First and foremost, Charlie has taken over my chair.

It's now called "Charlie's Chair." Whenever I'm not sitting in it, he is. And when I am, he sits on my lap. I'm not complaining, that's for sure.

I missed the whole "What's on your needles Wednesday" thing. Well, I didn't know it existed until ... today. Soooooo here is a belated WOYNW post. Right now I'm working on a hat.

It's a generic tam pattern, knit with worsted weight yarn. I want it to be a bit slouchier (and I have a big head I guess) so I'm knitting it up on US8 needles, instead of US7. While procrastinating on Ravelry I found a butterfly stitch, so I stuck one on there. It looks a bit lonely, so I may add some embroidered butterflies after I finish knitting up the rest. The yellow is obnoxious and I love it.

Unrelated: straight As this semester, aww yeah. That's three in a row! My MA gpa is a 3.95. Not too shabby. I got one lousy B in a 2 credit class because the professor refused to round up a 89.83% to an A. Thanks.

Oh yes. A title that actually fits the post. I love when it works out that way.

fo - punk rock gabu

After the blegh that was my last Gabu (which I gifted owned) I decided to give it another go. I made some changes and got it to turn out much better. I used the same yarn--Knit Picks Shine Worsted--but used an E hook (3.5mm) for the body and a G hook (4.0mm) for the antennae. Maybe my crocheting gauge is funny ... actually I'm pretty sure it is because I somehow always crochet things inside-out. I think it's because I'm self taught. AAaaaaanyway, this one is much better. And it's called the Punk Rock Gabu because of the photo shoot.

Oh, and this is #10 of 33 in 2008. I think I have this challenge in the bag.
