Hey you guys! It's so late at night, but I thought I should post, since I haven't done it in about a week.
Guess what you guys? I finished the scarf that I started on Monday! It's completed! Yay! I was going to make it for My Handsome Friend (a.k.a. Becky), but since she doesn't want it (she can make her own scarves), I've decided to give it to Eric.
It's a red scarf, done in garter stitch.
You know, it was kind of tiresome in the middle, stitching every single stitch. But in the end, you get this burst of excitement, and you're jumping up and down like crazy because you've actually finished something. Or maybe that's just me.
You see, I'm the type of person that never gets anything done: I'll start on something, get done halfway, then give up. I don't know what kept me going, but I'm really glad that I did.
Oh, you guys might be wondering why I made a scarf! Well, I decided, since I'm poor, I'm going to go make knitted stuff for my friends as Christmas gifts! Yay! No money being spent!
Of course, you have to spend money on the yarn and the knitting tools and all that whats-it-doodles, but I think it'll be worth it in the end.
Oh yeah. The anime club's host chose a bunch of the members to help her knit beanies for charity! We even get volunteer hours for it! Needless to say, with all my knitting work, I brought it to school everyday, and everyone kept watching me while I knitted. It was kind of cool, actually. Lots of people admitted that they wanted to start knitting, but never had the time. Some even asked me to make them stuff! (Pssh, yeah right!) I made two beanies (they're for babies), but my current one fell apart. I managed to salvage what I could, and I'll ask my teacher on how to fix it again.
...Oh yeah. I kept running to her office during class transitions to ask for more yarn over and over. She eventually made me use my own yarn. *groans*
On more good news (or should I say bad?), I'm almost done with my new theme! However, I realized, "Hey! It's not a Christmas theme!" and scrapped it altogether. It's such a shame. It was a nice theme too. Maybe I'll put it up in another part of the year. January, perhaps?
I know, I know, you guys are probably saying, "Stupid Travis! Don't quit on it just because it's not Christmas-themed! I'm sure it'll look fine!" I know all about that, but I just want to do something Christmas-related. However, nothing's coming to my head right now.
On other news, my aunt left Houston to go to Philadelphia to stay with her daughter. She'll be there for two months, until Chinese New Year, and then she'll head home to Vietnam.
She was crying the entire day, and my dad even told me that she was crying on the airplane (my dad somehow got past security; that tells you something...). At first, I didn't understand why, but you had to pull it out of context clues: She was crying because this would probably be the last trip to see her siblings before she died. Out of eleven children, she, my dad, and my other auntie (who hates my family) are the only people left in her family. My cousin (my auntie's daughter) said she hadn't cried since "Dad" passed away. It's really sad once you think about it.
I kind of regret being annoyed around her when she came to visit us. I mean, she didn't even live in our country, know our customs, and because of her "ignorance," it really bothered me. I feel like a (can't say it online) right now... Oy.
I'll be working on another scarf for now (stockinette style, yeah!). I'll see you guys later, okay? Bye!
