Alright. So, toward the middle of this month, I was going to be participating in a Traveling Scarf Swap in a group I am moderating on Ravelry. Unfortunately, school has taken a priority in most areas of my life, including money. So, I had to drop out. But, not before I had already started my section of scarf.

Now, I had started thinking about this scarf for a while and I had been looking at patterns forever! I didn't know what to do. I also had finally picked out this yarn in my stash that I thought I didn't really like and wanted to get rid of. Well, low and behold, I started knitting with this cheap wool that I'd had for ages and put in new stitches as I went along and VOILA! I had created a new stitch in a wonderful looking yarn. I was instantly in love.

Currently, I am making 2 scarves that I will hopefully sell in my Etsy shop once I get it going. I've got the wool version and one that I've started in Caron Simply Soft. I think I'll make a few in different colorways to sell. I really am in love with this pattern. I don't know if I want to put in on Ravelry as a stitch pattern or a scarf pattern.....idk.

US sixe 8 straight needles

Bulky weight yarn (YarnBee Melody in Mermaid or Caron Simply Soft in Black and Wine Country)

Tapestry needle

Gauge: 17st = 4in

Stitch Pattern:

Row 1: (RS) Knit across.

Row 2: (WS) k1, p1 rib

Row 5: Knit into the first loop of each stitch, dropping second loop from the needle.

For scarf:

Cast on 28 sts (or any even number). Begin Row 1 of stitch pattern. Repeat Rows 2-5 until scarf is 5 ft, or desired length. BO all sts. Weave in all ends.

Optional: Make and attach a tassle to each corner

WOAH! Heeeeey....I remember you!

Okay, so i decided it would be a spifftastic idea to start blogging again....okay not really. I'm probably only going to use this as a place to publish my knitting patterns. Which will be growing in size soon. In other news, okay, there is no other news. I will however, start back to posting on here. :D

lots of yarn and love,

Danni

I'm David Fucking Tennant

Long time no see!!!!

Just fyi, I think I have fallen in love....with David Tennant. Okay, not really. But with a boy who looks like David Tennant. And who watches Doctor Who.

That is all.

:D

Freddie and Dancer Boy are all I need...

Oh what a wonderful day this is becoming!

I am spending the day in my bed, watching doctor who, knitting, and reading the NY Times. Yes, I am aware that I told my mom that I would not stay in my dorm room all the time. But it was just one of those days, you know.

So, today is perfect to think about this week's assignment: 5 things I would not leave the house without if I were going into hiding.

You could say I have gone into hiding in a way. But here is my list:

1. Freddie. Freddie is a green frog plushie that my childhood best friend gave me for my birthday when I was 12. I cannot sleep without him somewhere near my pillow. He is a must have if going into hiding.
2. My Book Collection. But not all of it, only because I would not be able to carry it. It would take a dozen people to carry that. I mean, only my books that are in a series. This would include: Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, the Mortal Instruments, and all of my John Green books. I'm thinking I will have a lot of free time if I am in hiding.
3. My Notebooks. I write a lot as it is. I'm going to take all of my notebooks because, like the book collection, I expect to have a lot of time on my hands. Hilariously, all of what I have already listed can fit in my backpack (I know because that's how I transported them to college).
4. Dancer Boy. There are several reasons for this. 1. He hot 2. He's entertaining 3. He's fun to talk to 4. He knits 5. If at all necessary, we may have to repopulate the world....which I have no objections to.
5. My Comforter. Nuff Said. lol

I think everything on my list is warranted. Unless, food, knitting, and water are not guaranteed. Then we have a problem...

Week 1: HSKS

So, the nargles went and tapered with the air conditioning in the library and now I'm freezing as I try to type out a spanish paper. DAMN YOU!!!!

In other news, I'm excited to be back with my SlytherBuddies. Suenosdejmi can help me with my spanish homework and ajkane can guide me in the wonderful ways of a proper college student.

Onward to this week's assignment!

HSKS HPKCHC

Oh how wonderful it is to be back with my wizarding family since my departure for my muggle studies. Hopefully, my studies in Telecommunication (the boxes that moving pictures and voices often occupy and entertain Muggles [TV and Radio]) and Mass Communication (Telephones, Books, Newspapers...and a new thing called the Internet) will be very helpful in thinking of ways to enchant said objects for my evil educational experiments. Mass Brainwashing, perhaps.......



SLITHER ON, SLYTHERIN!!!

Oh the Plights of a College Student

1. I hate community laundry. Please, for the love of God, take your shit out of the dryer so other people can use it! Your comforter is UGLY anyway!!!!!
2. My bike is broken.....broke it putting the tire on....
3. The cafe isn't open on Sunday, so I actually have to use my own money to eat. Meal Plan my ass.
4. I'M ABOUT TO RIP SOMEONE A NEW ONE IF THEY DON'T COME GET THEIR DAMN COMFORTER!!!!!!!!!!!

so how are you guys? :D

I like to cuddle...

...and I need someone to cuddle with....... :(

Hello, University of Alabama

I am finally moved into my dorm at UA! I have no roommate, so I guess I'm happy about that. AND the girl down the hall wants me to teach her to knit!!! And there's a guy outside my building making gorilla noises......I am so far from everyone I know on campus. Except taylor, who figured out where I was after this Facebook conversation:

Taylor: hey girl!

Jordan: you moved in yet?

Taylor: yeah, just finished. where are you staying?

Jordan: burke west.

