the baby head!!!!!

I am so freaking excited it is done. However, I haven't worked on the blanket in about a week.... shame, shame. I'll work on it at church tomorrow. But look it's kinda cute and for me it kinda looks like a Mario mushroom. I find it kind of funny because my uncle loves Mario and other classic games. It almost makes it perfect. But lookie:

I think it's cute. but the fact that it almost looks like a baby with a fro (which is what i'm going for is completely awesome!

Now please, please, please if you are reading this go back to my last post and tell me what you think about which color I should do the border.

Until next square.

Happy Day!!!!!!

So I am super super freaking excited!!!! There is a lot going for me right now!!! I fix my blog app problem!!!!! I would be posting this on it except there is no wifi reception in my room. I have found a new show to watch (Thanks to bestie)... Hogan's Heroes. I know this show is super old but it is really funny... I can't stop watching it. Oh also I found out that I am almost done with my baby head square. Now I need to know what you think! I have options for the baby blanket and I want your opinion on which colors I should do. Please leave a comment on which one you like more: the white or the navy blue. Most votes wins!

The WHITE:

The NAVY BLUE:

Ok these photographs are a little lighter than the actual yarn but I'm sure you get the point of what they look like together. Please let me know what you think so we can finish this baby blanket ASAP!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today seems extra special than all the others. Maybe it is because it's another gift giving holiday. Maybe because this holiday is all about love. Maybe it is because I am wearing lots of red and some sexy over the knee boots. ^-^ whatever the case is I love today, what today does to people, and what today just means. Valentine's Day means something different for most people, some it's an anniversary of a relationship or a death, it is a reminder that yes, I am single, and for some it is just another silly holiday that big corporations invented so that people will spend a lot of money on candies, cards, and cute little things (like a mini Christmas). For me today is the day to spread love and good feelings by being with those you love and to just do things that make you feel good!

I am excited for tonight and spending it with my best friend. We are just going to watch some movies and eat some good food.

Hopefully my package will come in, I ran out of blue and cannot continue without it. I'm not going to lie, ordering yarn online scares me. Well, it only scares me if I already have a skein that I need to match. Even if it's from the same company, and same lot number I am always scared that something will happen so that it will not match. For example they could send me one that they were running out of dye and made the skein before replacing/replenishing it, or if it is spotty or random colors by accident, or if they send me the wrong color altogether. These thoughts haunt me at night as I dream of knitting up a storm. Ok maybe they don't, maybe they just make me hesitate to buy yarn from places that I do not trust to have multiples of the same color... but I still think about it and I think that that semi-counts.

Well graduation is coming up in 54 day and my parents will be her in 53! I can't wait and now I have to get all of my stuff in order... So I will be on after I finish this section to show you a fun little pattern I made!

Minor Delays

I have had to stop progressing in this endeavor for a wee bit. There are a lot of things going on that I need to figure out that are a smidge more important than this blanket. I really feel like I need to find myself and even though I know I am crafty and a knitter there is still so much more I do not know. I have went through many changes this last year and I am not sure about much; like I have no idea what my favorite food is, or even what color my hair is(naturally and currently), I have no idea what three words I would use to describe myself. I am going for a trek to figure myself out (most people would call it a small hike). I hope that I will get in tune with nature and myself. It might even give me some inspiration to do something amazing. Until next time.

Blanket still in Progress

I've been wanting to write for days, I have just had not much to write about. This pattern that I am working on is incredibly adorable yet it a pain in the butt!! It takes a long time to do but it will be worth it in the end! I need someone to remind me not to do this one pattern again until I actually have time to do it, like a year or so. Right now, I have a couple months. To finish this blanket I still have this panel and another full one, I also have to learn how to crochet and put them together. At least the hat is done. ^-^
Well some good news! I found someone to teach me how to crochet, I will see if we can start lessons either next week or the week after. I am super excited. When I think about all the things I will be able to do after I master this talents my brain goes a kagillion miles a minute! I also found the perfect color or yarn that will go with my other colors of the blanket. It was really hard to do that. I wanted to go with a bold blue but it just did not fit. We went with a beautiful pearl white instead. If the baby or the parents don't like the blanket, that's fine, I want it. I have grown so attached that I almost feel like it's my baby (the blanket not the actual baby).
Some other exciting news: I got accepted to the Fall/Spring track at BYU-Idaho. I know that it is nothing like Hawaii and will be cold like hell when it freezes over but at least they do not want me there for winter! I will be reunited with some old friends and some newer ones that I met here in Hawaii. I also have a friend or two that are going to follow me to BYU-I eventually. It will be party central once I get there.
However before I make my decision I have to hear back from the main BYU campus. I honestly have no idea what I want to do or what I am going to do but I know that I need to sit it out and wait for the response.
Recently while trying out new candles and incense I found that I like a candle that is scented like air and so far I am trapped between the scents sunrise and air again. Now for those of you who are read this and are thinking "What the heck?! why does she like the scent of air? if you like it so much why don't you go outside?" well to answer you, outside has an interesting smell. It always changes, however right now it is one of just fallen rain. It is nice but not strong enough to make the room ( my super small dorm room that I share) smell nice. Usually when we walk into our room (me and the roommate) it smells moldy, musty and stuffy! And they tell us not to have candles, incense or anything else that can make the room smell nice. Ok we can have febreze but that smell doesn't last long in a place that nothing really ever dries. I am not trying to complain, I just wanted to give some background of my new obsession (ok, obsession isn't the right word but it is kind of close) of incense.
Well I have started this new thing when I backtrack to all of my new favorite TV shows and watch all of them, I know this takes a while but I work on my knitting as I do it, I have watched all of the seven seasons of Desperate Housewives (this one I might have started and finished before the knitting project).... I am currently working on Leverage (only three seasons, about halfway done with the second), I want to get to Chuck and I am open to any suggestions on shows that I am not currently up-to-date with. These shows include but are not limited to (mainly because I cannot remember them all): Castle, Psych, White Collar, Royal Pains, Cougar Town, Desperate Housewives, Glee, and 30 Rock.
Well while watching something online I found my camera SD card and here is a picture of the pattern that is beautiful but takes a bit too much time:

Hopefully I finish this week, if not then hopefully next week. Well Leverage is calling my name, until next time.
