I probably shouldn't be writing this...

I wanted to get a post in as I have been soreley neglagent in the past few weeks with blogging (I don't know if the blogger spell check is working so plese tell me if there is any mistakes).  The reason for this is I have been buried in assessments and stress for the past four weeks which has made the time horrible. I didn't want to put any posts up here aout that as that's not what this is for!

As it stands I have one last assessment due for tomorrow and then all I need to do is revise for my exams. The most annoying thing about this assessment is that I have been looking forward to playing Skyward Sword since I got it on the release day (I even arranged to borrow my freinds wii so I could play it). I haven't let myself go to colect this wii as I know all I will do is 'just play the first few minutes of it' and I will end up staying up all night playing it trying to get past that one area where the solution is so simple but I can't see it (like what happened in spirit tracks). Right now I've been feeding my Zelda craving by almost constantly litening to the 25th anniversary orchestral CD that I got with the game.

If I do manage get to any lectures on wednesday I don't know how I'm going to be able to take notes.

This means that there's most likeley to be a shortage in posts next month too.

tube scarf

I was asked by a freind recently if I could knit her a scarf if she gave me the wool. She gave me eyelash yarn (see examples here) in three colours a dark to light blue sparkly varigated yarn another verigated yarn in brown and rose with a second strand of really soft stuff and a sparkly candy pink yarn.

Here's a WIP photo as I forgot to take a picture of the yarn before I started knitting

It's knitted on a 10mm circular needle that was 80cm long and I keep meaning to count the number of stitches in each round. Waht really surprised me was how fast this knitted up (but then again I would just keep knitting with the thaught 'I'll just finish the row' when knitting in a circle this is not the best idea).

The scarf is finished and I handed it over today I had a little leftover from my really bad guess work with how moch yarn is needed with casting on and off so I had a little fun with crocheting a loop flower brooch to match the scarf.

if you look really closely then you can see it is a flower not just a big hairy lump
