Blech

Gah, I have been so focused on other stuff that I haven't even thought about this blog... I really need to make up a pattern and just get it over with, but all the cool stuff is already taken. Well, actually, I could make that raccoon ears hat that Minion wants... Yeah I'm gonna do that.

Sadface :(

I broke my promise...

I AM A FAILURE!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
OK. Self destructiveness over.

I really would have had a pattern, but the last bit of june we were traveling, so i couldn't knit much, and i didn't have access to a computer anyways.

I found something really cool that I want to make.

A knitted Kaleidocycle!

They look so cool! I really want to make one! -slaps self across face- NO! I can't! I just started a jacket pattern and I won't work on anything else until at least the back is complete! (It's a really awesome jacket from Autumn of '83) I will finish the back before i work on the Kaleidocycle!

Snore...

Ugh, I am so tired today. I went to sleep at 2:30 in the morning (hey, give me a break, here's no school), my sister woke me up at 9:45, then the phone kept ringing so i couldn't go back to sleep. I just want to  ghjbd6yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Oops. Head fell on the keyboard for a minute there. (Not really but it adds dramatic effect, or something) Anyways I am currently in the middle of a small knitted Spongebob that I decided to make (images coming soon), partway through a character of one of my friends I am going to crochet (I have the head and torso, images also coming soon), about 6/8 of the way through the Vertigo purse by the AntiCraft (again with the images), I haven't worked on my Tree of Life Afghan, and i am thinking about knitting or crocheting Mort from Penguins of Madagascar (just cuz he is soooooo cute!) I just need fuzzy yarn for  his tail. (I know that's a lot of stuff, but I have a temporarily short attention span. I will get partway through a project, get bored or frustrated, start another one, get bored or frustrated, then go back to the first one.

Awesome sauce-ness news!
My mom says that if I clean my room and keep it that way for a month, she will (FINALLY) get me a Kitten! Horray! Maybe I will name him Apples. (for those of you who don't know, that is a red vs. blue joke from season 4 or 5)

Summer Vacay!

Yay! It's finally here!

But...

Guess how i woke up this morning?

With my fat-a** dog's paw crushing my face!!!!!!

What is up with that!?!?!?!?!

Alsoooo.....

First episode of Season 9 of Red vs. Blue is out! Yay!
It's a remix of the "I am the Best" song from season 7 or 8.
(ps i am currently listening to it on my mp3 player XD)
Pretty good song but u have to watch the series to understand the song.

Okay, last thing. I promi SWEAR! to have a knitting pattern out by the end of this month. I swear!

PROGRESS!!!

(In case you were wondering, that's the Green Hornet playing in the background.)
OK this video is of the progress I have made on my spool knitter (aka corker, aka knifty knitter)

I plan to make a carpet. (at the moment it is about trivet sized.)

Speaking of trivets.

It isn't actually trivet sized. Is more coaster sized.


ALSO! The much requested pictures of the Tree of life afghan! (yay! whoo!)

The pattern

 

The cable

The color is actually more purple. but the camera is being a piece of doodoo! Meh...

>:(

 

BUT DER IS A KITTTEEHHHH!!!!! XD
That is one of my grammy's cats, Lizzie. Annie was curled in a corner of the couch where the camera wouldn't take pictures that would show up.

(PS for better pics ill get my sisters camera next time.)

Crochet

Ahh, the weekend is here. Time for some crocheting. (I knit during the week so my teachers can't complain that I'm not paying attention, because i can knit simple stuff without looking)

Wolfdreamer has a new azumarill pattern that i will make because I just found this Beautifulllllllll yarn that I wanted to make something with but there isn't a whole lot of. Then I checked the blogs I followed and lo and behold! Azumarill! I love pokemon and I may just keep this one for myself. But I may give it to Cory (co-prez of the anime club) so that she will stop bugging me to make her something. (I may not though because I really like that yarn) Anyways, off to play hooky

(Get it? Hooky? Crochet hook? Ah you get it.)

Another pattern

APRIL FOOL'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Yeah no pattern. I only hav a few minutes b4 skool. Oh this is gonna b fuuuuuuunnnnnnn. yeah I just wanted to say that and get this show on the road. I am knitting a sweater i made a baby hat 4 my teacher who left yesterday at 12 from school. Maternity leave. Darn I hope that the time until may goes fast, cuz her long-term sub is ms PAYNE (pronounced PAIN) meh :(  Oh also there was no anime club this week because of a stuped tornado warning. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( I watched red vs blue though :)

Late Night Fright

MWAHAHAHA!!!!!
I discovered a new website that has incredibly freakishly demonic stuffs on it.

