So long, farewell...

It's hard to believe that it's been almost a full year since I posted here. A lot of things have happened since my last post on 2/21/08. I was in a musical, became a sort-of-Soprano, lost some old friends, made new friends, went to NYSSSA again, made more new friends, grew my hair long and cut it again, decided to stop rowing, turned 17, kept taking photos writing, and knitting, and finally... started a new blog.

If anyone still checks this little piece of the internet 11 months after my last post and they want to find me somewhere else, I'm here. This will be my last post here, but I won't delete this blog; It's a good record of four years of my life. <3

Assignment 42

Assignment 42: This was an interesting one. Unfortunately, it was on the back of one of my favorite pages so I had to lose the left half of that page too. I decorated it a little bit, some old, sparkly star stickers from my scrap-booking days and a new message for whoever finds in. I had originally intended to leave it at the mall when I went to see Benjamin Button, but I ended up leaving it on one of those cushy chairs at Starbucks after a musical rehearsal. I hope someone nice and creative finds it and takes care of t.

Assignments 40 and 41

Assignment 40: Wow, I broke 40 assignments, that seems like a lot to me. I began this in study hall (weird looks galore, of course), and finished it at home. It is pretty gooey, and the coolest part is the print that some of the stuff made.
Assignment 41: I guess this is what happens when you give a sixteen year old a 30 pack of sharpies for her birthday. This one turned out really well.



By the way, I finally did something with the cover. I saw the googly-eyes in our craft cabinet and knew that they would be perfect.

Let the catching up begin...

Knitting first.


Pattern: One Day Beret by Kirsten Kapur
Yarn: Malabrigo Yarn Silky Merino in Rupestre
Needles: US 6 and US 5

On Ravelry, I'm calling it the Raspberry Beret. Apparently, that's the name of a popular song by Prince. I was unaware, but I don't have a problem with appearing more "in to that" than I actually am. I finished this in about two weeks, despite the title. Probably because she originally wrote the the project for a thicker yarn. I love this beret so much, it's soft and really pretty, not to mention that I easily edited the pattern to fit my incredibly large head (always a plus).


Pattern: Gnomey Child's Hat by Adrian Bizilia
Yarn: Plymouth Yarn Encore Chunky
Needles: US 10
I knit this adorable thing for my new cousin (second cousin? He's my cousin Tiffany's baby) Lachlann. This was a really fast knit and better yet, the yarn is very soft, washable, and incredibly cheap (I think it set me back about six dollars). Plus, I have a ton of it left, if any more babies come along, I'll have a pattern all ready.

:D

What I looked like when I just got my braces on is here. (honestly, I can't bear to repost this picture, my teeth looked so horrible) This was taken

Another picture, this one is much more recent. According to Flickr, I took it on November 28th.

And now, after more than three and a half years of metal in my mouth.


No braces, and feelin' fine... Adios!
