though cause it's very similar to what I do here and I know I'm not the type of person to write something down twice. But it's okay.. I think I know what I'm going to do with it.

Also every time I go to chapters I look at the bookmarks.. I always look for a panda book mark and they never have one but.. they did on Friday!!!!!! Here it is:
Isn't it the cutest thing in the world??!?!??! I LOVE IT! I saw it, I grabbed and I kissed it. I love snacks..... and pandas!!!

I can't believe that I have no mentioned about my panda shoes yet... Yes, that's right PANDA SHOES!!! They are the cutest things in the world... I love them. I love them so very much. They are like secret pandas, you can't tell there are pandas on there unless you are looking REALLY REALLY close. hehe they are great.

So my panda swap begins in 2 days.. well I suppose I could have started making things around but I wanted to wait and see who I got as a partner and see what it is they wished for.

I added another project to hopefuls, it's the intolerable cruelty, I can't believe I for about about it before cause it's so beautiful. I know.. I don't wear skirts but.. still I want to make it.. lol

Hopefuls

So I finally made a list of things I'm hoping to make.. hence why it's called hopefuls. I just got home from my in-class essay.. which I failed... and to keep my mind off of it I'm going to KNIT!
I don't know how i survived without knitting before... I love it so much.
I saw a my best friend from highschool a few weeks ago and she asked me what I've been up too.. and I said well.. not a whole lot, school, work, you know the same old.. and I was like.. well I knit a lot now.
I love it.
I was going to go and get my taxes done today but I think I'm just going to make my mom take it to her accountant... she doesn't know yet (both my mom and her accountant who is a woman) but it's okay.. always remember the great words or Willy Wonka (played by Johnny Depp *heart*), "The best prize is a SUR-prize" :)

oh p.s. to Holly (I wasn't sure if you would see it if I replied to your comment in the comments) I need 3.25 mm (3US) dpn

Update

It's been a while and not much has changed. I haven't had my time to knit lately because of school homework. I left my photo project until the last minute again so I had to rush and stress about it... I have an inclass essay tomorrow, which I'm really worried about, so no knitting or crafts for me till after Friday. Well realisticly... I should start on my final photo project.. but we all know I'm going to put it off.
My photo project was due today and I got pretty good comments back so I'm super happy about that. My teacher even said I should submit one of them to adbusters and they might publish it in thier maganize.. but I'm not sure cause I haven't made a profilo yet and I'm really doing photography because I really enjoy it. We shall see...

I found a whole lot of new projects I want to make. There are mostly sweaters.. lol I don't even wear sweaters that often.. but maybe once I make them I will! I really need to make a "I want to make list" cause there's so many things I want to make I don't even remember.

I finally got my arm warmer pattern from www.hempforknitting.com. I can't wait to make them.. but I still need to buy the needles for them. I've been meaning to go to penny pinchers but everytime I have time, they are closed. It's okay after tomorrow I will have more time.

But I better go and start notes on my inclass essay.. WISH ME LUCK!

Ahh

So I almost had a heart attack.. It's okay, I'm okay.. it really wasn't that bad... I was just checking out my blog... changing the progress on my projects when I realized that the colours of my blog were very similar to Christmas!!! So immeditely I dropped everything I was doing and changed the colours of my blog!

I don't know if I really like these colours.... I guess I could suck it up and keep it green and red but .. no.. it's my blog.. it's my space.. and out of all people, I know I look at my blog the most... lol So I had to change the colours...

Slippers

Here they are! I'm finally done them and I finally gave them to Holly!!!

All About Me

Yeah! I have just finished.. well I hope I'm finished, Holly's Present. YEAH!!! I just applied some paint to the bottom of them and I hope that will make them non-slippery cause I don't want her falling on her bum bum when she wears them! I'll post pictures of them after I give them to her.

So I am no longer working on any other projects that are for other people anymore. I've decided it's time to work on myself... and it's been almost an year and a half that I've made something for myself.

So now I have many projects going... I have already put them on my ongoing projects list

I am going to make an Top-Down Raglan sweater - i'm also going to knit this in a knitalong on craftster. I'm going to use my purple ecofill yarn! Right now I have to make a swatch.. *damn swatches... damn you Holly.. I hate it when you make sense....* so i'll be doing that first and figuring out the gauge and everything.
I'm also making an homespun hoodie.. it's going to be nice and coooozy! it's also purple.. lol but a lighter purple and it's mixed in with a lot of other colours too
I'm making an double knit star scarf. I LOVE IT!! I'm so excited about it... i saw it on Holly's blog and I HAD to knit it..... I mean how could i not?! I have a arm to match... lol

Andrew made a funny point the other day.. he said I was like Holly's apprentice! and I sort of am!!

I'm hoping to make some socks too but since I'm not suppose to buy any yarn it's hard.. so Jordan said he'll buy yarn for me! yeah *heart Jordan*
