Bible Binary

I started a binary scarf today, based on this. I'm encoding a couple bible verses into the scarf for a personal touch. Pictures to be added soon.

So bored....and a little busy.

It was a boring weekend. I finished a goomba hat last week for my fiance for his birthday, and then, because I don't want to do another goomba hat just yet, I took a little break. I haven't knitted anything since probably Wednesday and that has made life a little boring. It helps that finals start on Thursday, meaning I should be doing plenty of other things, but nothing is quite the same as knitting. :(

Crazy Colorful Socks

Here is the first sock of the colorful crazy sock. I am halfway done with the second sock and can't wait to start wearing them.

I could have sworn that these were going to be some ugly socks, because the yarn was not that pretty, but it was free so I can't complain. But these socks are so cute and I can't wait to make another pair. The 2 skeins of colorful yarn looks like its going to make 4-6 pairs of these socks, so maybe I'll make some as gifts, or try something new. Either way I'm happy I found a way to turn ugly yarn into cute socks.

I hope I can finish the second by the weekend, it really just depends on how much work there is at school. As soon as I get them finished I'll post a picture of them on my feet, where socks belong!

Goomba....BONK!

I finished the goomba hat last night, it took me about 5-6 hours. Ok so first I look like a dork trying to use my webcam and second, its way too small for my fiance which is who it was originally for. So I will be making up my own pattern for a larger better fitting hat for people with larger heads. I think I'm going to go to larger needles and add a few stitches to the cast on, also I think I'm going to add about 20 rows to get it to be a little longer. But first, I got my free sock yarn in and I am going to do some anklet socks.

it's. oh. so quiet
it'a oh. so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...

you fall in love
zing boom
the sky up above
zing boom
is caving in
wow bam
you've never been so nuts about a guy
you wanna laugh you wanna cry
you cross your heart and hope to die

'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot

you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
so what's the use
wow bam
of falling in love

it's. oh. so quiet
it's. oh. so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...

you ring the bell
bim bam
you shout and you yell
hi ho ho
you broke the spell
gee. this is swell you almost have a fit
this guy is "gorge" and i got hit
there's no mistake this is it

'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot

you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
so what's the use
wow bam
of falling in love

the sky caves in
the devil cuts loose
you blow blow blow blow blow your fuse
when you've fallen in love

ssshhhhhh...

2 Hat Ideas

I have 2 ideas for hats one for me and one for my fiance. Let me know what you think, now I know hats like this already exist on the internet, but I made my own pixel version to count out the stitches. So here's a prototype for a kirby beanie and goomba beanie. And I can't get them to upload without it looking blurry, but imagine past the blurriness, if all goes well then I'll post a better picture with the grid and everything.

One sock down, One to go

Here's the finished sock, now one to go. I guess another week on it and it'll be done. Which is perfect timing because then I should be getting in some more yarn!

Good News

I'm getting some free sock yarn thanks to a blogger I found on the knitting web ring. Can't wait till it gets here!
