Bookshelves, Pink Panties, and Ravenclaw Paraphernalia

[anogete]

I couldn't leave well enough alone. I went back to the store and got more letters so I could put the alphabet and numbers on the bookcase.



While at Target, I treated myself to some summer sleepwear. I haven't bought anything girly in a couple years, so I got a couple short nighties and a frilly tank top with some even frillier boy shorts. I figured since I was being such a girl, I might as well throw in some pink panties. The last time I wore my pink polka dot panties, Jason made fun of me. I guess I'm not a very pink person.

I got the itch to knit something over the weekend, so I started on a HP Ravenclaw house scarf. I was even legit and got some bronze yarn instead of the silver they use in the movies. It's coming along quite nicely, but it isn't even halfway finished yet. It's terribly easy to knit, though. So, I can watch television while working on it. The majority of that sucker was done while watching There Will Be Blood on Saturday. Great movie, but I don't know if it deserves all the copious fandom love it is getting.

Oh, the bookcase looks very good!

Did you knit the scarf in the round? I did a Gryfinndor scarf a couple of years ago, it took forever!

Yes, I did it in the round. The instructions call for it to be knit flat and seamed, but I hate seaming with a passion. Hate it. So, with a couple small modifications, I started it in the round. Then I'll only have to seam up both ends.

Who is the bookshelf for?

[anogete.livejournal.com]

My niece. She's turning two years old today, and her birthday party is on Saturday. Her mother and grandmother don't buy her books, and she doesn't have a bookshelf. I thought that was a shame, so my b-day present to her is going to be that bookshelf with about forty picture books I've been collecting at various used bookstores over the last three weeks. She loves books, but only has about ten, which are kept in a basket out of her reach.

There Will Be Blood is getting fandom love? I mean, I loved the movie beyond the telling of it (I'm a DDL Fangirl) but it didn't seem like the type of movie to have a fandom, exactly. Outside of all the "I Drink Your Milkshake" videos, I mean.

I haven't looked into it too much, but I thought there was some fiction running around. Being about 2 1/2 hours long, you wouldn't think I'd want it to continue much further, but I thought the ending was a bit abrupt. Anyway, I looked up the Milkshake videos and laughed my ass off this morning.

Are you using DPNs for your scarf?

Great bookshelf!

[anogete.livejournal.com]

I'm using circulars. I dislike working with DPNs unless it is something small (like the top of a hat or a sock/stocking).

You are being very artistic! Good luck wrapping the bookshelf!

Yarn p0rn, lol. :D I love knitting projects that just keep my hands busy.

And hurray for Betty Page!