Ravensblight!!!

It's an incredible sight to behold. The first page where you end up is the "Main Street" and the buildings are the links! I loved the "Them damn kids" story in the library, also "the ballad of fridgeteddy". Both wonderfully demonic. Not so much the first one now that I think about it. Oh, and if anyone can figure out how to get the mp3's onto a player, drop me a comment plz. I'd like to actually be able to hear the music.

The stuff isn't actually so creepy as bizarre.

OMG but i loved the demon gold necklace with the diamond. It was actually a picture too. Its in the art gallery thru the second door of the 3D/Jewellry section.

Anime Club

New update from club. I am so amazed by Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. I am not that good at it compared to the other ppl playing it. I want to get it now, though. 'Cuz i want to get better at playing it and actually know how to play it.

I just asked my friend Yami (nickname) to bring in the Ed handwarmer I made her so I can take pictures of it. I'll make it looks as cute as i think it will if I do it right.

OH! Great idea suddenly! I'm in a paint class, and the teacher just kind of lets us do whatever as long as the color goes with what she's teaching. I'll probably print up a picture of the human transmutation circle and I'll paint that. It will be so cool. Also, as soon as I get a PayPal, I'll put it on my Etsy. $15!!!!!!

Only in blue like in the show...

And I'm going to have to get it bigger so I can see what the words say...

I am going to paint it on a 12"x12" and put the little ed mext to it.
(Now if only I had an Alphonse doll)



Meh...

I know, I know, I already broke (sorta) one of my new year's resolutions to post more often but come on, who doesn't these days. I did make an ed doll/handwarmer though. It's an adaptation of Knitty's Handwarmer Pocket Creatures that I made look like a person and gave him gold hair and the elric jacket. Lol so cute. I didn't give him his automail because I ran out of the appropriate shade of grey.

OHMIGOSH! Sudden mindjolt! I am going to Megacon in orlando, fl, and I just realized, If I made a long enough grey clove with appropriate black markings, (along with a gold wig and a black jacket)  could go as a crossplay Edward elric! I already have black pants and this:

Fail replica (to small, hinge on bottom not side, remember quote facing the wrong way yadda yadda yadda)

Yes I have THAT! It's a fail replica but its still the pocketwatch. Ok, thats all I have to say on that subject.

Also, I must show you this one wordpress  :P blog that had a bunch of win stuff but one epic failure. http://shedko247.wordpress.com/

Scroll to the last pattern and you will see what I mean.
I saw that and literally SCREAMED at my computer screen, "NONONO! FAIL! EPIC FAIL! NOOOOOO!"
Even the pattern looks like a fail.
DID U SEE WHAT THE NOSE LOOKED LIKE?!
BWAAA HAAAA HAAHAAAHAAAAAAAA!!!!
(*singsong*) Faaaiiiiillllllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm making my friend an Umbreon From Wolfdreamer. But tragedy Hath Struck! My knitting contaiment unit, or KCU has disappeared, and half of my friend's umbreon along with it! She had just bought me the stuff to finish (that's my thing with making people stuff, they spend the money on the materials, i do the menial labor) an i got home, ready to spend a night watchong my shows and crocheting, when I couldn't find my KCU. It'll turn up eventually, but I really want to finish because 2 other people have askedme to make them something. Yami (the friend I'm making the Umbreon for)'s sister wants a Shadow Lugia, and another friend from my Anime Club that I go to Wants a Raichu. So many pokemon...
Gotta make 'em all!
Lol. OK thats it for now.

Resolutions

Okay, Its the new year. Time for resolutions.

Hmmm...

One would be post more often.
Another would be to post longer posts.
Three would be to finally make that Derp Lazer toest i promised.
Also, finish a gift for my mom i've been working on.

Let me think...

What else?

Hmmm... (again)

Oh! i know!
Finish the stuff im making for my friends.
Post patterns.
Post links to my favorite patterns.
Speaking of links

Crocheted Link!!
I made one.
But this isnt it
Mine is a little narrower, with different colored arms, and no sword.


I wanna make a crocheted or knitted edward.
ELRIC, not (shudder) Cullen.
Excuse me a sec.
(Runs to the bathroom and pukes at the mere mention of the name)
Okay, I'm back.
