Fall?

Yeah, does anyone think it's fall yet? I mean, my mother said the high was going to be 81, so me, I dressed for like summer- and I was FREZZIN'!! So then as I shiver my way from third period to fourth, I feel the sun :). Now as the day goes on I am getting warmer- and it feels springy now. Because it feels so spring-y it doesn't make me think to hurry on my holiday knitting until.... I looked in my new Knit.1 magezine and saw that at like Nov.2 or something, it says only 40 days until X-mas morning! So I panicked. :0 I have offically finished the blue/sliver hmm hmm... and now working on the lengthwise browns scarf. I must say that knitting lengthwise is exciting. I keep holding it up to see what it looks like and if I did a good length. The pattern I have created is turning out ok too. I pictured it a little different, but I only have so much yarn.. :) Well, when I finished the Grown-up bonnet- did I mention that? well, if you want to go and see it- just go up to Bloomin' Yarns and look ask for the lush item just knitted for the shop :) lol. But, after I finished the Grown-up bonnet, I got lots of yarn for the Y.G. boys hats. 3 different colors- gray- blue- and blue/gray mixture- all of the cascade 220. I think those are my favorite- mostly cuz they are nice and colorful, but also because I like making hats and scarves that match and those are perfect for it. I have also picked up quiet a challenge project. A shawl that just keeps increasing and increasing. The yarn for the pattern is just soo pretty, the color I love! And it is a nice feeling yarn too. I'm making it for my cousin- she likes purple and I think a fellow knitter will appreciate the work I put into it.

Well, with school and musical and work.... hmmm.... school 1st, tomorrow is mole day. How exciting is that??? They want us to wake up at like 4 to get there by 5:30 and celebrate at 6:02. cuz the equation of the day is like 6.02 x 10 to the 23rd power. Well, I am NOT waking up that early- I'm just gunna wear the t-shirt and make a cookie cake. :) For musical- not much is happening for me... I'm an adult and basically I just sing kids... It kind of feels like a combo of Hello Dolly/ Wonderful Town to me. A nice production but no fun unless you have a part. Then work- I have the both weekend days again. I don't like when that happens. I mean I already have to wake up early on weekends as well as weekdays, so making me work until 10:30 is just a little tiring. ... At least I get paid :) til next time ;) <<33

no camera yet... just blue books

blue books- yup. If you are a Junior in High School, apparently all your life is is writing these blue books and their outlines. I mean, honestly- we do have lives, and it would be a lot less stressful if they just gave us a finale instead of making us write 4 outlines, memorize them and only write one, in one hour. Does anyone find the base of this just exhausting and feeling like you should be taking notes?? Well, you probably should be, anything I say can and will be used as evidence in your outlines. Don't forget, you must make 2- one for me and one for you. Again, too much to handle? Too bad, so sad- you have to deal with it along with your lab days and your Chem teacher who gives a test on the same day. Yup- every teacher believes that you are only taking that class and that you only devote your time to that class. Well guess what crazy ladies! WE DON'T!! AHHH!!!!!

OK- now that I have ranted out the gist of this year to come, on to my knitting!! :) I have almost finished that adorable Grown-Up Bonnet Scarf thing ma-gig.. lol, I just want to go in to the shop and have them tell me how they want me to sew it. I have a pretty advanced sewing machine- thanks aunt Lynn!! <<33 - so I do have options for them. I have also been busily working on my mothers... hmm hmm... lol and just little things like the baby hat- all finished- and the other blue hat- finished in math class one Friday... I'm almost done with my skinny little pink scarf from the lion wool- <<33. OHHH~ IF ANYONE HAS ANY PURPLE FANCY FUR- ANY EXTRA OR SEES ANY IN A STORE- PLZ LET ME KNOW ASAP and maybe, May I Have It?!?? I'm always kind and you may get cookies or brownies for your kind doing. :) Thank you very much- now I must be getting back to my CRAzY blue Book Outlines

