Knitting update

Well I just made it to the half way point of the Icelandic shawl. The next thing I need to do is pick up stitches along the cast on edge to do the edge lace. Even though there are many mistakes I think it is turning out very well.




I hope to have the shawl done by the time the Yarn Harlot comes on the 10th of April. I really would like to wear it.


I am also working on a pair of socks for 2-at-a time socks called Sugar Maple.


These socks are taking a bit more time than I am used to for socks but I really like the way they are turning out.

YEAH the quarter is almost over

Well this is the last full week of class. This week Thursday starts finals. For my interpersonal relations class I have to do a presentation on Why I deserve an A in the class. The teacher wants it to be something unique that she has not seen before. I was thinking I could write something up and post it on here but thought no one else would want to read that. So what I have decided to so is have my small group of girls tell why I deserve an A in the class. I will be bringing a video camera to small group tomorrow and will ask them a a couple of question then let them have at it as to why I deserve an A. This should be fun and interesting as I can just imagine what 8 14 years old girls will have to say.

Well I just finished up writing a 4 page paper and emailed it to the instructor (I also had to bring him my flash drive and transfer the paper that way too. Because God knows if I can save to the flash drive and then email it I will not know how to copy and past it to another drive). We are just sitting here now waiting for the few people that have not started their papers and/or are not done to send them to him. Those are the people that only show up when they feel like it and do the work when they feel they want to and get to get full credit for turning them in when ever.
OK enough venting.

I started to work on the Icelandic shawl again. I have made a few market bags and will be making dish clothes soon for the camper. I am excited as after next week I my thursday nights back until the fall. I do not have a class on thursdays next quarter and I do not plan on taking any in the summer.

Tuesday again

Hello All,

I am sitting here in my Tuesday class really trying hard to pay attention and follow along with what he is talking about. I thought I would write a little before I start my research for the 4 page paper I have to write for next week in this class.

Well I finally finished my mittens, they are wonderful. I would say I will post a photo but everytime I say that I do not. I will work on having more photos of my finished work. I think I am going to break out the shawl again as the leggings that I wanted to do I think are going to take to much of my brain to figure out unless one of my wonderful friends at knitting figures out the pattern, yarn and needle requirments for me. I know Alley really would love to have a pair of them. But with school and family I just do not have time to do all the calculations.

As for the SCA, Rick and I are going to go to SUN which looks to be a day of classes. We have decided that we are going to take cooking classes and garb classes for the most part. Rich want to take a period dance class which I think will be great. I just don't know if he will dance with me at events, cuz he does not dance with me any other time. :)

Well back to work I have an assignment I need to get done and only have about 10 minute to do it.
