Cue the Final Fantasy Fanfare!!!!

Hi all!
   So here I am trying to reactivate my blog, or at least get into the habit of posting regularly again. I am proud to say that I have nearly finished a project that I was knitting for my Best Friend (or should I say sister). It was her birthday a week ago and I wanted to surprise her with the gift and allowed five days to complete it, but alas, life you are a fiendish devil sometimes!! Well, I completed the Bad Hair Day  hat and instead of doing it in one color I decided to go ahead and do it in Pink and Black. The color transition went well, but I accidentally went to 8 and a half inches instead of doing eight so now it reminds me of Link's Hat in Zelda (I think I might knit that one of these days!). So here are the pics!

Hey! Real Men wear Pink!

 So, Walt, my male Styrofoam head is modeling my newest fiber accomplishment. I finished it and I'm glad to say that although it is a little on the long side, I like it, and I hope my friend Jessie likes it to. It matches the scarf I made her for her birthday two years ago. Really, how lucky are my friends that they have a friend who knits? But she's knitworthy. She doesn't beg for knitted items and the scarf I made her was declared her favorite and when it's cold, she always wears it. So, until next time my loves, take care of yourself.

Knittingly Yours,
Ronnie

Been A While...MIA For Personal Reasons

Hi strangers!
   Been a while hasn't it? Life has been getting in the way of my hobby and it freaking sucks. School has been my top priority and sadly this blog had to be put on the back burner as I feverishly try and get my bachelor's in my hand so that I can find a decent job to get my life in order.
  I've had no reason to knit either. I found out a few weeks ago that a friend I lost contact with died in a car wreck. He was special as he and I grew up together  and we had reconnected a few years back. Those losses, the unexpected ones always hurt the most. When I lost my father three years ago, it was expected but at the same time unexpected. My father had cancer, but we lost him to a heart attack due to the chemotherapy and radiation had ravaged his body. My friend was perfectly healthy, except that idiot had a bad smoking habit; Well at least the last time I saw him he smoked, I do hope he stopped though. I have to admit that my friend's death will be slightly easier to get over since we haven't seen each other for a while. My father's has been more difficult since it is a constant reminder that he isn't here physically. I really hope that there is a heaven because I would love to see all whom I have lost throughout the years again.

It really makes me think...Anyway loves, hold those whom you love dearly close and don't forget to tell them how you feel about them, before it's too late.