La la la la**

Yes, that's right- singing auditions are tomorrow. Didn't do that well on the dance auditions, so I hope the singing goes a little better. Alivia, the choreographer, knows I can dance, I just need time to practice it. The acting went well- I thought. Oh yeah, by the way, I'M IN A FIGHT CLUB MOVIE!! My name is Angelina Hamilton, and my line is "Ew." Is anyone super stoked? I get a dvd and everything when it's done! One thing is, I don't know when I'm supposed to go back.. haha- well, til then I'll be dancing and working on stupid blue books, while busing tables. Sounds fun right?? Well guess what makes it very fun- I'm knitting in between those. Yeah, that's about the only relaxing time I get now a days. So my 2 hours of lunch tomorrow will include a 20 minute knitting session, 20 minute singing and memorizing intensive session, with 20 minute eating, then and hour of teaching Emily a dance so she can do well on her audition. Someone has to do well- and I like teaching dances, so it'll be fun. While at rehearsal, I will ask a certain someone to go to my Homecoming with!! Yeah, no one asked me -gasp- so I will ask someone I know I'll have fun with. So, that's another fun/kind of relaxing night... Well, I'll have fun. OH! Sorry I missed tonight- had the Homecoming game- I still don't know if we won cuz when I left, it was tied... Do they go into overtime?? OH, and the PENS lost!!!???? WTF!? sorry, but we are a good team! There's no reason that they should've lost. (I didn't watch, but I know how we play, and we should be able to win games) So, now that I have gotten everything covered, I will go enjoy the next half hour of knitting then try to get some sleep. AND! finally, I might get a digital camera next Thursday! YAY!

About a Year, but Still a Learning Grasshopper :)

Well, I am super busy with school, dance/musical, and work. Sometimes it's overwhelming. But at the times that I don't have things to do, I get really bored. Like now- I have caught up on all my e-mail's and blog reading and actually eating a meal! But still, I like being on the go a little more. School is good- I'm still doing well- I hate my history teacher though. Her name rhymes with a bad word and for a good reason! I know that is really harsh, but you haven't had her, you'd know if you did. I have also been working on the Homecoming banner for the Junior Class of '09 (my class of course) and I must say that it looks BEAUTIFUL! I but the i's dot as 09 and then put sparkles around it!! Omg, you'll just have to wait and see- once I get a battery for my camera. That's what we've decided because it's easier to spend $20 instead of $200. That means that there is still hope of pictures in my blog! And not all text... We'll see. Dance is fun, hard work, but still enjoyable. There's one teacher that isn't that great, she's new this year, but I've switched out of that class for a more challenging one anyway. But might go to the more more challenging one. I have dance every Saturday and for the first two hours, I get to help teach the little ones! They are so cute and I honestly am thinking of becoming a dance teacher because I enjoy that soo much. And last but not least {not least cuz I get money from this one :) } , Work~ it's hard to work a night with a 25 year old busser! Yea- you saw right- a 25 year old buss bo--- man?! I honestly don't know how to label him. He doesn't do much and doesn't know how to do much of what he does do. So on Wednesday night, I got to work 2 1/2 rooms instead of 1 1/2. Well, I guess that's why I get to train my friend, who everyone will call Cat because she hates it and I told them all that! I'm sometimes mean! ;) But honestly, I like my job- not one that I want to keep forever, but it's not one of those offal jobs you hear teens having these days. I get free food- no tips :'( - and minimum wage. That's a pretty good deal if you ask other peps. They get tips but their pay/hr is like 5.15 or something! I get a little more then that, but honestly I dont' know if I'm alloud to say it to the world, so I just get more than 5.15.... :)

Onto knitting news.... Well the forcast in MTL is calling for hats, yes hats everywhere, a baby hat, a blue hat, an animal crackers hat from the Harry Potter Movies worn by Ron Wesley, yes the forcast looks to be full of hats, but wait, what's that? Oh yes, I see a sweater in there, a very nice blue eyelet cardigan that is cropped, yes yes. Very good, oh and one more project- the store's Grown-Up Bonnet made with the Blue Sky Alpaca WorstedWeight. SOOO soft!!

lol :) I hope you liked my Knitting Sports News. :) I enjoyed that. And yeah, I do realize that that is 2 sentences... 0:)

Not sure yet if I can make it to one of the next Knitting nights, but I will try, as I always do! <<33!!!!

AH!!!! Forgot to mention the reason of the title! I am knitting the Grown Up Bonnet and here's what it says.... "(WS) Work even in St st for 5 rows, beginning with a purl row. Change to larger needle and work even until Gusset measures 7" from the beginning, ending with a WS row."
Now, can anyone tell me which row should be next in line??? And how to do "Row 1: (RS) Skp, knit to last 2 sts, k2tog- 24 sts remain."

Thank YOU!!!!! :)

And the Winner is~~>.>~~>..?!?

