saudje!

I'm done! I'm a college graduate. Now I need to find a job. But I'm going to take a break for a week or so just to rest. Then I'll start the mad job hunt.

Drank last night. Had fun. Stayed out all night. I feel liberated. I feel like I've grown up. I feel amazing.

on knitting news. Boobholder is done. and I started Mosey from the spring knitty. they're awesome. I'm going to need some more of the cascade though, which might be a problem... I'm not sure how much of it my LYS has. but I already love my legwarmers. Never though I'd ever say that. but srsly, I've got an awesome skirt that they'd look great with. And hopefully *crosses fingers* mom and dad find me a pair of converse high tops while they're down in the states. Otherwise I'll be wearing my airwalks with them. I've also got one cottage sock done. I dont like them though. They're probably end up getting frogged. Also, I've got one and one third of the basic ribbed sock done in the Monkeypal I got from etsy.

I would have better pictures, but I just fought with my camera, and alas the camera won. well, more so died. I may go out tomorrow and try to find myself a decent camera. The one I had sucked anyways. So these pictures are from my cell cam. terrible, I know, but better than nothing. :)

theres a light!

I see it. I see the light. It's down there at the end of the tunnel! I can see it! Now lets hope that it's not a freight train.

I'm so close to being done school, so close. I graduate...on Thursday. I'm excited and stressed all at the same time. it's not doing good things for my back. I'm in such pain. ridiculous pain. and I don't have my Tylenol 3 or ibuprofen here with me at school. :( *weep*

But knitting news! I started and finished the boobholder in Cascade heathers in a deep greeny colorway, pictures forthcoming. I also finished a Cottage Sock from Lion brand in Twilley's of Stamford Freedom in a lollipop colorway, with baby blue toes, heels and the rib at the cuff. im not sure if i like them or not.

short update, im going home now, pain is unreal.

boredom

so im bored with this site. it totally reeks of Gimp. but now ive got photoshop, i need to do up something better. and soon, or else i will throw something at something. but i rarely have the time to sit down and do something like that. maybe thats what i'll do in my photoshop class at school, considering i have like 7 business cards, and we only needed 3. that sounds like a plan. :)

Oh right. Executive Producer of the Lime & Violet podcast. Totally rocks my hand knit socks. :D im excited. I just finished editing an episode, and it's uploading now. yay!

and just for some added fun, here's a couple business cards. leave a comment here, or on ravelry, or on the L&V boards, tell me which you like. :D

PS. the last one was a gag a friend did for me. NOT a real business card.

agh, stress, stabbystabstab

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

okay, now thats out of my system.

Things have been just going wrong and wrong here at the studio. but beyond that. kitting goes, but the sewing is more intense, and awesome.

I've been sewing all of my patches and crests and old badge scarves onto my new camp blanket. I need to get a picture. It's a big purple plaid poncho with a nice big hood. I hadn't thought I had that many badges but apparently my blanket is pretty much filled. I guess 14 years of guiding means a whole lot of badges. lol.

I dyed last week too. oh dear. I had the light copworth, so i knew the colors would be sort of muted. I tried to do some handpainted stuff, but it didnt work. it's still pretty cool. as i was taking the first skein out of the microwave i hit the glass that i had the purple mix in. purple! could it have been any worse? it went everywhere, I had to unplug the microwave and take it off of the counter too. Mom and dad didnt notice though, and hopefully they never will. I can't wait to make something out of it, but i have no idea what to do with it.

Still working on the Clap, basic rib socks and uncle argyle. pictures coming soon of everything.
