As I said....

Yeah, I haven't blogged in awhile. But a shout out to Linz who's rejoined the blogosphere and even posted on my blog!

I didn't post while on vacation in Winnipeg, because I was just spending as much as possible with Sean. We spent our time hanging out together, watching some movies and painting. We also planned out some stuff, which included:

-Going to the Manitoba Museum and eating some street dogs
-Sushi at Meiji
-Going to Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End
-Going to the Assiniboine Park Zoo
-Walking around Polo Park
-Eating dinner with his family

After getting back to work, Leye and I were alone (everyone else was on their holidays) and spent our time scanning. We had some nice days as the rest of the crew came back, and got to do some more good field work, but then two things got in our way. The first was weather, in which Red Lake once again bowed to the Weather Network's Summer Outlook Forecast and became incredibly rainy. The other is that I developed some strange chest infection, which kept me from scanning and bush work. However, the drill has started up again, so now I'm assisting Nesha in logging core.

I've been knitting, my first Sockapalooza 4 sock is done apart from grafting, and I'm up to the heel flap on the second. I also knitted a Gryffindor bookscarf for myself, which I can't put fringe on until I get home to a crochet hook. I've realised that the bookscarf is not really particularly useful for me, as I never put down a new Harry Potter book until I'm finished reading. Oh well, it's fun anyway :)

My next break starts Thursday evening, and I won't be posting much during that time off either. The week involves a trip to Dryden to visit and renew my license and get a bite splint made, picking up HP7, going to OOTP, and hopefully confirming a wedding location. Wish me luck!

G is for...

Gryffindor. I have made MANY Gryffindor things, including a full Gryffindor costume (POA style), as well as two Gryffindor scarves (one PS/COS and one POA), and two Hermione hats. I love HP!

I also love to wear costumes, and by making knitted items from movies it means I can wear a part of them whenever I want! There's also the advantage of finding random fellow fans as well. Other knitting projects from movies I want to make:

LOTR:
Pippin's Scarf

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe:
Susan's Hide and Seek Sweater
Lucy's Lamppost Sweater

Goblet of Fire:
Hogwarts Scarf (in background)
Ginny's Sweater

That's a lot of stuff, but some of it I'm going to leave for awhile. Lucy's sweater, for instance, would be made for a little girl and not for me. I suppose it could go in a "Hope Chest" though.
