fawkes-o-lantern

Remember, remember the 5th of November....

I made a Guy Fawkes Jack-o-lantern!



Yeah... I'm not the most artistic person so it looks kind of like a pilgrim. Oh well, better luck next year.

my sister in-law sent us japanese candy and snacks. yummy!! the ones on the left are these cheesy puff things, but are kind of sweet too. the middle ones taste like ice cream cones covered in chocolate. and the last ones are kind of like chocolate stuffed pretzel goldfish.

I have more ny pictures on picasaweb

apparently i'm going with the one post every three months thing. i've been using twitter lately. it's like one sentence blogging, heh.

i got this little guy the other day. i love it. it's easy to have a camera all the time now. it takes pretty nice pictures. 5mp and stuff, although it's better outside than in. inside, if there's enough light, it's pretty good at taking pictures quick. if i use the flash though, i gotta make sure what i'm taking the pic of is far far away or it gets really overexposed. it's an insanely bright flash. i want to get an eye-fi for it sometime. i haven't even really put any pictures i've taken online yet. maybe i should start keeping like a picture blog. hmmm. of course they'd probably be mostly pictures of my dog and cat. lol. ok ok, i'll start today. here's a picture of something i saw yesterday.

Wow, it's been forever since I posted anything. I guess I haven't been doing anything interesting.

Today I knitted the first thing I ever knitted without a pattern. I'm not a great knitter, but I think it came out ok.

Just in case anyone else wants to make one, here's what i did...

----stem----
co 3
i-cord for a while
put 2 st on holder

----leaf----
repeat for each stitch on holder
1 kfb 2
2 (an all even otherwise marked) p
3 k2 kfb k1
5 k1 kfb k1 kfb k1
7 k
9 k1 ssk k1 k2tog k1
11 k2 bo1 k2
12 bo2 break yarn.
bo2 (i just used a small piece for this)

---making---
bind in extras.
with the two at the top of the stem, i went through each leaf to give it a little more support than the 2 st. from the kfb.

i hope this all makes sense. first try!
