Hamster Tubes, Fish, and Lady Gaga Cookies.

Here's the hamster tube, fully finished. It took about an hour to make. Instead of the garter stitch (like I said I was going to do) , I used a rib pattern. It's about 6' around and 8' long.  

 Here are some gingerbread men/women I decorated. :P  (Right to left: Lady Gaga, Asian man, happy dude.) My Boyfriend told me to do the Asian one! I'm not racist! hahaha.

Over the weekend, I went to the Newport Aquarium with my boyfriend. It was fun, but really pricy ($22! for one ticket!). It isn't worth that much money because the place is so small, but we still had fun. :)

Scuba Santa and his elf assistant (who was fighting off the sharks with that candy cane pole).

Japanese Spider Crab. I wondered how they got them up to our atmosphere pressure level because these dudes live on the most bottom of the bottom of the sea.

A cute ray saying hello~

I had no idea what this fish was. Do any of you know?

Some cute Jellies~

This frog was adorable! He looks so squishy!

Some moon jellies.

Sea Turtle!

Japanese jellies.

An awkward fish with a snaggle tooth.

Cute little porcupine fish.

And this puffer fish had the tail of a mermaid! I've never seen one before!

Well I hope everyone has a good holiday! I'm off to the optometrist! ....gross.

Hamster sweater/tube? W.I.P.

   Hey all! So I'm currently in the process of knitting a tube for this little guy. His name is Elephant (yes like in Little Bill) haha. Isn't he cute?! :D And I do love to torture the poor thing with all of the pink and green (my room's colors) so I'm making the tube pink too!

 

Well, I wasn't sure how to knit in the round using 4/2 double pointed needles. It seemed way more complicated than it should have been. So I went out and got a circular needle! It's a 4.00 mm needle and 29" long. I had no idea how to knit on this at first (I kept twisting the stitches), but I got a hold of it pretty quickly. I'm also using Red Heart worsted weight yarn in a light pink (The hot pink was way too wild looking). And I'm using garter stitch because it's the easiest and I didn't want to mess it up by tying something fancy. Plus I think Elephant is most likely going to shred it in a couple of days anyways. ;)

On a side note, FINALS ARE DONE!!!! YES!!!! I can finally relax and not have to worry about grades. At least for another month. :) 

I hope you all are doing well in this chilly weather!

じゃあ！〜

First post, first attempt at knitting!

So this is a picture of a scarf that was in progress at the time that I made for my boyfriend.  It was my first knitting creation :D  I have to say that I was pretty impressed with how it came out, all things considering.  It did have a few mistakes (mainly that one end was wider than the other- haha) but he likes is, so all is good...for now. 

I'll be back later on because I have final exams going on this week.  Bad time to start a blog huh? heh..heh... じゃあ！〜
