I have started an new project. (Yay!) I used red heart yarn again, (Shade 971, Camouflage) and I am making a scarf for my aunt. It's a simple stitch, even if it's not a commonly known one, called Extended Double Crochet (Edc). It is one in a family of extended stitches, such as Extended Single Crochet (Esc) and Extended Treble Crochet (Etr). You basically do this:

yoh, insert hook into stitch, yoh, pull through stitch (3 lps on hk), yoh, pull through 1 loop, (still have 3 lps on hk) yoh, pull through 2 lps, (2 lps on hk), yoh, pull through remaining 2 loops.

It's kind of confusing at first, but after a couple rows, you get it...at least, I did. :)

Currently listening to: Happy Birthday (Happy Birthday Daddy!!!)

Currently mood: Fine. Chilly.

Ravelry and Other Things...

So...we meet again. I haven't posted in a while, shame on me!

Rating of my life on a whole currently- 6/10
Rating of school currently- 7/10
rating of everything else - 5/10

School is pretty good (surprisingly!) and I found out today that the concert band will be playing while marching up to the field on sports day (!). I have to play saxophone in front of everyone while marching and i don't get to carry my sheet music. Right, which genius thought of that? I guess it's been done before, but... it's... still... daunting... ...

I joined Ravelry [http://www.ravelry.com/], and so far I say- ITS COOL!!!

Well, I just found out that one of my friends thinks I'm (swallows) stalking her. Some friend she is, and she didn't even tell me to my face. I had to hear it from two people. Also- My ex-friend who called me clingy has reappeared again. Trying to be friendly, ha! (To self- I shall not be offended, grudge bearing and rude. Say it again. I shall not be offended...) I will be nice to her, but I will have her know that her friendship is like a bruise, and every time she *tries* to be friendly I feel like walking off in a huff. It's not my fault she has no friends.

Anyways... I didn't really mean any of that (I think) but whatever. I think I choose the worst friends sometimes, but if my closest friends think I haven't noticed them talking about me amongst themselves, think again. Kind of like Harry in the Deathly Hallows... when they were camping...

Currently reading: Breaking Dawn, again.
Currently listening to: Steam - Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye).
Current mood: Slightly pissed would be a major understatement.

After that excruciatingly long post, I think I have tortured you enough, so I will day goodbye on the note that if I don't (and I quote) "Straighten up and fly right" (end quote) I'll be put under house arrest. i don't seethe difference though, it already feels like house arrest...

This is going to be a short, quick post. I have discovered hyperbolic crochet!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

Hyperbolic Crochet is the name given to applying a mathematical principle to crochet patterns. A hyperbolic plane expands exponentially from any point on its surface, always curving away from itself. Hyperbolic growth gives rise to the ruffled shapes of coral, kelp, and sea anemone. You can easily crochet a hyperbolic surface by increasing at a constant rate throughout the piece. Crocheting a reef is a great opportunity to try different yarns and stitches. The variety of textures and shapes will inspire you to expand your crochet boundaries.

I'm not quite sure exactly what it is and why its important, but I know its cool! I started making one with Red Heart Super Saver in shade 950, Mexicana (see picture below.)It looks so cool! Pictures will be up soon!
