Camera Shy

A couple days ago I finally finished the chocolate and lime ski hat I had been working on. Hoping to post some pictures I went to get my digital camera only to find the battery dead, and my battery charging cord missing. It was just a day full of bad luck. Either way, pictures didn't get posted (obviously), but hopefully they will be soon. One good thing did come out of my camera disappointment though. In my frustration I picked up my needles again and cracked out a cable knit wrist warmer. I still have to make the other one (1/3 complete), but the project was super quick, and took me less then 24 hours to make. It probably helps that I got sucked in an America's Next Top Model marathon and sat there mindlessly knitting. The cable knit was deceptively difficult looking, and fun to make. I messed up a few times, but the ribbing and pattern help to disguise it, plus the yarn is a solid color. The only sad thing about the project is that I totally don't wear wrist warmers (a little too emo?).

Tomorrow I have no intention of going to school or working (Sorry Dad). Instead I'm going to spend my morning sipping mimosas, eating french toast and watching the inauguration. I hate to pass up any opportunity to watch Anderson Cooper. Between his awkward chemistry with every other CNN anchor and his pretentious white hair, he's captivating. Not to mention, I figure college is probably the only acceptable time in my life when drinking in the morning is okay. After my CNN-athon I'll take some time and sort through the wreckage that is my bedroom. Hopefully I'll be able to find my camera cord, otherwise my camera problems are bigger than not being able to post my knits.
