Yes, done my first scarf! It took me awhile, but once I got into it, it took no time to finish. Scarf is made with a basic knit lace pattern. Made from Bernat Glacier yarn. I just don't know who to give it too. It's not long, only 35 inches... right now it's the best size for Sparky, as you can see. ;)

Nice scarf, Sparky

I swear I'm knitting a lace pattern scarf. It's a simple knit, k2tog, yo pattern. I'm quite happy to say I've had good feedback about it. Yay! I'll post pics later.

Today me and Jordan went to see Deep Sea at the Imax with Dinko and Agnes. It wasn't the best Imax movie I have seen, but it was still pretty good. I like learning about things like that. It's so much better than going to see a movie at Cineplex or something, way more educational.

Knitted DS Bag

I finished my first project! A knitted Nintendo DS Bag. :)


I bought a new hat! I don't buy them very often because I can't find one that looks ok. I'm trusting Jasmine and Julia that this one looks good. :P

I got the hat from the Originals Craft show yesterday, that I went with Jasmine and Julia. It was my first time meeting Julia. Yay internet craftster people!. I'm saying yay alot, aren't I?

Here are some pics to prove yes, I am indeed knitting. I can't even imagine though how many hours I have knitted and just ripped it all apart. Knitting isn't easy! BTW, this is just practice stuff. The brown thing may become a scarf, but I don't know. I keep adding and decreasing on accident. I wanted it to be a scarf, but it seems to be deciding that on its own for me.

The other day I went and bought some yarn from that lady I mentioned in my previous entry. I picked up over 50 skeins for 50$! I have acrylics, wool, and some others mixed with angora. Yay yarn!

I decided to try another hobby. Polymer clay. I know, I know I need to stop somewhere! First sewing, then embroidery, knitting and now this. I'm not even good at anything yet. Maybe I have some weird obsessive compulsive, attention deficit disorder. :P

I'm on the edge here at home. Things just keep getting worse. Ever have the same person constantly saying: "Where's mine? " I can't have anything around here without my mom asking for her piece of whatever I have, let it be food, clothes, whatever. I'm really sick of it. But you know what happens when I bring up my concerns here? People start to place blame, not take responsibility for their actions. We're friggin' adults here, they much more than I.

You can't tell, though.

Ugh.

Oh my goodness, another purchase.

Nintendo DS Lite. And I got it in pink, hee hee. :)

I figured that since I get nauseous on the bus if I read or try to knit, I can do this. I'm totally a Nintendo kid. Flashy graphics and games that require you to spend hours at a time playing them to advance a single level are not my thing. That's why I love Nintendo. I wanted a Wii, but this is the next best thing, I think, until I move out. The DS will also be fun on transit in which ever other city I end up in.

I'm feeling a bit better since my last post. I've been speaking to a few people who have really helped me out.

Jordan is in Montreal today dropping by some architect firms. I wish I could of went but I wasn't up for going around Montreal by myself. Normally I would... but as my last few posts show I've been spending alot and I wouldn't be able to buy anything there. Ok, ok, I'm sure I could find something else to do... gah, I could of went to the new library... and maybe some museums... ok, next time. It will be soon, anyways.

Some people know I've been having some medical issues. I have to go back to the hospital tomorrow, something isn't right. I'm worried. It seems things are just getting worse for me in that department. This reminds me of how the brother of someone I know is in Med school and he was saying how complicated women's organs are compared to guys. It's true. I'm sure if I was a guy my problem wouldn't be such a mystery for them.

I need to motivate myself to get some sewing, knitting or embroidery done, but I feel so icky all of the time. I guess I can try and stop feeling icky and replace it with making something, hehe.

OMG, YARN AND WOOL! I forgot that there is a lady who used to be a teacher who is selling some yarn. She said she will put some thing together for me and I can come and pick it up. If anyone else wants some, let me know! Maybe we can all go there together and pick what we want. :)

I'm starting to think the following things:

a) Some people pretend I don't exist
b) I'm just someone for my family to blame things on
c) I'm a medical disaster
c) It's convenient for people to be unhappy
d) I'm never going to have any friends

I've been a bad girl, again. I spoiled myself, along with a little help from Jordan. I went shopping. I got some necklaces, earrings a bracelet, GORGEOUS Fendi sunglasses (pictured below) and an amazing Enzo Rossi bag.

Jordan took me out for brunch at Les Fougeres. I had this great duck confit dish. He was kind enough to pick up a mini Chocolate truffle cake for me from their store. He also took me to see Happy Feet. It's such a cute movie!

I have the best boyfriend ever. :)

Oh yes, knitting... well... I'm still unravelling all of my work, haha.
