shame on you, you fool me once

I started writing my Romance / Love story for the Hanfic Genre Challenge. So far so good. I've only gotten one page written so far. But that's okay. I like it so far.

Also I've been knitting like crazy. My thumbs hurt, but I can only imagine how sore I'd me knitting this heaviness on straight needles. Ugh. When I'd knit for long periods of time on straight needles, my entire hand would hurt. But that is not so with the circular needles; only my thumbs hurt and really, it's the right one in particular. But I'm almost done knitting that baby blanket. I've got about another 26 inches to go, that is, if I want it to be square, which I obviously want. Maybe when I finish I can get back to my KNITS for KIDS sweater. But then again, I need to jump on the writing bandwagon, ya know? *sigh*

Anyway..... I think I might knit a little bit more before I actually try to sleep.

Goodnight, LJers
Sleep tight

So here's an updated picture of my KNITS for Kids sweater:



Ain't it beautiful?



And here's a Christmas present I got. Talk about awesome flamingos! (it's a marionette)

 



And these are my beautiful nails! They're press-ons...well actually they're glued on b/c they came with glue and those press-on stickers.....

  

That's all my pictures for now.

Another New Year's Resolution: take more pictures.

It's about 2:26 in the morning. I was too tired to knit but I guess not tired enough to put my touch down and go to bed. I just feel like I needed to write something down. I don't know.

Well, I guess I wanted to tell you about what my New Year's Resolution is. It's an organization called KNITS for Kids; you knit really easy sweaters for little kids who need a warm sweater for the cold winter. You can make one or two or some people knit all winter. So my resolution is to knit one Esweater. Just one. After that, who knows. *shrug* More than likely if I have a good enough time with making the sweater I'll probably make another one. Patterns look easy enough. And they have three variations on the pattern. But each pattern needs a pair of size US 7 and a pair of size US 5 needles or, ya know, whatever it takes to make the correct size gauge. Also, the pattern tells you how to make a few different sizes. I heard they need more of the bigger sizes, but I think I'm going to make a small one to start. And you know if any of my knitting friends want in on this I'd be happy to pass along Jeanne's email address to you. She'll more than likely send you what she sent me. But this is a good cause, sending sweaters to under-priviliged kids who are in need of warm clothes.

Well, I better be getting to sleep. I'll talk to you tommorrow. Or rather later today. Haha

Love an stuff
