Nothing much to report.

I'm bored.

For the moment, anyway. Now that I'm (mostly) done with my scarf - YAY ME!!! - I don't know what to do with myself. I very much want to start socks, but I'll have to wait until April & Mica are up...which will be in a couple weeks! Hooray! But my sis doesn't know how to knit socks.

Their visit is going to be such fun! Just think, guys: we can watch Craig together, and we'll actually be in the same house while we do! Squee! Hey, maybe while you're up here, April, you can help me out. Remember that problem I had with episode 6? Well, it happened with ep's 7 & 8, too. Arrrgh! My computer apparently has issues. Grr.

Mentally stable? HA!

The Five Factor Personality Test

Out with the old, in with the new.

I've decided to frog my scarf.

A painful decision, but the more I worked on it, the more I disliked how it was turning out. It was too wide and I didn't like the stitch I used. On the bright side, though, I started a new one! Yay me! This one is ribbed instead of plain old stockinette stitch, and looks much better. It's a solid color, like a moss green, which I love. I'm about 1/4 done now, and I like this one soooo much better! Feel free to rejoice with me.

My family is shocked and stunned that I enjoy knitting so much, because it's completely unlike me. But, here I am! Still buying more yarn and more needles and more...stuff. I bought circular needles the other day so I can make socks out of this really cool multicolor yarn I bought. Can't wait to get started on that!

Oh! And I actually have a knitting basket now! My mother bought it at a garage sale, and it's pretty cool looking. Especially with all my yarn and my needles sitting in it! ;) I feel like a "real" knitter now. Kinda. Okay, maybe not so much. I am young and have much to learn before I become a true Jedi-Knitter...

OW!

Every muscle in my body hurts.

And thanks to my sunburn, I look like the mascot for Red Lobster.

Other than that, I'm just peachy! Actually, I had lots of fun this weekend. I went to a KH build in Bemidji. You can find it on a map, easier than my hometown anyway. So much fun! But for Thursday and Friday they had me on the roof putting plywood sheeting in, and later, helping feed shingles. And of course it was about 95 degrees each day, and I'd forgotten sunscreen. Hence, the Red Lobster reject look that is so *in* this year! =P Anyway, on Saturday and Sunday I did base tiling in the foyer and bathroom areas, which was quite fun! I used up two disposable cameras that weekend, and have many great stories! Which I don't feel like putting up right now...maybe later.

Knitting news: I came to a brief standstill on my scarf project due to a KNOT IN THE YARN! I need to get more of the yarn anyway, so it's really not THAT big of a deal, but it is kinda frustrating. On a similar note, though, does anyone have a good sock pattern for a humble beginner like moi? I need circular needles for socks, right?
