Scarves and Family

Guess who finally finished their Harry Potter Scarf? Yes. That's right, me. And by finished I mean I finished the crocheting part of the scarf - still have to tie in all the loose ends but that's okay, that's the easy part.

Looks good right? Despite the bad picture quality. :) For those who are counting, that makes 2 Harry Potter Scarves for me, reference here.

And don't judge, I know that the Ravenclaw one is better. Also don't judge, I really don't like Harry Potter. I just think that JK Rowling has excellent color combinations. Now for a Slytherin and Hufflepuff scarf. (To be honest, I'm not even sure that's how you spell any of those things)

Anyways, because Harry Potter isn't really that exciting and family members who send you great things are...

I'm moving on to that. For the record, this places those who live in Bend in 1st place. Just saying, you know, for anyone who might want to change those results...

I'm just kidding, but it really does make a day to get a thoughtful package full of wonderful things :) Notably, these...

A circle scarf! I've been wanting one forever - no lie! And it's a fantastic color and warm and comfy and soft :) So it's pretty great. And I wore it today and it made me look pretty great. (Well, after my 8am psych test that is. For reference, I wore sweats for the first time to class today and I can see why people do it every day. Regardless, I'm wasn't proud. So I immediately came back to my room and changed.)

Also these are pretty fantastic. No explanation needed, if you don't know what it is you're missing out on life. Sorry that your life is terrible and you don't even know it. My personal favorite is the Annihilator one - I think I am allowed to try this now because I'm in college, and when you come to college you automatically become a good coffee drinker. Okay, so that's a lie. I never drink coffee here. 

Have a good weekend! I'm off to serve food with a smile :)

Crocheting: The Start of a Hobby

I'm back from a short hiatus. Okay, it was really a lot longer than I intended. But it's time to get serious... about blogging. Okay, blogging isn't serious at all, at least for me. But you can probably tell that.

In an effort to remain chronological I have to backtrack a little in my life to update you all on the final going on's at Gordon during finals week. Finals week was stressful. Solution? Crochet like mad. It kind of soothes the mind. Really though it's another form of procrastination. But a positive form right? I like to think so. Did I mention that I crocheted for the whole plane ride home? Also, I think these pictures will prove that I have vastly improved my crochet skillz. Alas, it seems as if this IS the beginning of an addiction.

First legitmate project. A 6 (7?) foot long scarf for a 5 foot tall girl. (+a couple of inches).

A personal hat. Complete with flower attache that I taught myself how to make. (Well, really it's safe to assume that anything crafty that shows up on this blog is self taught unless otherwise credited. So all this crocheting stuff is self taught. Just a side note.) 

Another hat. With TWO flowers. Bam.

I'm even stocked up for the break. You're jealous. I know. And I even have some yarn left at college. Score.
