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!

Bad News

I ordered Book 5 by JO Sharp last week and found out the website I ordered from is out of stock and won't send it for a week or 2 more! I guess it gives me time to finish my sock, but I was really looking forward to using my Silkroad DK Tweed that I bought a few years ago and lost the pattern to. I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer. :(

The Heel Hath Turned

The heel hath turned and here's the picture. Yea I realized after I took the picture that you can't really see the heel, but give me a day or two and it will probably be finished.

After I find my camera's SD card I'll update my plant pictures.

Back to the old knit and purl...

I've recently been sucked back into the world of knitting by a friend of mine who wanted to learn how. So after teaching her the basics, casting on, knit and purl and starting her off on a ribbed scarf, I went home to search for my old robe I had started but never came close to finishing.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the pattern.

I've ordered a new pattern that uses the same yarn, JO Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed. Its a cute sweater from JO Sharp called Freya.

Well pending the book with the new pattern coming in I started a pair of socks since I had all the tools on hand, no need to spend any money! And here's where I am so far...

And I only started yesterday! My favorite part is that the yarn is self striping, yep that's right self striping, be sure to take another look.

More to come soon on how my plants are fairing and how the heel hath turned.

Spring is Coming

Spring is coming and Beverly and I have decided to plant some tomatoes, zucchini, and beans for harvest season. It should be fun and I'll be updating as the plants begin to grow. Yes, Longitude 59 is still on the back burner, I'm taking 18 hours this semester and I just don't have the time to do extra things, well I mean I guess I have 30 hours a week somewhere to play World of Warcraft, but beyond that I just don't have the time .

Longitude 59 update

So with the start of school Longitude 59 is now a little on the back burner. So far, we have a 2d environment, a player character and a mob (a giant rat). The player character can attack the mob, which in turn the mob will attack back. That's about all we have, I am taking a class in 3d modeling this fall and will continue working on the project when I get a model made.

Longitude 59

I am starting a new programming project with Jo from AlJo Productions (my fiance), called Longitude 59, an MMORPG loosely based on Meridian 59, one of Jo's favorite games. Written Java the project is currently is early development stages and in 2D. Final plans for this project is planned to be in 3D and include 3D modeling done by myself, and the use of Jo's fantabulous networking skills. Will update when progress is made. Looking forward to getting a working game!
