Blahhhh

Hi again,
My sincerest apologies for the lack of posting lately. And to be honest, this one won't be much of an improvement. I've been super tired lately-when I come home from work, I can barely move let alone knit, which is pretty much the saddest thing ever. So I haven't worked on my sweater much in the past month. This past weekend I hunkered down and finished the body-it looks a little weird, but I'm going to deny this and try not to think about it. I also started working on a sleeve, and this is where my directions fail me. I've basically been winging it. For realz. I have no idea what I'm doing. And its uncomfortable in general working with dpns (for me) but working with dpns attached to a heavy piece of knitting it just not fun. I will finish this sweater though, I promise you that. It just may not be very pretty.

I don't have any pictures for this post, which once again I'm sorry for. The only reason why I have the energy to write this post is because I'm going into work late today (this is not exactly an awesome thing by any means, because I have to stay until 9 PM). Also, this doesn't mean I get to sleep in, because my body is so used to waking up at 7, that I couldn't stay asleep past 8. ALSO, this doesn't mean I'm not tired, I'm already pretty freaking exhausted. Sorry for complaining. Life's just not super fun at the moment.

FO, Sweater Update

Hello again,
My apologies for the lack of posting in the past few weeks. School has been really exhausting, and I'm so tired when I come home I barely have energy to knit. The sweater progress has been slower because of this, but I'm still working on it. I only have a few more inches to go to finish the body of the sweater, and then I'll start on the sleeves.
I made a video of how it looks this past Sunday which is pretty much how it looks now.



In other news, I finished a small project. It's the pattern "it's a cinch" headband, which is pretty much a turban style headband.
The yarn I used was given to me and I'm not sure if I ever knew the brand, although I have in the back of my head TLC. It's kind of ugly but soft, and I've used bits of it in various different projects. I have to say that this headband is pretty ugly. I think maybe on someone with lighter hair it would look better, I don't know. Or maybe its just that I don't look good in a turban headband. Either way, I'm making another because I needed a small project to bring to school.



Whenever I look at me in the last picture, I kind of laugh. I'm not really sure why.
