I don't really have much of an update besides that, and that I have a job interview tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Still no FOs
But I have started making origami cranes. I made 25 yesterday. I'm folding them with a group of friends; the goal is to fold 1000 of them and donate it to a hospital. It should be fun. I'll take pictures when we finally get it strung together.

"Monday" WIPs.
I haven't got much progress to show for how much I feel I've been knitting. I've gone from five repeats on the shawl to nine, and it isn't looking much bigger. Tonight, no pictures. I've been itching to work on something else, but I can't. New year's resolution says so. "No buying yarn, no casting on anything new until everything else is done." Etc. :(

WIP Monday!!
Finally!
So, as a bedside project, the fish blanket! All of the strips were finally crocheted together.

Then I did a single crochet around the edges.

(Glamor shot.)
Then three rows of double crochet.
Then, another row of single crochet in the next color.

So my rough pattern is 1 row sc, 3 rows dc, and then change colors and do it again. I have two more colors after the turquoise that I'm using now.
My travel project has been the vanilla shawl, which I had cast on, done one repeat, and then left for dead. It now has two more repeats, giving a total of three. I love it. It's distracting and wonderful. Much more consuming than a hat or something.
So, since these are both bigger projects, there possibly won't be an FO for some time, but I will probably work on little things here and there.

FOs!!!!
So, I've got tons of FOs. And Monday, the most amazing WIP ever. And I've kept to my word, I haven't started anything new, I've been working on the things that are still on the needles. First up, the baby sweater. It's done, it's perfect, it's beautiful. And it still needs buttons.
Next, three pairs of earrings (up for sale in my WePay)


Finally, the sperm. I have 35 or so of them just sitting in a bag in my closet. The plan was to make 100 of them for Regretsy, but I ran out of time. So now I have nothing to do with them. I gave one to a friend, and made it a little cape, since it was her birthday. She loves it.

I dumped my Etsy shop, and set up a WePay instead. It's cheaper for me, and from what I've been told, much better. Everyone I know that was on Etsy has left and is now on Wepay instead.
School is going well, except for this teachers strike. What's going on is that the teachers voted to strike yesterday. They turn in the paperwork saying that they intend to strike on Tuesday. If their issue isn't resolved by the 23rd, they walk out on the 24th, and I'll be out of school for a while. :( I hope it gets resolved.

Flood
So, as you know, we moved. We only JUST got internet back (because the company likes to fuck people), and I haven't completely finished unpacking. School started January 17th, and goes until May 11th-ish.
Everything has been really busy, so it's a metaphorical flood.
In the meantime, I've got 4 FOs, and 35 more (technically) on top of that. That's a lot, I know. It's going to be amazing, though.
Tonight, I don't have a WIP post because I came home from school and took a nap. Naps are good.
This Saturday (since I totally forgot to last Saturday), I WILL FOR SURE be posting my mass of FOs. I promise.
I hope everyone else is doing well.

Finally back!
We've been without internet since the move, because our internet company is a giant bag of dicks. I've gotten so much done, and so much to share. I started school (Philosophy, psychology, and a math class.), I've learned so much in just three short weeks, and I've knitted so much.
I'll post my Saturday FO as usual, this week.

Please Hold...
We start moving tomorrow (Saturday the 14th.) so I probably won't be online again until Monday-ish. Posts will continue as scheduled as soon as I'm back online.

Knitting away.
I am knitting and knitting and knitting.
I am so busy knitting and doing other things that I haven't taken any pictures. There will be a huge FO post this week, I swear.
This week, until the 13th (Friday), the first two sales in my shop get a secret surprise item. Spread the word to your friends, family, so on and so forth. It's gonna be great. :)
Pictures resume on Saturday, when I have pictures of finished stuff.
Until then, my friends.

Saturday
I haven't got any FOs yet, but soon. I'm still working away on the baby sweater. I spent most of my weekend watching How I Met Your Mother with Chris, while knitting a hat.
In the meantime, check out my shop. Tell your friends, tell your family. Spread the word. You can always like my page on Facebook, or send me an email at KitsKnits@hotmail.com if you have any questions.
I know I sound like a business card/commercial today. But business can't boom unless I put myself out here.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
