Doctor Who and Knitting

So I am kind of a scifi geek and one thing I love to do is knit and watch shows like Battlestar Galactica, Caprica,and Doctor Who. Most recently I watched Doctor Who The End of Time part 1 and cannot wait for part 2.

I love, LOVE David Tennant as the doctor and he will soon be repleaced and I don't know how I feel about that. I have heard that the new actor playing the doctor (the 11th I believe) is good, but DT was my first doctor and it will be hard to replace him. However I look forward to the new season.
I also cannot wait for Caprica to start. Caprica is a spin-off of Battlestar that starts in January. Caprica is set 58 years before Battlestar and shows the creation of the original cylons. It should be a great show even for non BSG fans


So excited to knit and watch these!

Christmas!

So if you are a knitter, you know that the holiday season is on the busiest for a knitter. It is cheaper to make gifts, but not always the easiest. Especially if you are a college student with papers and finals. But the idea of giving someone else something you made is pretty cool. There are also some great holiday knitting patterns. I made this cute ornament for a bulletin board. I also found a really cool site that allows knitters (and other crafters) the ability to sell their products.
Esty.com is great, it is free to sell and they have other great products. People can find you locally as well. So if you want me to knit you something, make an order!
Enjoy the holidays!

Stressed out?

So if you are a college student, the month of November and December are very stressful (especially if you are in a discipline that writes long papers. How I handle stress is by knitting. For an hour or two I knit and forget about the work I have to do and the stress I am feeling and concentrate on knitting. Not only does it take my mind off of the things that are backing up that I need to do, but it makes me feel productive when I finish something. So if you are stressed out knit, it does wonders!

Here are some patterns I am currently working on:

To blog or not to blog that is the question

So starting a blog seems to be the thing to do. So I decided to start a blog about knitting. I started knitting freshman year of college and am currently the president of my campus's knitting club. Also my last happens to be scarf (it was meant to be).

This blog will contain awesome patterns I find, along with my triumphs and failures in my knitting endeavors. And probably what is going on with the club on campus. I also want to share community service projects tied to knitting (we are involved in a few projects currently on campus).

Enjoy!
