Prototype!

Posted in Knitting on February 20th, 2007 by Sade

I’m designing this little something for a present. I finished the prototype, and took notes. And the result is this:

Skull Baby Booties Skull detail

Once I have the final pair knitted up (wrists allowing), I’ll make a nice pdf pattern for anyone who wants to knit these too. Comments? Wishes? Anything?

Lemon Mint Cupcakes

To “celebrate” exams are over. Baked them yesterday:

Radioactive Lemon Mint Cupcake

Want the recipe? Lemon Mint Cupcakes

The mint flavour is very subtle, so if you think you want more minty, I’d say up the mint to 1/2 cup, or add some mint flavouring or peppermint!

Just leaving you with a pic of what’s keeping me busy. Fluids’ Mechanics notes:

Pile of notes, 9cm tall

Two exams to go… The last one has a pile about 5cm thick of A4 notes too. *sigh*

Filler And Actual Knitting!

Two exams done, four to go. Stress? Nooo not at all.

Anyway, these days I need the hair out of my way, and plain old ponytail does not do the trick. Hair falling over the shoulder? No thanks. So I’ve taken to this:

Crown Like Hairdo Hairdo part two

Yes, comfy, completely done up and hair out of the way. Less touching it while studying too. So it doesn’t get icky in a day.

And actually knitting content. Remember that kilt hose? The one I was knitting for Jan? I had to rip it, yes. And I reknitted it all, from the beginning. And then I made the foot part a bit too long, and had to rip some more… But now, it’s in good track. See:

Kilt hose!

Yay!

Now, more exams…
