The tooth is all fixed and works well.
I have finished my first uni assignment for this semester ( there are 6 ) and will treat myself by starting a new project. High on the list is Mr Greenjeans, in BWM Luxury Koala and some scrummy Fortissima Mexico Country Clour sock yarn.
Finishing my assignment is a huge weight off of my shoulders, I have been forgetting things at work which has been worrying. I feel more able to handle the load of this semester at the moment but that could change as the semester progresses.
I have finished all of my custom-knit projects unfortunately I did not get to take a photo of the mobile phone bag that I finished, and the feathers scarf is now out of the house. Now it is time for something solely for me.
Friday Fill In:
1. It's time for tea.
2. Spotlight; it's not a bad place for yarn sometimes.
3. I must be an obsessive knitter.
4. Knitting is the best thing I have ever known.
5. My socks are simply handknitted.
6. The last time I laughed really loudly was when Miss A made me.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to surfin' the internet, tomorrow my plans include work and Sunday, I want to blow out the candles ;) !

Friday Fill In #134
Not much has happened this week, we had decided to go to the movies and out for dinner but that was not how it went. We got to the movies and before it even started I had busted a tooth on a Chocolate Eclair ( a chewy toffee ). Dinner was a soft Macdonalds hamburger because I did not want to break the tooth further - it is pretty bad, luckily it doesn't hurt yet. I was able to call the dentist before the movie started, unfortunately they don't open on Saturdays.
1. Breaking a tooth is not the end of the world.
2. Sitting here, listening to the sound of rain falling, I feel comforted I love hearing the rain falling on the roof at night it helps me sleep.
3. Chocolate tastes so good!
4. Sometimes, putting others first is necessary for the good of all.
5. Sock yarn is breathtaking, really.
6. Well, maybe there is a god.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sulking over my broken tooth whilst surfing the internet, tomorrow my plans include work, having someone come over and fix my roof, visitors Saturday night and Sunday, I want tosulk some more spend time with Miss A playing Wii Sport.

Socks!
Two pairs of socks have been completed this month:
Yarn: Vinca - #549
Needles: 2mm
Cast On: 68sts
Comments: Interesting yarn to knit with, lovely colour changes. Firm fit.
Yarn: Opal 'Lupin'
Needles 2.5mm
Cast on: 68sts
Comments:
Accidentally snipped the working yarn at the ribbing and had to reattach :( fortunately it didn't muck up the matching striped too much. Had to add some more black yarn 2 rounds before the end of the toes otherwise one would have had yellow and red at the tips of the toes. Very easy to match this yarn.
I have decided that life is too short to be saving the 'good' sock yarn. I had been waiting until I was worthy of the good yarn - not saying I am now worthy just giving up on that idea as no matter how careful I am during knitting, a small error inadvertently creeps in, whether it is a missed decrease found after the toes are kitchenered or me not remembering if I crossed a box on my ticky sheet. Socks are rather forgiving and mistakes like these do not affect the end product.
So I am going to be knitting up my Noro and my long petted yarns and my excitement for sock knitting is now bordering on the crazy side :)
