tv?

this is my irish hiking scarf. i have only worked on it about two times. today at knitting (at my local library) i worked on it for almost two hours straight. yellow is my new favorite color!

so apparently i like to do reviews on television shows. one of my favorite shows is army wives on lifetime. it is SOOOOOOOOOOO good. i dont really know how to explain it but i just recommend you watch it.

not much

school has been out for awhile.

but i havent been doing much knitting. i did however start the Irish Hiking Scarf. in like a bright yellow yarn. i hope it turns out cute.

i have been listening to kniiting podcasts. this isnt a new development but i have a point...lol. the two i listen two the most are Belle of the Ball and Knit Naturally. Their voices are soothing in some sort. The ONLY thing i don't like about some podcasts is that they play music. i dont mind when they play thee musis at the end so much. but at the beginning and in the middle and at the end..it gets...i dont want to say annoying...but yea. i'm sure the music is good and if i was knitting it probably wouldnt be so bad..but i usually listen while i am trying to get to sleep.

ok so on to another subject.

right now i am watching tv. the show is called "Chain Gang Girls" on WE. its about 15 women in a chain gang. these women are the only women in a chain gang. i tihnk it is a good show. it shows the realization of what can happen if you dont do something good with your life. some of these people, though, just dont get it. i have already watched an hour of it and some of them are ridiculous. if you see it on sometime, you should defiantely attempt to watch it.

ok...thats about it.

um.......

i don't really have blogging to blog about....

i haven't been knitting

and i am super exhausted from band and work...

so sorry for inconviencing anyone and butchering the spellong of that word.

CHICAGO!!!!!!!!

is the most amazing place on earth.

i think everyone should visit it.

i do not think i will be visiting any knitting stores though. i wish i could. my parents have this whole thing about not letting me do anything about knitting.

right now i am sitting in border's in chicago. by myself while my parents are at a cub's game. i got to go to one yesterday. we are staying in a condo that a friend let us use. we don't get internet access there so my mom said i could go to this tea place a few blocks from the condo. i got a drink and sat down. wi-fi costs money there. so i went to border's because i thought it was free. it isn't free here either. so my mom gave me the credit card number and i got a 60 minute pass.

i am so excited that my parents let me do this. most kids would have to stay in the hotel or something. but no...i get to walk around by myself. ok i think i got everything out.

happy knitting!!

17 days!

i haven't really been knitting a lot lately. idk why. lots of friend problems. but that means i should be knitting to relieve stress. i want to knit, but i don't really have time to. ug. and plus i haven't found the right thing to make. i need to start working on christmas knitting. i have lots of things to make.

so hm...for me...school gets out for me in like 17 days. i am super psyched!! i think i spelled that wrong. and band starts soon!! i can't wait to be an upperclassman!! WOOOOOOOH HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

knitting is good and you should go do some!

hm...

so i haven't posted in a while. but i am not sure what to talk about. not much knitting has been going on. i finished the picot edge on lorna's laces one hank socks on black dog designs blog.

in english ten honors we are reading jane eyre by charlotte bronte. i have had a horrible time of comprehending it. today it dawned on me that maybe, just maybe, they would have the book on recording. i have downloaded a few books from Librivox.org and they have been good. so i figured jane eyre was old enough to be on there. and luckily it was. for the weekend my teacher had given us more than 80 pages to read. i have downloaded the Librivox recorded Jane Eyre and am half way through chapter 22 (we have to "read" through 23. i'll be able to finish the 23rd chapter by the time i go to english. i wonder if it is wrong that i downloaded the recorded version...any opinions? i hope i am no a horrible person.

the froggy days of spring break

it's sad really. it is already thursday night. to some kids this would be a good thing. but for me it is horrible really. tomorrow (friday march 28, 2008)is the last day of spring break. this week went so fast. how come all good things end so fast? last week was great because my parents were out of town and i was able to spend the entire week with one of my best friends. it was so fun. a lot of late nights and early mornings. and this week is spring break. i think this has gone by faster than the speed of light. at least i'm pretty sure that is fast...:)

on to the knitting content of this knitting blog. so i frogged the "back to basics" socks from knitty. i read the pattern COMPLETELY wrong. i'm pretty sure they would've turned out really nice though. they are a toe up sock. the toe increase made the toe look more square. you should go check it out. so i decided to start the Lorna's Laces One Hank Socks. both of these patterns are on ravelry. the lorna's laces socks are top down. i have yet to finish a pair or even one top down sock/s. the yarn the original pair was done is it SO pretty. i have literally only knit 3 rows of this sock. once i get more done, which will hopefully be by tomorrow evening, i will post pictures on this blog and ravelry.

does anyone live in the mid-eastish of this country? did anyone see the crap they call weather tonight? it started out by raining all day. then around four it began snowing. oh no! this was no ordinary snow. this snow was the size of my head. ok, so maybe it was a tad smaller but still, it was gigantic! then it stopped. this made me happy. but to my surprise, it started snowing AGAIN!!! it has been snowing ever since. it has been snowing for about four hours. (how come four and hour don't rhyme? ) the roads and every driveway are covered. and i am pretty sure it has been raining on top of that. i may have pictures tomorrow.

well i hope everyone has had or does have a pleasant spring break.
