Snow day!

So, I've decided that I'm going to rip out about ten rows to fix the disgusting looking job I've done recently on the ear warmer; it literally looks as though someone else picked up the project and started it again--not the kind of finished product I'm looking for.

On the bright side, however, classes were canceled today! It's a snow day--we have two feet and growing right now. I just finished cleaning the apartment top to bottom, and after I do some more school work, I'm going to get a fresh start on knitting again.

And, it's Mom's birthday today! She's the greatest :)

Update, finally!

Well, I finally got around to trying to fix my project. I ended up making it so there was no hole, but I twisted the yarn pretty badly--I guess I'm called a new knitter for a reason. I only have the decreasing left, so I should be done in another day or so, depending on school work, but it's mangled and odd looking for a few rows--my knitting was very loose as well for some reason.

Oh well; hopefully my next project will come out better!

Speaking of which, the needles I bought in Florida are awful! They are blunt and don't pick up the yarn at all. I was trying to start a scarf project with them while I was at the hospital with my friend Danielle last week, and it was a disaster. I'm going to ask my dad to sharpen them and refinish them so that it won't be a total waste.

Anyway, I'm going to try to get my hands on a camera when my ear warmer is finished; Danielle told me I could use her camera whenever I want, so I think I'm going to take her up on that, since I don't want to wait until I'm home to ask Kaitlyn if she'll let me use her camera.

And, lastly, Aunt Adrienne tagged me in her blog :) I need to list five things that have yet to be revealed in my blog, and I have to tag five other people. I don't have anyone to tag but LeeLee, so I'll tag her. And, here are my five things:
1. I'm a college student double majoring in Adolescent Education and English.
2. I have two roommates--I don't talk to one of them and the other one is one of my best friends.
3. I'm a vegetarian (seven years and counting!).
4. I recently just quit my job at school.
5. I'm 5'4".

Alright, I have to get some school work done.

Woe!

I've been knitting along great on my new project, and I would have estimated that I have only two or so more days until I'm done (at least finished by this weekend), but I went ahead and dropped a stitch; then, when I tried to fix it, I dropped another one.

I tried to find tutorials online for how to fix this kind of thing, but I've come up empty. Does anyone know of any good tutorials that might help? I'll even post some pictures if you want to see what happened!
