Snow Day #6! :)




This is a yay and nay since that now, if the school district doesn't erase all of the missed snow days or whatever. I will be getting out on July 2! Wahoo. Doesn't that sound exciting! Not. I mean it's really really nice to have snow, actually, I am very excited! Besides that fact that our bowling meet against Ferndale at Majestic Lanes is canceled and will probably me moved to sometime next week and then Districts will be moved and possibly State... Isn't snow pretty? I love it.

In the knitting world, there isn't much to say. I restarted the heel on my Bazaar Sock. I knitted a little on the white sock that I hate. It's really ugly. Hmmm, am I thinking Christmas Present? Do do do... :)

I'll probably make socks for all of my relatives this year since I am in a sock knitting mood.

Oh yeah, here are some pictures:


To make up for yesterday's no pictures. :)
Have a good day and I hope it snows!

Not much here

I would be posting pictures today, but can I find my USB cord to plug inmy camera to the computer? No. It's around here somewhere. Today my plan is to bowl with my sister at two and then the rest of the day, I am going to knit or finish one of the three sock patterns that I am currently knitting. I'll probably finish the white sock pair, then hopefully finish either the watermelon or the Bazaar Sock next.

Let me tell you that the Bazaar sock is the most intense pattern I've done. I currently have to redo the heel (I've only done like two rows) because I followed the pattern and I was knitting the side not the bottom of the sock. WHATEVER. Stupid sock pattern...

News about the blog, I have added a counter which I don't think will tell me very well who is on my blog because I am constantly looking at my blog to make sure that my edits are correct and so I probably add over half of the page views. Goodness, oh well.

Yep, it's pretty boring around here at 10:20 in the morning. I hear it's suppose to snow 2-4" but it won't last too long because warm weather is coming in right after it, I hope the snow last enough for a 2-hour delay or something. Kinda hoping snow day, but at the same time I really really want to bowl in the meet Tuesday.

THat's it for now. Once I find my stupid USB cord, I will post pictures.

It keeps on snowing and I keep on knitting!


Okay, so it seems that the winter weather is far from ending. My dad informed me at dinner tonight that it is suppose to snow 2-4" by Tuesday morning or on Tuesday. One of the two. Either way, I amd kinda excited but I really want to bowl again Ferndale Tuesday at Majestic Lanes. Guess what! I also get to bowl Thurday at Anacortes and Friday in Mt.Vernon! Anywho, back to the weather. So our little snow "flurry" ended up being an additional 0.5 inches. And guess what! It's been about 5 or so days since the last snow day and none of the snow has melted and normally at my house, I'm lucky if the snow is still here (in large amounts like the entire backyard) are white. SO this is a signal that the worst is yet to come! I LOVE snow. But I do get the feeling that a lot of people around here are getting really sick of the snow. They don't know what they are missing. I think that the reason that I love snow so much is because I think that I am really still a kid inside. I know, I know, technically I am still a kid but a lot of people my age are not cool enough to want to play in the snow.


Now I shall talk about knitting since that is the main reason I am typing right now. Here are some things that I have knitted today. Yes, during the football game. Me gusta ver americano futbol. (I like to watch american football) By the way the Seahawks lost and now I have no interest in watching the other games except the Super Bowl (which my family and I like to refer to the stupid bowl as of two years ago untill the Seahawks finally got to the Super Bowl) But steering away from the play by play football, I knitted these while watching the game:





I got the lemon and lime pattern from Jess Hutch but I made the apple and banana on my own without a pattern.

I also knitted some of my sock since I last posted on here. I'll post a picture tomorrow. Same with the bazaar sock. If I posted a picture of it tonight, then you won't see much progress from yesterday, so I thought I would at least finish my current band before I showed more. So I am still knitting. I actually spent all day knitting and watching tv.

I think the snow really mentally makes me knit. I will never know. All I know is that I love knitting and I love snow.

IT SNOWED!

IT SNOWED!!! Well, more like it snowed two days ago, then yesterday was a snow day and then today was a 2-hour delay. I love snow days, besides the make it up in the summer part. But I heard that the superintendant might just erase all of the make-up snow days. It's bad enough that semester finals are pushed back a week. They were January 24, 25, and 26. Now they are January 31, February 1 and 2. It'll give me an extra week to study and do extra credit and finish my Spanish Project which I am already done with. Yep, so I heard that it's suppose to snow here by next Thursday! :) I love snow so much. I hope our 4-day week will be shortened to 3 or 2 days caused by the lovely snow. Here's what it looked (and still does for the last 3 days, since temps are barely above 28 degrees here) like. Yes, my cat was meowing sooo loudly yesterday when she saw that bird (in the first and middle picture) on my deck. It was weird, the bird was just sitting there. I think the poor thing couldn't move. :( I hope it's okay.



Okay, so I have decided on a projects that I started before Christmas that I am going to knit. They are these socks called "Bazaar Socks" but I think that they are the coolest socks ever. So again, instead of useing the yarn and needles they suggest, I am going to use size 6 US needles and some simply soft and some icky scratchy redheart, but these skeins are surprizingly not all that icky and scratchy. Yay! So, yep here are some pictures with my cat in them and OF COURSE, she looks away right as I snap the picture then after she hears the click, she pauses and then continues to sniff at them.
So here is what I caught of my kitty and my knitting. (The socks are in the picture) I'll get a better picture of her sometime when she isn't trying to lick herself for hours on end. The Sock Pattern is a toe up type sock. I decided that I am going to make it for my dad since the socks are way too huge for me unless I wore them as slippers.
Hope it snows!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

OH MY GODDNESS!!!

I'm so excited for tonight and tomorrow! At about 10:30 or so, it's suppose to SNOW!!! I LOVE SNOW!!! Anywho, SOME people in my math class decided to tell me to stop saying that because I would jynx it. I doubt you can jynx science. I've been watching the news and so has everyone else. Since I live in the convergent zone, it's suppose to snow 5-8" OVERNIGHT. There will still be some snow showers tomorrow though. Then it is suppose to get super cold over the rest of the week which means.... ICE. Yay and nay on that one. One, it's super dangerous, but TWO, Heck, it means (hopefully) no school!!! Yeah, we're looking at getting out around July 2nd or so. Yipee. :( But, hey the snow is a ton of fun to play in. This time I am going to persuade my sister into actually playing in the backyard with me and we are going to have a snowball fight whether she likes it or not. She just doesn't know it yet... :)

On the needles, I am trying to knit socks but are boring me and I don't really know if I want to continue. They're kinda ugly in my opinion. But hey, that's just me. Besides the fact that I'm using worsted weight yarn and size 10 needles. Again, hey, it's just me. I think I might put some random good pattern names on a piece of paper and put it into a bowl and draw the names. And then knit whatever one I pick randomly. Or something like that. I think...

I'll post pictures of the snow, which it will snow... better be 8 stinkin' inches! :)
