It just keeps getting better! (and im not even being sarcastic!)

I have a job! I have a job! I have a job! I have a job!
Whew i had to get that out of my system. I have had the hardest time finding a good job but this is perfect! Its a 4 week internship at a daycare in my town, sounds like so much fun, and i cant wait 2 start. It'll take me right up into the end of the year in time to start my summer job.
 
We're going 2 another Drill meet this Saturday in ROTC. I get to do a fancy sabre routine. I'm excited about that too!
 
So two of my friends at school are very pregnant right now and one of them is having TWINS!!! OMG. So I thought it would be nice to make baby blankets. I only just started, so there's no picture right now, but I think they'll look great. One of M's babies is a girl, her second is a boy, and my other friend is having a boy. So I definitely need more baby blue yarn.
 
Wish me luck on my job, I start next week, and happy knitting

When a project doesn't turn out so well...what do you do with it?

Well I finished my chain knitting project. but it's not wide enough to be a scarf, it looks lik a hippie belt actually... I don't know what to do with it...I would frog it but it doesn't look bad, it just isn't what I had in mind. Oh well onward to another project.

Tomorrow is Easter! Or actually...today is Easter. I love celebrating Easter. It's a beautiful reminder of what Jesus did for us. I really wish that I could invite M for Easter but of course she's 'grounded' again. Her foster Mom grounds her every chance she gets. It's really starting to get on my nerves.
Well I'm gonna try to sleep before going to church in a few hours. Happy Easter everyone!

New knitting methods.

So I did learn about a new kind of chain kitting. Literally. You make a chain with your fingers. It looks really pretty. I'm simply free forming 3,  3 stitch chains and braiding them to make a scarf. Here's what i've got so far


I gave the pink scarf to M. I think she liked it. I made it an Easter gift.

I tink I'm going to make another chain scarf for my Mom. She really liked the pink yarn that I made the last scarf with.
I'm going to church now for Good Friday. S(my sister) wants me to go to this youth group she goes to on Friday nights.
Happy Knitting Everyone!