...... CELTIC QUEEN!!!! She didn't win with the fashion show according to her blog- but she has won the knowledge of a black cow. I do not put the chocolate syrup in, but that would be quite interesting. I will make brownies or something- not sure yet, but some treat- cuz.... I'm actually coming to FRIDAY NIGHT KNITTING!!! I requested the night off actually :) hehe- But that's ok- I've worked the Friday's there for like a month- so not cool. We have bowlers now... What are bowlers you ask- they are the group of ranging from a party of 20 to 30 some people- All elders. But they do eat quick- but they never have a constant time of coming in either. Well, enough about them, back to my exciting knitting life!! I finished my Pens Scarf!!! It is super cute and super warm! I will show this baby off at Friday night knit night; along with the baby hat I made a while back for my ballet teacher, she had the baby- it's a boy- and I have a picture of him in it!!! I'm bringing it to show off! I've never had a picture of my knitting from someone else! It's such a neat feeling, and I just want to scream, LOOK!! I MADE THAT!! LOOKY!! :) Well, I am working on another one, just for fun- I'll probably have someone to give it to during the Clevland Christmas visit- I think a few ladies out there are pregnet- well, they get a beautiful knited baby hat :) I also have other things that I am working on randomly, but so much is packed into my scedule now with school-dance-work-homework-sleep-showering-laundry. It's just hard to keep up sometimes. Well, as you can tell, it's late- I must go- and CONGRATS TO CQ!!! <<33 Nighty-night :)

omg, Black Cow?!

Well, the omg is oh my gosh (God)- whichever floats your boat, and the Black Cow?!?? No one at work knows what it means, I would like to see if you all know it. I need input on what you think you know. Back to omg- it's junior year and so far pretty easy. Knock on wood* My Spanish teacher is the coolest, I must say, and my History teacher, just sucks. She hates me already. I have a 100% in the class, but she hates me because... Because.... Because I knit during the parts of class she shows movies!! I hate her.... Ok, that is kind of strong, but- think about it; it's a movie, there's enough light, I stay focused- what's the problem?! I was called after class like I was in second grade and tried to kick little Tom when he cut me at the water fountain. She said that knitting is like texting and that she has to think about it, and you know what she said- it's possible to get a detention for knitting in class! Have you ever heard of that? My English teacher is nice, she says, oh- you knit Carly, that's so neat, you must show us when you're all done, but noooo- this witch wants to give me detention for it! You know what this means,? NO x-mas gift for you little lady.

Ok- done ranting. Onto my knitting projects. First, my sweater is going very well so far, almost the 3inches of ribbing is done. :) Yes, I'm taking it very slow. Oh and my b-e-a-U-tiful PENS scarf is just lovely. So long and luscious with all it's blue sky alpaca wool that makes it so wondrous. . . Sorry, just dreaming about pretty yarns. :) Well, I'm looking forward to the Steeler socks for ... someone- I hopefully will be at knitting on Thursday night because I don't have work. And I am trying very hard to get the next Friday night knit night back so I don't have to work. By the way- have I mentioned that the Bowling & Paddlers that belong to the Club, are extremely annoying. They got a table of 12 and another of 8, then they switched a bunch of chairs in and out and added more people. They come in whenever they want and they are just so annoying, and I never want to work that night again. But guess what~ they come every Friday now until the end of April. I'm in for a whole lot of crap from the Bowlers.

In other news- Musical has started. We are doing Bye Bye Birdie, and I hope that everyone will clear the flowing dates: January 31, February 1 & 2 ; off for this event on their calenders. Thank you very much. I must do some research on the play because I really want a part and the auditions seem scary. But I really want a part.

While I go do my research on Bye Bye Birdie- you do some of you flashbacks, NO CHEATING ON THE INTERNET- to find out what a Black Cow is.... Good Luck! :)

EEK!

I don't know if I can go to Friday Knit Night, I might have to work- School starts next Monday- a week from now- and I want to paint my room, go back to school shopping and everything else! AH! Why so much to be down in such a short amount of time?! OH!!! I finished my sock today!!! Michelle helped me and it is displayed in the loverly Bloomin' Yarns- The Corn Maze yarn. I am also very red from a shoot I worked on Saturday (taking pictures of little football players and their little cheerleaders), and I am red. When I go to work I wear a white shirt and it's bad, cuz the table clothes are white too and when I put my hand next to all that white, I look like a lobster trying to take empty plates away. I don't think they realize it though because they really ignore all the buss kids, they just let us take it away unless they don't eat for 10 minutes then we ask then they finally start to eat when we come over and we look stupid. Well- I have lots of storys.... Ok, there was this one guy on the patio- he was telling the fellow members about his plane trip this one time. He was complaining and complaining about it- then we finally heard him say 'I can't believe I had to ride coach.' It's just so sad that you had to live like the rest of us isn't it? The whole world should crazy down and revolve around you. Just bad. Well, as knitting projects go- I have bought my Pens scarf yarn and I would like to see what the stitches you are describing look like but again, I don't know if I'm coming Friday, we usually get out late on weekend nights. Can you believe I have to work the NIGHT BEFORE school starts! I don't want to go back, I like sleeping in. :) Well, Sandcastle tomorrow with Youth Group, hope and pray it doesn't storm- <<33 laters!
