Procrastinating

With so many scholarship deadlines coming up, I really should be completing them right now. Maybe I'll right one of those essays after I right this. Writing this is more fun.... :)

In the spirit of scholarship, this is the sweater I'll be submiting for my only fibery scholarship. Intricate cables, fitted sweater, nice neckline....I'm hoping it displays my knitting abilities enough to help me win.

I also finished the argyle scarf that I was making for my sister. She really likes it (I think :3), and it's perfect for when she goes to MIT. Now I know her neck won't be frostbitten. :D

There has also been a spinning marathon at my house. In the attempt to make as much yarn as possible for senior project, I have made my arm incredibly sore. However, I'm really happy with the results. I'm using one of the rovings I dyed in December. It's merino wool, dyed with Wilton's Cake Paste coloring. The yarn is turning out far prettier than I imagined. After I knit it and wash it, we'll see how well the dye sticks to the wool.

By the way, did you notice the spindle? Isn't it beautiful? I made it from a toy wheel and a dowel, and then my sister (same one in the photo in the scarf) painted it. It is even more beautiful in real life. She promised to paint me a few more as well. :3 Aren't I spoiled?

Birthday party tonight....watch yourself Chelsey Blue.... ; )

All for now....
