So Good!

I was still procrastinating and found these, coolest mittens ever! They are Teen Girl Squad mittens, with The Ugly One and What's Her Face. I applaud her brilliance. I just had to share. And I think I'm going to have to make them very very soon. Too bad it's actually to warm in Toronto this winter to actually wear mittens. Even a coat has been optional lately! Stupid global warming.

But but but....Butt

Procrastination, thy name is Natalie. I have one annotated Bibliography due tomorrow, and another due Wednesday. I can finish one today, I mean I can work on it tonight. It's already quater to 1 and I havent' done any work on it. Well I've done all the research (almost, all I need is two more sources for the one due tomorrow, and I'm not sure if I can find all the necessary information for one of the sources due Wednesday :S ) But I'm not worried. Instead of working today I watched movie trailers and went grocery shopping with Renee. We got back and I did a bit of work, organized my sources and such, and was about to start when I realised it was 6:45 and would have to leave in half an hour to go to my Anatomy Lecture. There was no way I could get any work done in half an hour! And if I did there was no point in starting since I would only get into it and then have to stop. *le sigh* I'm being very stupid about this. After class I went to the Residence Activity Council meeting, and when I got back I made posters for some events coming up. The one for the Thursday Throw-back High School Dance is super cool. I'll scan it and show it to you tomorrow. So that was my day.
That and dead cats in the morning. For some unknown reason my TA was discussing how when she was an undergrad she would practice disections on the turkey before Christmas and Thanksgiving, which proceeded to exactly which pieces of the half disected cat would be the ones that you would eat. Only you wouldn't want to eat the disected cats since they are pumped full of formaldahyde and would probably kill you. and ewww.
Sitting here bloging to the void of the internet is not helping my current situation. Blast. Must work!

I'm a princess!


The Noble Princess

You are just and fair, a perfectionist with a

strong sense of proper decorum. You are very

attracted to chivalry, ceremony and dignity.

For the most part you are rather sensible,

but you are also very idealistic.

Role Models: Guinevere, Princess Fiona (of Shrek)

You are most likely to: Get kidnapped by a stray

dragon.

Heehee, More Pictures!

I like having a digital camera! Fun fun fun! To bad it's not mine.

You can see here Trevor's yarn choices, note the tiny amount of navy, and not much more red.


Me posing in the mirror with Gir, severe crappyness here.


This is Gir enjoying a bit of January sunshine in my window, with my green fairy wings. I tried to pose him sitting up, but he has minus amounts of strength in his neck and just flopps over.



Sara's Hobo Mitts Lite. Aren't they sweeeeeet?


I think my computer makes a good place to pose all my knitting, I'm sure Ella won't mind. Yes, I named my computer. Got a problemo?

Hobo Mitts! Fini!

I have just enough time to post before running off to my first class in a (very) long day.
I finished my previous WIP, Josh's Hobo mitts are done and delivered. It took me less than 24 hours to make them, which I think is pretty impressive. I also finished the second of Sara's Stripey Hobo Mitts, so as soon as I can give them to my mom, they will be on the way to her. I like to call them Hobo Mitts Lite, since they are much shorter in the wrist than I normally make them, but I like it. They kick butt. If I can remember tonight, I'll post a picture. I'd been promising Trevor some Hobo mitts for a few months, but never got around to making them, so last night when he was in my room I got him to pick. He decided on red, navy and two stripes of an odd coffee colour that has dark brown stripes in it. It sounds wierd, but isn't in reality. Maybe a picture of that too. It's high time I made my amazing boyfriend some. Somehow I don't think a knitted Gir is terribly practical.
I'm thinking I may have to go and buy large quantity's of Romni's supply of Portofino since it's all in the sale room and I have no idea where else to get it. It's all I make the Hobo mitts out of and if I can't get anymore, what will I do? I need more red an navy anyways to finish Trevor's Mitts.

Sometimes the void in my head is just to many things clamouring for my attention.

Now to class.

Finally, Pictures!

I finally got my act together and borrowed a camera. Here are some very overdue pictures.




<------My current main WIP: Black and Navy Blue Hobo Mits for Josh.






My stash. This is only one side of the container. It sits under my bed to that it all the yarn everywhere won't annoy my roomate as it has a tendency to spill everywhere. Under bed storage I love you!

Two scarves I've knit this year already. The dark blue one is the Dark Blue Holey Scarf, the other matches the Squiggley hat. The Dark Blue one now also has a gold and silver fringe as well.

The blue thing at the bottom is the Branching Out lace scarf from knitty.com. It needs to be ripped back a few repeats, I stoped paying attention at one point and now everything is off. Must discover how to do this picture thing better.

Knitting Olympic Dreams

I will be joining the 2006 Knitting Olympics. From what I can tell, this new Knit-A-Long (it is a knit-a-long isn't it... knit along with the olympics...) is quickly taking over knitting-blogland. Very quickly. But that is because it is sheer brilliance. I have decided to make the Hardcore cardigan from knitty.com. I almost picked the aforementioned pirate hat, but thought that I would most certainly be able to finish it in time and that it wouldn't be enough of a challenge. What can I say, I'm crazy. To make me even more insane is that I'm going to have to completely re-do everything about it, even the intarsia on the back I think. It's a million times to big for me since it is a guys sweater and is supposed to be hip hop-ey, which is not my style at all. I'm going to have to just make the image smaller. Maybe I could find a sweater pattern that does fit and then just put the intarsia in the back. That sounds easier since I've only knit one cardigan so far... I'll have to look into this. I looked at the yarn needed, expecting it to amount to about 20 balls of something fairly expensive, but the massive version only calls for 3 balls for the smallest version and it's about 5$ a ball at one online store. SCORE! The only thing is that I'll need to ship it to my dad's hotel where ever he goes to in the states next since I don't think that the site ships to Canada. Damn. Luckily there is definentaly enough time to get it there and to start swatching before the Olympics. Natalie wins in every possible way. Huzzah! Renee is going to re-knit her kitty hat. She had to frog it since it turned out to be about 6 times to big for her and looked like it was eating her head when she put it on. I'll have to write her a revised pattern for her to read, yay math! I should really get a tape measure for my knitting kit. I'll pick one up the next time I hit Romni's. Actually I think they have really cute cheap ones at Chapters/Indigo. I know the same ones are 8$ at Romni's, which is the equivelant of at least one ball of yarn. I might just have to yoink one of the paper ones from Ikea. But that would mean a trip to Ikea. Oh well, I'll ask my mom if she has a spare.
