Off to my final exam, wish me luck.

Separated my sections. I have 18 stitches, 18 stitches, 3 stitches and 25 stitches. This is working from the centre to the outside.

Starting with 64 stitches and two rows of knit stitch. This is the underwire area.

The Shelley Bra Pattern (linked through the photo) looks simple and with lots of support. Problem? I’m not a sewer, I’m a yarnworker. I knit and crochet.

Thus, It’s time for some pattern-making.

As you can see, I’ve already started figuring out how I intend to start this. The project is also on Ravelry, and I’ll be updating with my progress as I go. I feel like it’s about time I was able to just knit myself a bra.

Almost Shelley

I think only one person follows me so this may seem like a silly post to have, but I wanted to warn everyone I am starting a knitting project, and I intend to blog the process. The tag will be #shelleybra: it’s a bra, in case you haven’t guessed. Feel free to block the tag if you need to.

Pass the happy along! When you see this reply with 5 things that make you happy , and then send this to the last 10 people in your activity!!!

I like this idea, so here’s my five:

1) Knitting/Crocheting. I enjoy seeing something come together.

2) The fact that my class is almost over. One more course and then I’m done for the summer.

3) Coffee. God knows Starbucks has saved my arse this term.

4) On the topic of consumables: Wawa pretzels. Recently was introduced to them and I keep getting more. It’s a problem, but they’re so good.

5) Sleep. I miss sleep. I get a five-day weekend and sleep is going to be such a wonderful thing.

Finally ¾ of the way through this journal! Now if I could only get ¾ of the way through that to-do list…

Finished three awful colours of yarn. Occasionally it’s nice to have yarn that I just want to get rid of because it means I don’t feel at all badly about trying new things and ending up with something horrid.

Got to the end of the test, turned it in, professor asks me about something on the board. Pretty sure it was something I missed because he started talking before break ended, and I stayed out for the whole break.

Nothing like feeling stupid in front of the whole class, but… I got maybe two hours of terrible sleep, and I just walked out of class. At this point I have a test I can drop and still keep my A and I’d like to study for the exam, not deal with whatever nonsense he had on the board.

Never let another person’s insecurities become yours.
