I started this in October, thinking I could do it by Christmas. Boom, November. Finals finals everywhere, and all the papers are due. So it ended up being more of a Valentine's Day present.
Longer than my bed unblocked, and longer than my entire room after blocking. I actually had to lay out one end inside my closet! Aiaiai. Much hassle. But worth it! Here's a link to the pattern, and the website itself has a handy list of colour matched yarns available online (I went with the KnitPicks stuff, came to about $45 after shipping and tax)
Had a pretty awesome interview today. I won't say with whom, but it involves running around in nature/science centres/aquariums/beaches and telling people that they should get out there and look at stuff. I'm afraid I quoted Anne of Green Gables ("scope for the imagination!"), and somehow managed to use my monster mask. Let's just say I did a short presentation on grizzly bears... I met a couple suits in the elevator going down afterward, they were covertly checkin' it out, so I breezily said "another day at the office, eh?" or some such thing and felt coolly weird and mysterious. Then I went to my favourite library across the street and picked up some light reading. I pretty much live at the library if you hadn't guessed.
I haven't got any pictures of the monster mask, but here's the video I used it in.
So! To celebrate being free of schooly bits (for noooooowwwww - as the Pepsi people say. In a really dumb tagline) and because my niece wanted one, I have almost finished knitting up one of these monsters!
Ahh, feels good to be carefree and able to fritter away my time! Fritter fritter! Yeah. Feels good. Also these. I wanna make these too.
Kinda hard to see from the pic, but it's written by Tina Barrett if you wanted to look it up. As usual, pics to follow at a later date. I haven't got a camera or a phone or anything, so I have to wait til my mom goes to work so I can use her iPad, and I usually forget :P
