I think my Dorm Room is Making me Sick

That's right my dorm room is making me sick I'm convinced. Well really I don't truly believe that but it is crazy cold. I actually wore flannel pants and a hoodie last night and I never do that not even in the winter at home. I'm going to the store today after I'm done with classes to get some medicine. I think it's really just allergies though, or maybe a combination. I don't know but it's really cold. Classes are going well. I have my first real speech on Monday and it's on Happiness...I'm really not happy about it. I love my U.S. History class my professor is so good. I also like my other history classes but my U.S. History is the best. Oh so another political shout out I guess. I must say all of the comparison of inexperience between Palin and Obama is driving me crazy. First of all I would say that yes Obama probably has more experience than Palin on national and international issues, but Obama is running for President and Palin is not. Palin is running for Vice President. Therefore it is not a very good argument in my opinion. Besides Palin does have John McCain to I guess teach her, and I guess the same argument can be made for Biden. Anyway that is getting on my nerves when I read articles or watch the news (which I don't do that often because I don't have a TV). I guess that's it for now. I haven't really been knitting much, but I've been working on my sister's Bryant's Slipover so I'm about half way done with the waist shaping which is good. Oh and the new Knitty is out and I love it, there are some things I just have to knit from it.

Foliage Update

I finished my Foliage hat from Knitty and I like it. I will post picture later. I have started the Shawl-Collared Jacket from Baby Knits for beginners by Debbie Bliss. One of my sister's friend's mom is expecting a baby boy so I wanted to make something for them. It is awfully cute.

Foliage Pt 2

So here is an update on my Foliage hat from Knitty. So for one I think I have knitters cramp my arm/elbow hurts really bad and is rather cramped up. But thats okay my hat looks pretty cool. You can't really see the detail very well in these pictures but I think once it is done and stretched out it should be able to see.

The top of the hat.

A close up view. You can't really see anything but the yarn looks really pretty.

This is what the yarn looks like. Its really a lot prettier than this picture I can't wait until I can wear my hat!!
This is actually one of the only things I have made for myself. I am normally giving things away but I really wanted to keep this hat. I'm hoping to make a sweater soon.

Foliage

So I have found a new knitting project Yay! I started Foliage from Knitty. I really love this pattern. And the yarn I'm using is a really pretty brown with red and yellow in it. It reminds me of fall. I'll post pictures later.
