BYE BYE BIRDIE

Ok, Bye Bye Birdie is a musical- the Center for Theater Arts is performing it on Jan. 31, Feb. 1 & 2. All shows start at 8 p.m. and an afternoon showing Saturday at 1 p.m. There is also a PREVIEW showing on January 30. The show is going to be at Mt. Lebanon High School's little theater(the one with all the glass around it) and if you have any further questions- please feel free to ask. :)

Oh, and by the way- I'll be knitting back stage- and I have a ball of yarn as my weapon in the number Kids Reprise :)

Start-itis, wait... WHAT?!

Yes, I have start-itis...

BUT I CAN'T FIND THE PATTERN FOR IT!!! AHHH!!!

I want to start the shawl- and the socks for myself.

I don't have needles to do two socks at the same time- and I can't find the pattern for the shawl- this stinks! So I have to hurry up and finish my current projects- to finally start these, and have needles, and HOPEFULLY find that missing pattern... it's a MIA PATTERN- EVERYONE ON THE LOOK-OUT!! haha, thank you and good-night <3

Better, and Pumped :)

I have finished my baby hat!!! :D It is sooo cute. I put a little icord at the top and it just makes the hat! I finished it a the store-- Bloomin Yarns... Yes I put that link there for you~~ And I would LOVE to put a picture- but still no camera. I get my pay-check tomorrow and I think I will actually go and get it, cash it, and get a camera just to take a picture of this ADORABLE HAT!!! Finishing a project always makes me want to go finish another. I think it might be a while until my sweater will be finished but that's the next big one.

Another thing that lifts my spirits a little is the pretty new background I have put up.
It's a picture of Greece and I soooo want to go there.. JUST LOOK HOW PRETTY!!

So there we go- it's a little bit of color to brighten my day. Have a good one <<33 :)

Roar with a smile :)

Hey-
Well, I'm just going to admit that it is no fun to blog without pictures. Not having a camera that works, just sucks. So, my next two paychecks will go into a little fund- maybe it won't take two paychecks, but we'll see what I can do. I just don't feel the same while blogging with no evidence to show my progress. That might be why I have kind of been slowing up on all my knitting. Don't think I'm not addicted anymore, I still am- I just haven't been feeling anyone can see my work... It's good to show it off. Haha- I love having show & tell at knit nights- it's where my work is most appriecated and seen. I do get compliments from people who have recieved and are getting good use out of it, but I just like to look back and see how I got there. Yeah- so ROAR to not having a camera- more like a GRRR.. haha, hopefully color will be seen soon :)

So- in knitting news-- not like you can see it!! Ugh, I am getting farther on my socks. Almost half-way done with the foot. I'm also working on my sweater a littler here and there in rehearsals, along with a scarf and the baby hat for my english teacher.

That's all- no pictures.. :( Now I go back to knitting &/or studying for finals... Which are tomorrow... EEK!!

* * * 2008 ~ ~

Happy New Year everyone!!

I'm going to start it off by trying to make more time for fun... We'll just see how it works out ;)

Well- I have to go back to school tomorrow. I just don't want to. It brings so much stress!! Once I'm in college, all that stress will be gone, because I'll be there! And I won't have the icky stretches of all these tests and papers, etc, that will help me get there~~because I'll be there! I just want it all to be done with. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. I'm just happy it's a short week.

KNITTING NEWS!!!
I got 2 new projects from Bloomin's! The first is a baby blanket with Blue Sky Alpaca Organic Cotten yarn, called the Eyelet Baby Blanket-- you may view it here~~ LINK! The one in the picture is knit in the Worseted Weight and in a different color. The color I have is called sand. I have made something out of this coton before! Yes, the two-toned hat. You can find the link for that one yourself! Haha~~ But I like working with it a lot better a second time. The second project from Bloomin's is another square. This one has a ribbed patteren to it. So once I start it.. It should breeze by. Hopefully as quickly as the baby blanket has been going. I started it on Saturday night after work, and might have worked on it Sunday and Monday, but today was when it really got some damage. I got to watch the PENS OUTDOOR GAME!!! The best hockey game I've ever watched by far. And since I haven't been able to watch most of the games because of this that and the other, I TOTALLY enjoyed just sitting there watching the game while knitting this baby blanket. Anyway, you need to mark this site as a favorite- because the PENS are amazing, and you need to stay updated. GO PENS!! Knitting for me now.. I am going to make that sweater for myself! Yes I am. Here is what it will look like, but blue- link~ I have started it, and proud of what is done so far. Yet I am stuck on one thing. Is SKO- slip knit pass the slip st over the knit??? Please help- I have rotted my brain and my books and searched the internet, but all they had was SKPO or SKP or something like that, but never a SKO. But my conclusion was the slip knit, pass the slip st over the knit. If you have the answer to this boggling question, I can proceed with my sweater. Haha. Until then, I will work on the baby blanket, and the baby hat for my English teacher. It's out of this really pretty green new baby yarn that Bloomin's got a little bit ago. And believe it or not. I'm actually not finished with the Christmas knitting. I did give most of the hats away, but turns out I counted wrong! So I need to wip out a few more. I actually finished one the day I gave them the hats, but not everyone was there.. That made me realize that I had miscounted. Go figure. Well, I have lots of knitting to do- and it excites me. OH~ I can't forget my uncle's STEELERS socks. I have successfully turned the heel! WOOOO!!! But now I am decreasing to get back to the normal number of sts. Then I will have to knit for probably 8 inches or so. Then do the toe decreases.

Now that I really look at this, this is a hell of a lot of knitting... Yet I want to knit more!!! I think this is an addiction.... Nah! All I need is more room for yarn! ;) haha~~

Well, I actually have to go to bed cuz I have school. Let's take a moment and do a sad face for this eeky idea.

good sad face :(

NIGHT!!!!!! and have a good 2008 <<33
