Applications and an almost-FO
I really need to do better with this journaling thing. (And don't get me started on my pen-and-paper journal. ::pats it::) As it is, the most exciting thing recently is that I sent my application in for Simmons College on Friday--I'm applying for their library science programme. ::crosses fingers::
In knitting news (since that seems to be most of what I write about in here lately), I've mostly finished my mitteny mitts! I finished the first one a few weeks ago and finished knitting the second last week (I still have about five ends to weave in for the second one yet). After I finished mitt the first I took a few pictures--I didn't put them on Ravelry because I don't really like how they came out (it's a bit awkward to take pictures of a longish mitt while you're wearing it--especially when I don't have anything in the way of a tripod). I thought I'd still show them to you so you can see how pretty this yarn is (and I rather like how the mitts themselves came out). When the ends for mitt the second are woven in, I'll post more pictures. ^_^
I haven't been able to start my Extermaknit for the who_knits Good vs Evil KAL of Awesome yet due to my woefully small needle inventory. I've ordered the circ I need from Jo-Ann and it'll be here by Thursday at the earliest. ::curses lack of LYS:: (yet again) I've also decided I want to make an Eight-inspired scarf--and/or a Charley one. I'm thinking Charley's might be a more spring-y scarf--she seems to be a spring-ish person to me (and I don't have any late winter/spring/early fall scarves yet). Any ideas for stitch patterns/colours/yarns/&c. to use?
And I'm off to watch the Academy Awards.
