Finished!!!!

I've started new monkeys, but I don't really have the time to type - I've got to write a research paper, and finals are this week! Lovely time I'm having!

(that yarn in the corner - yeah, that's how much I have left! I rock, I know!)

New, and Unmentioned.

I got this in the mail today:



No, it's not really purple. It's a medium blue, and a light blue/gray, for my cousin's socks. He's 26 and he's one of my favorite cousins, so therefore he gets socks, no matter that the yarn itself is late for his birthday (last sunday). But he will get them eventually.

And then my brother will turn 11 on tuesday. He gets these:



Yeah, that's me wearing them. Yes, my 11 year old brother's feet are just as big as mine. I know.

Yarn: Left over from these two pairs of socks. I knit them toe up, magic loop, two at once, from a center pull ball, and I stopped for the ribbing when I had just enough to cast off with.
Needles: Addi turbo, 1s.
They're a bit short, but he'll deal. I even gave him some room to grow - his feet are 9 inches, they measure, when stretched slightly, 10". Yay.

Fun, and Good

So I took it. The AP US history exam. I think I passed! *knock on wood*. But it was easier then I thought. I'm glad I stressed and studied, though. However, I had a few (several) break downs today. First, I didn't get to go immediately home, and then I was SOOO hungry, and then I had to go to my new JOB (at Friendly's!!!) to give them my passport to prove I'm not an illegal citizen.

Anyways.

So knitting.



I know it looks like nothing, but I'm making two socks at once with magic loop for my brother using the yarn left over from these, and from these, (look farther down).

It's so neat and orderly knitting them both at once. I keep thinking I won't have enough yarn, but I then remember that I don't NEED to knit a second. However, I don't like how the two balls get tangled together. Little things.
