Welcome to the blogs!

I had no idea you were so young! You are very mature for your age. :thumbsup:

Okay here’s some pictures. I posted these in Wat’cha Knitting, but I thought they would go good here, too:

Crochet Afghan. Just a big granny square with random color changes.

Mistake Rib Scarf. It’s finished now.

Another crochet afghan. This one’s 4-color ripple.

And, here’s my dog, that I posted in the “What is your pet” thread in the General Forum.

-I can type 102 words a minute with 97% accuracy.

Hey, there! Mine is one of your favorite blogs? You must have a very high tolerance for the mundane! :rofl:

I can’t wait to see pics of your sweaters! :happydance:

6

Hey, thanks, Ingrid. Yep, your blog is one of my favorites, and to tell you the truth, it’s the only one I look at. No offense to anyone else, I just don’t really have time to follow more than one.

7

I’m so, so insulted!

Okay, not really. I only have time because I have a low-demand job that I should pay more attention to. :oops:

8

:rofl: It’s just that Ingrid’s blog was the first one I ever read on here, and it just stuck with me, is all! :happydance:

Thanks, I just cast on for the Candle Flame Shawl in Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky, and you’ll see that tomorrow. Off to knit!

11

WOW! I didn’t know you were so young either!

maybe you and Jenelle will get married some day :heart: You can be our first KH wedding. And we’ll all knit everything… knit tuxedo, knit dress, knit flowers, knit favors, knit camera covers, knit silverware (okay, I’m reaching here… )

12

:roflhard: And I only keep up with seven or eight at a time because I cheat and read them during lab classes on occasion. :oops:

I didn’t know you were so young, either. Props to you for not typing like an idiot! :cheering: I was into IRC chat and all that when I was 14 and no one believed I was 14 because I used punctuation and capitalized things. Funny, isn’t it?

13

:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:

Yeah, it’s a shame more people my age don’t use correct grammar. Oh, look, now I sound like my English Teacher!

14

:rofl:

I don’t think it would work, really. :shrug:

15

16

Neither do I, nice style for a wedding, though. :rofl:

17

Okay, I’m officially part of “Expand your Stash '07.” It was started by these ladies for fun, in contrast to all the “Knit From Your Stash” groups that are really popular lately. Anyone can join, just copy my button, or the button from their site to your own photo server, and off you go!
