Blocking

I am blocking Branching Out as i write this. I think it looks pretty damn good! medium_boblocking.jpegmedium_bo_blocking2.jpeg I decided to pin it and spritz it with water. Then I did a non-contact steam. I think it might just work! And of course, because I have a term paper that i should be working on, I decide to procrastinate and knit something new instead! I started on the leaf-pattern scarf, and although I like the look and the colors, the mohair-ish yarn is a bit too scratchy for a scarf. i think I might reverse the colors... have the black be the main color, and the mohair-ish stuff be the leaves. This is a super-easy pattern, though. medium_leafscarf1.jpeg Ok, must get back to writing that damn paper. I cannot wait until this stupid semester is over!!

Rite Aid has yarn but only the very basics: Red Heart, Sugar and Cream, etc.

You scarves look wonderful!

I made Lelah a halter because I wear halter tops 24/7 in warm weather but not so much with tube tops. Plus halter tops are sooo flattering, I think they make everyone look good.

I'm going to good ol' community college, Sacramento City College to be exact. I figured I'd take it a little easy for my first couple of years of college and ease my way into all the stress and everything. Going straight to a 4 year just seems like more time, energy, stress, and money than it's really worth.
