I've had a revelation. Today I looked around at the yarn on my floor, the WIPs in my drawer, and I realized something.THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I CAN BRING THIS MUCH YARN TO ISRAEL (in two months and five days).I mean, I'm only allowed to bring three suitcases and clothing is kind of a neccesity. As it is, I'm trying to decided how many books I can afford to bring. But yarn? I can maybe fill a

I know. I know.A month.May 7.That was the last time I blogged. :( I have been doing things (like finals, and secret projects...), but still I've been a bum about blogging. In fact, the only reason I'm blogging now (besides for guilt) is because I'm avoiding cleaning my room. Anyway I have many things to write.First off, after miles of lace (um...16.5 inches) I'm almost done with the Razor Cami.

I'm beginning to realize that a good cup of ice coffee is exactly the crack I need sometimes (note: I don't condone drugs). 7-11 seriously makes the best ice coffee. It's like a piece of heaven and exactly what I need on this crap filled day.Why today is crap:1. My AP US exam is on friday and I know nothing and I'm freaking out like crazy!!!!!2. My brother is stinking up the house with smoke

I've been working alot on the razor cami and I really love how the lace is turning out. It was a gorgeous day yesterday so I got some pretty photos. See the pretty flowers in the background? Also, although lace has never deterred me, cables have always been something that I was frightened of. But no more! Thanks to knitty's awesome article on beginner cables I knitted up a cable sampler/bookmark.

I almost didn't post today.Here's the conversation that occured between myself and ... me.Myself: I shouldn't post today. I have nothing interesting to show. I already posted basically everything I'm working on in the last post.Me: ... you do realize that not every post has to be novel.Myself: Oh... right.So, actually there was something I didn't post last time. I'm working on the Razor Cami.

I said I would post on monday... and I didn't. So now this is gonna be a big post to make up for it.First, I want to answer AJknitz's power-of-7 tag-game-thingy that she tagged me in a month and a half ago (woah, procrastination).I have to post 7 weird/random things about myself:1. My computer's name is Samantha2. I have 4 siblings (2 older brothers and 2 younger sisters who are known on this

That word probably accurately defines me for the past two months. I mean lazy in writing this blog. Here are some of the excuses I used to convince myself that I was not indeed very lazy:-my internet is annoying-my crocheting has been boring-I don't have time-I have schoolwork-I should really clean my room instead-I want to browse youtube instead...-I want to comtemplate a secret project that

I have a HUGE post all typed up. I have pictures selected. I have links. I have witty humor. Why is this post not being posted? My computer(samantha) has decided that she doesn't like me. She decided this a while ago, but now I'm mad. I have internet connection, but can not actually use it. Without details, basically it just doesn't work. I'm writing this from my mother's computer(where there are

I am in heaven. I have a masala chai tea in hand and the new Limenviolet podcast playing. I was graced with their podcasting presence 5 days ago and voila! there is another one!!! Life is so good.I now have pictures of my yummy yarn from the wonderful Nancy. My mother basically put all the yarn on a table and we(me and sistas) took turns picking.Yes, you do see some fun fur. I know many people

I have yarn. Like gorgeous stuff. My mother's co-worker (Nancy!) used to knit and everyone still gives her yarn, but she doesn't knit anymore. So she gives it to my mom who gives it to me and my sisters. It was a lot of fun fur and moda dea. We put it all on a table and each took a turn selecting a skein. I picked some really yummy stuff. And took a bajillion pics. Then we buried my sister is

Ahh, so I haven't blogged in a while and feeling very guilty about it. First, off I bought yarn:the pink baby yarn is for a shawl for my grandmother. It's the Seraphina shawl. There are issues with the pattern so I would only recomend it for someone who doesn't need exact direction. I'm pretty sure that some people re-wrote the pattern to be more readable on ravelry.Here's the first few rows,

She used to knit alot and said she was never going to use this.Beyond yummy yarn.I am also thankful for scarves made out of said yummy yarn:Also thank you Lime N' Violet (most awesome podcasters) for keeping me sane (or insane) this past week. Hold my monkeyAlso thank you Mrs. Hairdresser

So... the Boutique is in 3 days...65 hours. Minus around 20 hours(roughly) of sleeping. Minus 7 hours of school times 3= 21 hours. Minus hours getting ready in the morning = 3 hours. Minus eating dinner= roughly 2 hours. Minus the amount of time I ride on the bus to a from school = about 3 hours total. Minus my gossip girl fix= 1 hour. That leaves me with... 15 hours!!! That's it! That's all the

So for the past 2 weeks my computer has been slowly dying. It started with a few innocent pop-ups. Then the internet got slower. Eventually the internet froze over like a lake in January. This leaves me with a lot of free time. So I was good girl and studied for my psychology test... okay, so I haven't cracked open the book. But the Chanukah Boutique is in less than 2 weeks! I honestly don't know

okay, so I may be procrasinating, but it's all in the spirit of crafting. (at least that's what I keep telling myself. I haven't posted in forever so I got a ton to share. Despite the fact that I am supposed to be working on scarves and hats for the boutique coming up (Nov. 15!) I seem to have many mysterious projects popping up.First, I attempted book binding. Then I gave up on it. So I made up

So I've been really bad about posting. Since I'm crocheting for the chanukah boutique my shul is running I'll be posting more now. It's going to be November 15th! whoo! lol. Last year was awesome, but since it was first real selling thing I sold everything for $10 each. This year I'm gonna do $15 and see how it goes. Here are scarves and hats I made for last year's boutique.Side: My sister the

So after working on the Light N' Lively from www.lionbrand.com I've been told my more than one person that it looks like I'm wearing a bra on the outside. I think I'll just leave it in my closet to hang in pride because I am very proud of it. I was part of the crochetalong at craftster.org. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=171940.0So my little sister was taking the pictures and we

He's the bedfellows pattern from The Happy Hooker. His ears are not from the pattern b/c I wanted them to be more floppy.Here's a video of

I also made my mother a bookmark (she has been not so subtly hinting for the past 2 weeks) (

Woohoo! I started and finished an awesome bolero/shrug in 2 days! I'm so excited and I wore it on saturday and got tons of compliments so now my ego's completely boosted. I really love it. It's done in love knot with a ribbed edge. Crocheted with Lionbrand- Pound of Love. Completely my own design (something I will eventually one day write day... eventually.

Isn't it just the most wonderful to make a fresh pair of fingerless gloves. (Despite the fact that i ran out of yarn with 8 stitches and had to use black yarn to sew up the side on one, i still love them.) Except for the fact that it was boiling the day after i made them :( so they've been sitting very prettily on my desk but are pretty much useless unless it gets cold here again which I pray