Taylor: no way! what room?

Jordan: 443

taylor has signed off

Then she showed up at my door. She's 2 doors down. and I had no idea! I went to a couple of parties yesterday and realized that I don't like parties. I'm such a homebody. I'm excited for classes to start on wednesday. But, I'm worried I won't be able to find where my dance class is. :O

Here's my room:

Now, the only thing missing is the post from Clara! :D

Progress is slow....and takes FOREVER

Mmkay. So, I've finally finished all of the hand-made items for HSKS. I know it's only 2 things. But for some reason, in my mind, I think it takes FOREVER to do anything. That's why I hate doing laundry.....or straightening my hair.....or editing papers.....or......oh you get the picture.

I would love to show pictures of what I've finished, but I can't do that until HSKS summer camp is over.

But, for right now, I'm tired and am going to sleep.....if I could only knit in my sleep........colorwork would be hell....

Happy Sunday everyone!

Well, today is the beginning of a lot of things. 1. Exploding Snap and Ancient Ruins 2. August 3. the countdown to move-in

I hope everyone is doing well. I know the kit descriptions in HSKS said 1 small handmade item, but I got carried away. I love making things (and learning new things) too much.

Anywho, I'm going to get back to knitting and watch Torchwood.

Vacation in a Box

Over the past month, I have been participating in Knit n Tune's Vacation in a Box Swap. I thought it was a good idea; the women in the group also thought so (check us out on Ravelry). I just received my ViB in the post today. :D Here is what Lisa sent to me:

Okay, you must understand that when I get mixed CDs (which is the only mandatory component of our swaps), I tend to go a little berserk because I LOVE MUSIC! And when people have the same tastes in music as me, or introduce me to new kinds of music, my happy dances get a little out of hand. Good thing my mother wasn't here when I got this. She would have looked at me like she did last swap and then proceeded to ask "What is wrong with you, child?"

Yes, my mother still calls me a child. Which fits because when I found the box of crayons in my ViB, a very large smile spread across my face. The Hawiian Punch and the journal just make that smile bigger. You will also notice a tote bag (I can never have enough totes!), nail polish (what girl doesn't love nail polish!?!), a washcloth with an octopus on it :D, size 1 dpns, Sugar n Cream yarn (I can never get enough), and LOTS of starburst. I am very content with this. Very Very Very content. Oh hell, I LOVE THIS! I LOVE SWAPS! yes, I am addicted.

HSKS and Gilmore Girls

Hola!

I have been sooooooooooo busy these past few days. Actually, that's a bold faced lie. I have been koala-ing(sleeping and doing lazy things) away doing nothing and knitting/crocheting of course. HSKS is coming along nicely. I'd tell you all about it, but there is no telling who all is reading this. So......idk how to let you know.

Going to watch Gilmore Girls now.

PEACE

Scavenger Hunt WOOOOOO!

I might make a Polyjuice Potion to become Miranda Kerr...She's gorgeous!

And I have finished the Scavenger Hunt!

Can I use the Avada Kedavra curse on a giant granny square blanket?

For the first time ever, I have been working so long on a project that I am thoroughly repulsed by it. I mean, I never want to see Auburn Blue and Orange ever again. Going to the rival school, I didn't care about the colors, wasn't repulsed or overjoyed whenever I saw them. I was very indifferent. Now, after spending a month working on this stupid blanket, I HATE Auburn colors with every fiber of my being!

Oh, hi. Did I just start a rant without warning you? I am so sorry. It won't happen again. I promise.

How has your week been? Mine has been quite boring, honestly. However, I'm going to go watch all the Harry Potter films while I work on some WIPs and hope that Luna sends me an owl soonwith my new pair of Spectra Spects. She sat on them the last time she visited.

Does anyone have any idea as to what I can store all of my needles in? As of now, they are in a bucket. Said bucket tends to fall over a lot.

HP 1, HERE I COME!

Lexi

Hi, I'm.....Bye. Nice to not meet you!

I think I have a new roommate. Or none at all. Which would mean lil bro has a place to stay when he comes to visit.

WINGO!

Yawn........goodmorning.....wait....nevermind.....

Got back from Freshman Orientation today. So tired. mmkay, here's my WINGO information....I used to know a girl named Kaitlyn Wingo...just saying.

I worked as a counselor at a YMCA Summer Camp for 3 years. I worked with the Splash Camp kids, which was a swimming camp. We taught lessons and took them to different water parks across the state.

I have been on a train, but i didn't really go anywhere. Travelled through Chattanooga but beginning and end of the trip was the same train station. And of course, I've been on the Hogwarts Express.

My favorite yarn brand is Caron Simply Soft....or Misti Alpaca.

I speak Spanish and a tiny bit of Chines and Japanese.

I have seen every Harry Potter film in theatres at midnight every time :)

Yes, I am a HSKS n00b.....

I only have 1 brother...sorry

I have 31 items in my queue...but i need to add some others

My patronus is a grey wolf. :)

I have a collection of buttons, a collection of bottles, a collection of beanie babies, a collection of books, of course, and a collection of metal tins.

I specifically live in Irondale, Alabama. I don't think anyone knows where that is.

Brownies, chocolate, and Twizzlers are the BEST THINGS EVER!

I own all of the Harry Potter movies.

I play the guitar, piano, and recorder. :) Don't judge! lol

I was born in February and I brought my dog Nikki to camp with me.

*Anything I didn't list, I do not do or cannot answer
